In honor of Bigge’s Centennial Year, Liebherr spoke about our trusted and long-standing partnership at a presentation with Weston Settlemier, Bigge President and CEO, along with the Bigge team. Standing in front of Liebherr’s powerful LR 1300 crawler (hyperlink LR1300 sales), Liebherr shared how Bigge influenced the design phase of the LR1300, and, in demonstrating Bigge’s trust with Liebherr, placed advanced orders on the crawler crane before the model was out in the market. Today, Bigge is honored to be recognized by Liebherr as the world’s largest LR 1300 crawler crane owner.
