In June, Liebherr held its Customer Days event in Ehingen, Germany, where it introduced its newest crawler crane, the LR 1500, which has been designed with compact dimensions and worldwide transport in mind. 

The newly developed LR 1500 is a 551-ton (500-tonne) model with the dimensions and weight of a 441-ton (400-tonne) crane. Its transport weight is 50 tons (45 tonnes), allowing it to be transported nearly anywhere in the world without restrictions.

Terex AWP/Genie has designed the hybrid-powered GS-2669 BE to be a versatile, all-around lift that delivers the same power and performance as a diesel or dual-fuel rough-terrain scissor lift, plus has the ability to work exhaust-free indoors on finished flooring until a project is complete.

That outdoor/indoor versatility benefits rental companies by letting them rent the same machine for a wider variety of applications. It also gives them the opportunity to keep the same machine rented from a project's start to its finish.

During his demonstration at the Showcase, Genie scissor product manager Mark Powell highlighted the GS-2669 BE's lifting capacity, versatility, performance, and ease of service. Powell noted that the GS-2669 BE has a maximum platform capacity of 1,500 lbs., including up to four people.
