F.lli Zanoletti upgrades fleet in Italy with new Liebherr MK 88-4.1 cranes
The Italian transport and crane company F.lli Zanoletti S.p.A. is upgrading its fleet with a new Liebherr MK 88-4.1 mobile construction crane.
The flexible four-axle crane is ideal for assignments in densely built-up areas and for one-person handling. Its ecological and future-oriented hybrid power concept enables all-electric operation. Completing several tasks on the same day is also no problem at all for this mobile construction crane.
Managing directors Bortolo and Edoardo Zanoletti were of the same opinion at the official handover of their MKย 88-4.1, โLiebherr stands for quality, comprehensive service support and reliable availability of spare parts.โ At present, the fleet belonging to F.lliย Zanolettiย S.p.A. consists of 18ย machines, six of which are Liebherr cranes.
A new MKย 88-4.1 is now set to join five already existing LTM mobile cranes. The MKย 88-4.1 is put to use in a variety of contexts, and always when time and space are in short supply. Work can be carried out directly at the building thanks to the mobile construction craneโs vertical tower. Its infinitely adjustable elevating cabin ensures the crane operator always has their load in view.
Intelligent assistance systems for precision lifting
The taxi crane also offers a jib head load capacity of 2,200ย kilograms at a maximum radius of 45ย metres. Its increased lifting capacities, compared to the MKย 88, ensure even greater performance, especially in luffed jib position. Intelligent assistance systems support the crane operator and enable precise and safe working, even in challenging situations.
In addition, low-noise, emission-free operation using site power provides decisive advantages, especially when working at night and on inner-city sites. In cases when a power supply canโt be accessed, independent operation is ensured via an efficient diesel generator.
The two assigned crane operators at Zanoletti, Simone Bonfanti and Tomaso Ferazzini, are already looking forward to their first jobs with the new MKย 88-4.1, โOur first impressions of the MKย 88-4.1 are extremely positive. The craneโs different steering set-ups make it easy to handle out on the road and on tight construction sites. Precise operation also means itโs fast and efficient on site.โ To make sure everything goes smoothly, the operators received several days of training at Liebherrโs site in Biberach.
F.lli ย Zanolettiย S.p.A. bought its first Liebherr crane, a 170-tonne machine, four decades ago. Based in Bergamo, the company employs 25ย people and renews its fleet at regular intervals. As a rule, all rental machines are less than 20ย years old.
