Liebherr MK 88 - Manual (Page 7)

MK 80 cab,” says the MSG
employee on this sunny
spring day at the end of
March. My air-conditioned
cab in the MK 88 is really an
enormous advantage.”
On the whole, the compar-
ison test between the MK 80
and MK 88 showed that the
MK 88 is the more modern
and also more comfortable
crane of the two in all areas –
from the undercarriage pow-
er train, through the erection
process, to the crane deploy-
ment. Where manual work
was needed on the predeces-
sor, with the MK 88 much
has been automated and im-
proved in terms of handling –
in short, a new MK genera-
tion.
Finally, Felix Bildstein has
a word of praise for the
Liebherr service. When he had
a problem with his crane dur-
ing a job, the Liebherr serv-
ice number was busy. But less
than 3 minutes later the crane
driver received a call back
on his mobile phone. And
thanks to the phone support,
the problem was also resolved
within a few minutes – that’s
service for you.

Here, too, the generation difference is obvious,
as the modern radio controls have a data
feedback display.
Nice to see: While the MK 88 takes the bend
easily thanks to the active rear-axle steering,
the rear axles on the MK 80 are rigid. 
