30-Second Takeaway
International infrastructure company INZAG has added a new Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 mobile crane to its fleet for deployment on a major road construction project in Angola. The 90-tonne crane will support logistics, mobilisation, and construction operations across the remote infrastructure site while continuing the long-standing partnership between INZAG and Liebherr.
INZAG Expands Crane Fleet with Second Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2
International construction and infrastructure company INZAG has taken delivery of a new Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 mobile crane, strengthening its lifting capabilities for large-scale infrastructure projects across Africa.
The new 4-axle, 90-tonne all-terrain crane is the second LTM 1090-4.2 in the company’s fleet and will play a key role in an upcoming road construction project in Angola.
At the official handover in Ehingen were representatives from both companies, including Lorenz Weber and Leandro Fernandez from INZAG alongside Liebherr representative Marius Kleck.
According to INZAG, the decision to standardise around the Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 aligns with the company’s operational strategy.
“Unlike crane hire companies, our aim is not to have the largest possible fleet with many different crane types, but rather a reliable all-rounder that is versatile and capable of handling both small and large lifts,” said Lorenz Weber, Procurement Director at INZAG.
Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 Offers Flexibility for Global Infrastructure Projects
The Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 combines high lifting performance with strong mobility, making it well suited for demanding international infrastructure projects.
Variable Axle Loads Support Worldwide Transport
One of the key advantages of the crane is its ability to operate with variable axle loads, allowing easier transport across international markets and greater flexibility for mobilisation.
This enables the crane to travel efficiently on public roads while also adapting to challenging construction site conditions.
ECOdrive and ECOmode Improve Efficiency
INZAG highlighted the importance of operational efficiency and environmental performance when selecting the crane.
The LTM 1090-4.2 includes Liebherr’s:
ECOdrive system
ECOmode functionality
These technologies help reduce:
Fuel consumption
Operating costs
Noise emissions
The company said these features support both operator comfort and environmental sustainability on long-term infrastructure projects.
First Deployment Supports Major Angola Road Project
The new Liebherr mobile crane will immediately be deployed on a major infrastructure development project in Angola.
146-Kilometre National Road Rehabilitation Project
The project involves the rehabilitation of the EN 140/295 national road between the municipalities of Caiundo and Savate in southern Angola.
The remote nature of the project location made fleet self-sufficiency a critical requirement for INZAG.
“For this project, we needed a multifunctional crane that can be mobilised quickly, is flexible on site and can also be replaced during the operation should that become necessary,” explained Weber.
Crane to Support Logistics and Construction Operations
According to Leandro Fernandez, Managing Director at INZAG, the crane will initially support mobilisation and setup operations across the construction site.
Primary applications will include:
Camp and facility installation
Unloading operations
Site logistics support
Bitumen plant operations
Precast plant support
Installation of box culverts
Fernandez said the crane’s high lifting capacities and large working radius were key factors in selecting the LTM 1090-4.2 for the project.
Longstanding Partnership Between INZAG and Liebherr Continues
INZAG said its partnership with Liebherr is built on long-term reliability, technical support, and product quality.
Customer Service and Technical Support Remain Key Factors
The company emphasised that aftersales support and spare parts availability were major considerations in the purchasing decision.
“In addition to the machine itself, customer service, spare parts availability and technical support play a decisive role for us requirements that Liebherr fulfils,” said Fernandez.
German Engineering Supports Export-Financed Projects
Many of INZAG’s infrastructure projects are supported through export financing arrangements from the German Federal Government. As a result, the use of German-manufactured equipment remains an important component of project delivery standards and service quality.
