JINERT HAS ITS LIEBHERR LG 1550 REPAIRED AND PAINTED IN EHINGEN, GERMANY
Swedish lifting and transport service provider Jinert has had one of its LG 1550s, which it uses for the maintenance of wind turbines and for industrial and infrastructure projects, repaired and painted at Liebherr’s large repair workshop in Ehingen-Berg, Germany. The decision to repair the crane at the Liebherr location in southern Germany was based on the available capacity, the complexity of the damage and the size of the crane. For example, emergency
repairs are also undertaken there at short notice and large cranes are repaired. “Since we added this crane to our fleet in 2016, our experience with it has been excellent,” reports the company’s managing director Björn Jinert. Liebherr produced this crane type from 1992 to 2009, making it an easy decision to have the crane professionally repaired after it had recently come off a slippery road.
