Holzbau Bögerl Buys First Liebherr Mobile Crane

Timber construction company Holzbau Bögerl GmbH from Breitenbrunn in the Upper Palatinate is setting new standards in assembly. For the first time in the company’s history, the family business has purchased a mobile crane – the compact and powerful Liebherr LTC 1050-3.1. With this investment, the company is responding to the growing requirements of modern timber construction. Holzbau Bögerl’s field of activity has changed significantly in recent years. Instead of traditional roof trusses, the focus today is on large-format wall, ceiling, and roof elements, which are often delivered prefabricated with insulation, windows, or interior fittings. This construction method requires not only precision but also greater lifting capacity and reach, often in confined spaces. “Our lorry-mounted loading crane had reached its limits. A compact mobile crane was the logical next step for us,” explains company owner Richard Bögerl.

The Liebherr LTC 1050-3.1 compact crane was a deliberate choice, as Thomas Bögerl explains: “We were impressed by the well-thought-out overall concept. With its short chassis and minimal turning circle, the three-axle mobile crane is perfect for tight construction sites. Thanks to its all-wheel drive, differential locks, and large-volume tyres, it also performs well off-road. The crane can be driven with ballast, eliminating the need for additional transport, and can be set up and ready for use within 15 to 20 minutes. That saves us valuable time.” Brother Markus Bögerl adds: “The LTC 1050-3.1 also impressed us technically. Its low overall height allows it to enter halls with a clearance of just three metres. Lifting heights of up to 48 metres are possible with the folding jib. The variable VarioBase® support system offers more power and maximum safety, especially in confined spaces. The remote control enables high-precision operation of all functions – including undercarriage travel. Even travelling under load is possible within permissible limits, which is ideal for large construction sites.”

In the future, the new mobile crane will be used on a variety of projects – from roof trusses and façade installations to complete detached houses and major public buildings such as schools and nurseries. Commenting on the decision to purchase the first mobile crane from Liebherr, Richard Bögerl says: “Liebherr stands for quality, innovation, and decades of experience in mobile crane construction. It was important for us not only to choose a technically outstanding product, but also a company that offers reliable service and strong customer focus. With Liebherr, we have an experienced partner at our side in whom we have complete trust.”
