awesome pics you got jason, i really like the shot with the 2 1160s sitting like that, pretty cool, wish there were more liebherr cranes around here, ive only seen 1 (a LR1280 i think it was) in about 10 years, except for the LR1400 that was here a few months ago

Great pictures. For those that have not been around Liebherrs, the attention to detail is phenomenal. Just look at the attention to operator safety with the handrails etc. This is true of each machine in their line.

Yeah, those are very nice. I like the little features like the fold down steps and upper railings.

I really love the Liebherr crawlers sweet cranes. Right now there is a a bunch of them in the area
Lr1100
Lr1160 x 2
Lr 1200 sx
Lr1280
Ltr1100 x 2

I just love it it is hard to decide what site to go visit everyday I am out driving, and now the Man21000 is here I could spend all day checking out crawlers

Very nice... They don't get much more new than that. I'd like to have a model of one of those.

Kids are great at that age. That's when they actually still love hanging out with dad.
