UNITED ARAB EMIRATES : Al Faris Equipment Rentals places €40 million order for Liebherr
Publish Date : 27-Dec-2011
Dubai-based Al Faris Equipment Rentals has placed orders to deliver 47 Liebherr mobile cranes worth more than €40 million. It has already received first units and the order is due to be completed at the end of 2012.
Another major order is anticipated early next year for delivery in 2013. The cranes will be a major addition to the Al Faris fleet which already comprises 180 Liebherr cranes, said Liebherr.
The company placed orders for telescopic cranes All-Terrain and crawler chassis with capacities of between 60 and 750 tonnes. The majority of the cranes are 95 tonne five axle LTM 1095-5.1 and 100 tonne LTM 1100-5.2. The orders also comprise major number of LTR 1060 and LTR 1100 telescopic crawler cranes.
According to Al Faris, it chose these because “on long-term construction sites they are considerably more efficient in operation than comparable off-road cranes.” According to Al Faris managing director Hillary Pinto, high residual values, the number of Liebherr after-sales service facilities in the region and excellent parts availability were the deciding factors to go wiht Liebherr.
