Munich-based carpentry company Zimmerei Frank has officially received the first Liebherr 43 K fast-erecting crane. The crane was successfully delivered in May 2025 and has joined a fleet of 14 existing Liebherr cranes. The medium-sized company has opted for Liebherr's quality, reliability, and collaborative partnership on all its projects for years.

Proven successor model offers technical advantages

Liebherr's 43 K succeeds the popular 34 K, a crane model that Zimmerei Frank has used previously. The company has now decided to opt for the 43 K, the first crane produced from the new series. Its increased hook height of 30.2 metres was a key factor in making the decision, as this is a particular advantage for inner-city construction sites in Munich.

Practical and functional, perfect for tricky sites

Zimmerei Frank specializes in renovations, extensions, and large building projects. High-performance, compact solutions are essential for tight construction sites in Bavaria's capital. The new Liebherr 43 K fast-erecting crane is ideal here with its small footprint, long reach, and high hook height. Its standard equipment includes the load-sway assistant Sway Control, which ensures safety and stability for less experienced crane operators.

A strong sign of trust and partnership

The new crane made its first impressions at Liebherr's site in Biberach at the end of 2024. A thorough inspection and test drive took place during a factory tour. This purchase of the first 43 K confirms the close, long-standing partnership between Zimmerei Frank and Liebherr.

"Zimmerei Frank stands for quality and honest collaboration. We expect the same from our suppliers. Our many years of working with Liebherr is a reflection of this," explains Stefan Frank, owner and managing director at Zimmerei Frank.
