Crane Package for Imetame: Four Liebherr Mobile Cranes for Major Pulp Industry Project

The Brazilian Imetame Group has added four Liebherr mobile cranes LTM 1090-4.2, LTM 1120-4.1, LTM 1250-5.1 and LTM 1230-5.1 to support a large-scale pulp and paper project in Mato Grosso do Sul.

30-Second Takeaway The Imetame Group  has strengthened its heavy lifting capabilities with the addition of four Liebherr mobile cranes   LTM 1090-4.2, LTM 1120-4.1, LTM 1250-5.1 and LTM 1230-5.1 to support a major pulp and paper project in Brazil . The all-terrain cranes offer high lifting capacities, long telescopic booms and advanced stabilisation systems, enabling complex industrial assembly, pipeline installation and heavy lifting operations in Mato Grosso do Sul. Liebherr Mobile Cranes for Pulp and Paper Project in Brazil The Brazilian Imetame Group  has added four high-capacity Liebherr mobile cranes  to its fleet, significantly increasing its operational capability for complex industrial lifting. The investment supports a large-scale pulp and paper project  in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul one of Brazil’s fastest-growing regions for forestry and cellulose production infrastructure. The cranes will be deployed for: Heavy structural lifting Assembly of process plant components Installation of extensive pipeline systems Steel erection and mechanical assembly Logistics support across multiple construction phases In large pulp facilities, lifting operations require precision, height flexibility and reliable uptime, particularly when working around process equipment and confined industrial layouts. Strategic Fleet Expansion for Industrial Performance The acquisition reflects Imetame’s targeted expansion strategy increasing lifting capacity while maintaining stringent safety and performance standards. Ronaldo Sarcinelli, Operations Manager at Imetame Metalmecânica, stated: “The cranes are perfectly adapted to our operational requirements and ensure productivity and high performance even in complex environments.” Industrial pulp and paper projects demand coordinated lifting solutions capable of handling heavy vessels, boilers, evaporators and prefabricated modules under tight timelines. The selected crane package provides a scalable lifting solution across varying load classes and working radii. The Four-Crane Configuration LTM 1090-4.2 Versatile 4-Axle Performance The LTM 1090-4.2 delivers mobility and operational efficiency, making it ideal for general lifting tasks, component positioning and support operations across the site. Its compact design supports frequent repositioning within constrained plant layouts. LTM 1120-4.1 Long Boom, Maximum 4-Axle Power As the most powerful crane in the 4-axle class, the LTM 1120-4.1 features an exceptionally long telescopic boom, reducing the need for additional transport vehicles and optimising setup times. Its performance-to-weight ratio allows high lifting capacity within standard axle load limits. LTM 1250-5.1 High-Capacity Heavy Lifter The LTM 1250-5.1 is widely recognised as the world’s most powerful 5-axle mobile crane. Designed to deliver maximum lifting capacity within permissible axle loads, it is suited for heavier industrial components requiring high radius stability and elevated hook heights. LTM 1230-5.1 Height and Steep Position Specialist With its particularly long telescopic boom and optional lattice extensions, the LTM 1230-5.1 provides ideal solutions for tall structures and steep lifting positions common in pulp processing towers and structural frameworks. Together, the four cranes form a balanced fleet capable of addressing diverse lifting scenarios from ground-level mechanical installation to high-elevation structural assembly. Advanced Stability and Site Adaptability All cranes feature all-terrain undercarriages , enabling efficient travel between public roads and off-road industrial environments. Key technologies include: VarioBase®  for variable outrigger positioning and enhanced safety in restricted spaces VarioBallast®  for flexible counterweight radius adjustment Telescopic boom systems enabling rapid height access Compatibility with folding jibs and lattice extensions In industrial plant construction, where space constraints and variable ground conditions are common, these systems provide measurable advantages in safety, setup efficiency and load chart optimisation. Supporting Brazil’s Expanding Pulp Sector Brazil remains one of the world’s leading pulp producers, with Mato Grosso do Sul emerging as a key investment hub due to its forestry resources and infrastructure expansion. Major pulp projects typically involve: Large-scale processing plants Energy recovery units Chemical processing towers Logistics infrastructure Such developments require sustained heavy lifting support over extended construction schedules, making fleet reliability and service support critical success factors. Strengthened Partnership with Liebherr Imetame highlighted reliability, technical support quality and comprehensive customer service  as decisive factors in the purchase decision. The collaboration between Imetame and Liebherr has strengthened in recent years, reinforcing Liebherr’s position in Brazil’s heavy industrial and infrastructure markets. For contractors operating in complex environments, dependable service networks and rapid spare parts availability are essential to maintaining productivity and protecting project timelines.
