Active Crane Rentals adds Liebherr crane to fleet

For more than 50 years, Active Crane Rentals of Wilmington, Delaware, has supplied cranes, lifting and rigging services in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The company is about to grow by adding a Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane to its fleet.

When Active takes delivery of the crane in July, it will be the largest in the company’s fleet. The LTM 1350-6.1 is a 400 U.S. ton class crane with a 230 foot boom and expanded load and handling capacities.

“Liebherr cranes are reliable, where no expense is spared in creating the most operator friendly machine. This crane will add value to our business through the ability to quickly and safely build the crane,” says Active Crane Rentals Treasurer Hunter Schmeusser. “Our new LTM 1350-6.1 is going to be the largest crane in our fleet as we continue to grow and supply our surrounding communities with the best service available.”

A bridge project, water plant reconstruction and chemical plant maintenance jobs are ahead for Active’s new crane. Steve Schmeusser is president of the company, which employs about 25 people and has 30 cranes overall, including a Liebherr LTM 1160-5.1 mobile crane.

“Active Crane Rentals is thankful for being able to sustain longevity with the same customers we started out with 50 years ago,” says Karen Schmeusser. “Our diversity, reputation and commitment to our customers has allowed us to maintain these relationships. We are thankful for our faithful customers.”
