The Salgert Group has expanded its heavy-lift fleet with the addition of a new Liebherr LTM 1400-6.1 mobile crane, reinforcing its ability to undertake increasingly complex lifting operations across industrial, infrastructure, energy, and construction projects. Delivered in April 2026, the 450-tonne crane represents a strategic investment aimed at enhancing operational flexibility, lifting performance, and customer service.
The new crane has already been deployed on demanding assignments, where it has demonstrated its capabilities in handling heavy loads with efficiency and precision. Feedback from crane operators and dispatch teams has highlighted its ease of operation, advanced technology, and adaptability across a wide range of lifting applications.
The Liebherr LTM 1400-6.1 is equipped with a 70-metre telescopic boom and features advanced engineering designed to simplify on-site assembly while delivering exceptional lifting performance. Its modular boom system enables rapid configuration for different project requirements, allowing the crane to operate efficiently across varied job sites. The machine’s design also supports reduced setup times, helping customers complete projects with greater productivity and cost efficiency.
Commenting on the investment, Wolfgang Salgert, Owner of the Salgert Group, said, “The addition of the LTM 1400-6.1 marks an important step in the continued development of our fleet. It enables us to undertake larger and more technically demanding projects while providing customers with greater flexibility, efficiency and dependable lifting solutions. This investment strengthens our long-term ability to respond to evolving market requirements.”
To maximise operational versatility, Salgert has equipped the crane with a comprehensive range of optional equipment, including the Y-guying system for the telescopic boom. This technology significantly enhances lifting capacity and extends the crane’s performance on challenging heavy-lift assignments. The LTM 1400-6.1 is the smallest Liebherr mobile crane to offer this advanced feature, enabling operators to deliver higher lifting performance without compromising mobility or operational efficiency.
The new addition expands the company’s fleet into the higher-capacity lifting segment, positioning Salgert to support increasingly sophisticated projects while maintaining high standards of safety, reliability, and execution. The investment reflects the company’s commitment to modernising its equipment portfolio and providing customers with advanced lifting solutions tailored to today’s industrial requirements.
The Salgert Group has maintained a long-standing relationship with Liebherr, operating an entirely Liebherr mobile crane fleet. The company cites the manufacturer’s engineering quality, dependable equipment, efficient spare parts support, and trusted partnership as key factors behind its continued investment.
The Salgert Group is a family-owned company with operations in Lohmar, Euskirchen, Mönchengladbach, and Duisburg, Germany. The company provides mobile crane services, heavy haulage, aerial work platforms, forklift solutions, and specialised industrial services. Its fleet includes 20 Liebherr mobile cranes, supported by a team of approximately 50 employees dedicated to delivering safe, reliable, and efficient lifting solutions across a broad range of industries.
