PT Superkrane expands fleet with LTM 1230-5.1

PT Superkrane Mitra Utama Tbk, one of Indonesia’s leading heavy haulage companies, has expanded its crane fleet with a new Liebherr LTM 1230-5.1 mobile crane. The company is thus preparing for demanding large-scale projects in 2026. “The decision in favour of the LTM 1230-5.1 was based, among other things, on its technical performance and the specific requirements of a customer project,” explains Yafin Tandiono Tan, President Director, PT Superkrane Mitra Utama Tbk. The 230-tonne crane has an extremely long telescopic boom and is particularly suitable for operation in steep positions and at great hook heights. “With its 75-metre telescopic boom, Variobase^® system and the highest lifting capacity in its class, this crane is the ideal addition to our 5-axle fleet.”

Crane to operate in long-term projects
As a company specialised in comprehensive services in the areas of equipment rental, heavy lifting and logistics, as well as construction, PT Superkrane actively supports the Indonesian government’s strategic initiatives to promote industrial value creation in the country. “We play a crucial role in facilitating the downstream processes that transform raw materials into high-quality end products,” says Yafin Tandiono Tan. The new 230-tonne crane will therefore be used primarily for long-term construction projects in the oil and gas industry, petrochemicals, energy sector, mining and infrastructure.

In addition to the technical performance of the LTM 1230-5.1, the high market acceptance and resale value of Liebherr cranes were decisive factors in the investment decision. “Another key factor was the excellent service and comprehensive, reliable support provided by the Liebherr team,” emphasises Yafin Tandiono Tan.
