MK 88-4.1 – your advantages with BKL.
- Compact and manoeuvrable 4-axle crane for urban construction sites with limited space
- As a ‘taxi crane’, it is highly adaptable, quick to deploy and perfectly suited to short-term lifting tasks and multiple construction sites in a single day – without the need for additional transport or suchlike
- Variable boom angles to suit different operational requirements

A Liebherr MK 88 is ideal if you need a versatile mobile construction crane for demanding lifting tasks, such as:
- Commercial and industrial construction: For steel construction, hall construction or the installation of technical systems, the crane offers a long reach and precise load positioning.
- Timber construction and prefabricated component assembly: Prefabricated components can be lifted accurately and efficiently to their assembly location.
- Residential construction and building maintenance: In new-build and refurbishment projects, the MK 88 assists with the lifting and positioning of building materials and components – including in roof renovation work.
