The heavy-duty LR1200SX was especially well received because the luffing jib delivers long reach, high capacity and precise load control. Danny Saint, General Superintendent and Equipment Manager of Vezers Precision Industrial Construction International, experienced first hand the ruggedness of LR1200SX when Vezers rented it for a project at the Monarch Cement Company. “This is a mammoth project. We needed to rely on one crane for all major lifts to keep the job on schedule and on budget. The LR1200SX is keeping our project profitable,” stated Mr. Saint.

The crane also gives operators some added benefits. “I’ve run other rental rigs from Essex and they are always reliable, but this new Liebherr is a special treat. The cab is really comfortable…a perfect fit even for a size XXXL. I especially like the control console and the crane’s smooth response,” said Jim Sullivan, crane operator for Vezers.

With the near term additions, Essex’s fleet of 275-ton cranes will have grown to more the 25 cranes. The Liebherr LR1200SX combined with its incredible luffing jib and market acceptance makes this crawler crane the best in the 275 ton class.

Essex Crane Rental Corp. has grown steadily over the last 40 years into the world’s largest provider of lattice-boom crawler cranes and attachments. With over 420 cranes and attachments in its fleet, Essex supplies cranes for construction projects related to power generation, petro-chemical, refineries, water treatment & purification, bridges, highways, hospitals, shipbuilding and commercial construction.
