THE STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY
is located in Hialeah Gardens just off Okeechobee and the
Florida Turnpike. It will serve as a major hub for Liebherr’s maritime cranes division and will further
strengthen business relations to Central and South America and to the Caribbean region.
In terms of logistics, the sales and service centre is 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.
During the course of the event, guests were able to view Lieherr’s innovative power and high
technological standards. Besides a variety of machines, including a crawler crane, a piling and
drilling rig, reachstackers and mobile cranes, Liebherr presented its latest technologies in a
separate area. One of the highlights was a model of the company’s new, eco-friendly hybrid
drive, Pactronic.
The complex is situated on a total property area covering about 40 000 m

. The building has a
total area of 3800m

, with 2100m
2
of this as office space and 1700m

as storage area. During the
course of 2013, about 52 staff members will be working in the new facility.
The sales and service centre accommodates a fully furnished workshop with a 10-ton
(9 metric tonne) overhead crane, two fully equipped 6m welding containers, one 6m wire rope
reeling container and two fully equipped mobile harbour cranes commissioning containers.
In addition, it houses special tools and equipment for after sales service. For serving greater
Miami, the Fort Lauderdale area and the surrounding ports, service personnel have six service
trucks at their disposal.
The sales and service centre was completed a mere 15 months after the first sod of soil was
turned; total investment sum for the building was approximately $20-million.
“The facility perfectly meets the requirements for further improving our sales and service
performance in North and Latin America”, emphasised Gernot Schranz, President of Liebherr
Nenzing Crane Co.
