Liebherr has delivered a new HS 8130.1 duty cycle crawler crane to Dubai-based rental company Salim Equipment Rental LLC.

Liebherr said the deal, which was completed on the second day of Bauma earlier this month, will reinforce one of the largest duty cycle crawler crane fleets in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.

The unit will be primarily used to support ground improvement operations, such as dynamic compaction, on upcoming national infrastructure projects.

It said that the HS series offers a wide range of applications, including work with slurry wall grabs, dragline buckets, and casing oscillators.

Additionally, the cranes feature a hydraulic power pack, allowing users to integrate vibroflotation equipment, vibratory and impact hammers, and even operate as service cranes for lifting tasks.

Attendees at the handover at Bauma included Daikyo Kenki Co., Ltd., a joint venture partner, represented by Mr. Yutaro Uchida, executive Director, and Mr. Takeo Seto, Corporate Planning Officer.

“Liebherr was chosen because of its robust design, performance, reliability and unparalleled product support,” said Mr Sajil Salim, president and CEO of the Salim Equipment Group.

“We are proud of our partnership and history with Liebherr over the years and the legacy we have created together. Liebherr is a badge of honour which we wear with pride. This purchase positions us further as the rental partner of choice, having the biggest and youngest fleet of Liebherr duty cycle crawler cranes.”
