5 benefits of mobile construction cranes

Lift, move, and place heavy materials and equipment on the tightest urban sites with Liebherr's MK 88-4.1E mobile construction crane. The versatility of the machine allows it to succeed across industries: infrastructure projects, wind energy installations, port operations, transportation, and even emergency response.

Liebherr's MK mobile construction crane stands out with a myriad of additional features and capabilities. Read on to discover the top five benefits of adding a mobile construction crane to your fleet.

1. Independently operated machine

The MK mobile construction crane is designed so that one operator can do it all. Drive it to the site, set it up, and start lifting. It's a one-man machine built for speed, efficiency, and independence on the job.

Integrated technologies like an advanced remote-control system and automated levelling simplify every step of the process. Real-time diagnostics and built-in safety features ensure smooth operation while minimizing the risk of error.

2. Flexible transport and lift solution

Known as a "taxi crane," the MK mobile construction crane is always ready to go with no additional trucks or setup teams. It's driven to the site, sets up fast, and gets right to work. Due to its compact design and excellent manoeuvrability, the MK mobile construction crane can easily navigate tight urban spaces, allowing for fast, hassle-free transport.

3. Handles lifts beyond building footprints

The Liebherr MK machines are designed for working on interfering building edges, including rooftops, parking garages, or overhangs. With their long horizontal reach and upward jib angles, they can safely lift loads up and over obstacles.

4. Applicable across different construction needs

The MK mobile construction cranes are designed to be used in a variety of areas, such as urban and night sites, refineries and chemical plants, roof refurbishment, installation of solar panels and skylights, prefabricated components and house construction, maintenance and repair work, bridge and road building, and steel construction.

5. Designed for tight job sites

Urban construction sites are crowded and chaotic, but the MK'S compact design and tight slewing radius, and flexible outrigger options make it a pro at squeezing into crowded city streets, narrow alleys, and jobsites where space is limited. It's the perfect machine for operations in places other cranes can't fit.
