More than 300 invited customers and guests attended the grand opening of 718 Liebherr’s new sales and service centre in Miami, Florida.

The new state-of-the-art facility will serve as a major hub for Liebherr’s maritime cranes division and will further strengthen business relations with Central and South America and the Caribbean region.  

In terms of logistics, the sales and service centre is said to be ideally located: the port of Miami and Miami International Airport are in close proximity to the new site. This allows Liebherr to respond to customer enquiries within a short time and to accelerate the distribution of parts and services.  

A variety of Liebherr machines, including a crawler crane, a piling and drilling rig, reachstackers and mobile cranes were present at the official centre opening. Liebherr also presented its newest technologies, including a model of the company’s new, eco-friendly hybrid drive, named Pactronic.

The newly built complex is situated on a total property area covering 40,000m². In 2013 about 52 staff members will be working in this new facility.

The sales and service centre accommodates a fully furnished workshop with a 9tonne overhead crane, two fully equipped 6m welding containers, one 6m wire rope reeling container and two fully equipped mobile harbour cranes commissioning containers. Special tools and equipment for after sales service can also be found. For serving greater Miami, the Fort Lauderdale area and the surrounding ports, service personnel have six service trucks at their disposal.

“The new facility perfectly meets the requirements to further improve our sales and service performance in both North and Latin America,” said Gernot Schranz, president of Liebherr Nenzing Crane Co.
