Crane and heavy haulage contractor Sven Jinert AB
took delivery of two new large cranes in mid-March
at the manufacturing plant in Ehingen. The Swedish
company is expanding its crane fleet with an LTM
1500-8.1 mobile crane and an LR 1750/2 crawler
crane. In terms of lifting capacity, this is the largest
crane delivery by Liebherr to Sweden in the
company’s history.
Sven Jinert, who founded the company 1988 as a
crane and work platform rental contractor, his son
Björn Jinert, CEO and Anders Oxwal, CFO decided
that they simply could not miss the opportunity to
take delivery of the new cranes in person in Ehingen.
The LTM 1750/2 is now the largest crane in the
company’s fleet. Björn Jinert explains: “The LR
1750/2 is a powerful, universal crane which we can
use for a whole range of jobs, for example in
industry, infrastructure projects, port handling and

wind power. We ordered it with a complete set of
equipment. The SX boom means that it can erect the
largest wind turbines in Sweden. That was an
important factor in reaching our decision.”
The LTM 1500-8.1 is the second crane of this model
in the Jinert fleet. Björn Jinert says: “We have had
plenty of good experience with the Liebherr 500-
tonne crane. It is the best crane in this class.” Jinert
has planned a wide range of applications for the LTM
1500-8.1, including maintenance and repair work on
wind turbines.
Sven Jinert AB has 18 branches in Sweden. Anders
Oxwal says: “We now have a 200-strong workforce
and generate a turnover of € 40 million per annum.”
Company founder Sven Jinert continues: “We have
had a very good working relationship with Liebherr
for 30 years. We can always rely on the service
provided by Liebherr partner Alfab. We now have
110 cranes including crawler cranes and mobile
construction cranes. 90% of them are from
Liebherr.” Jinert also operates 40 telescopic loaders
and a wide range of heavy haulage vehicles
including SPMTs. The company also provides
complete solutions for heavy haulage and crane
work.
