Liebherr LTM 1055‑3.3

MANUFACTURING giant Liebherr has announced plans to present a diverse and application‑focused line‑up of machinery at ScotPlant 2026, offering visitors a practical overview of equipment operating across the UK in sectors including earthmoving, material handling, waste, recycling, and lifting.

A major highlight of the stand will be the UK’s first Liebherr LTM 1055‑3.3 telescopic mobile crane, recently purchased by long‑standing customer and fellow ScotPlant exhibitor Stoddart Crane Hire. Making its ScotPlant debut, the compact three‑axle crane is said to combine high lifting performance with excellent manoeuvrability and transport efficiency. Liebherr said its presence on the stand reflects the manufacturer’s continued investment in innovation and the strength of its long‑term partnerships with UK customers.

Lyle Sibbald, north sales manager for mobile cranes at Liebherr, said, “ScotPlant is an excellent opportunity for us to engage directly with customers in the lifting sector. Having the UK’s first LTM 1055‑3.3 on the stand is a real highlight, and we’re looking forward to discussing how Liebherr’s mobile crane range continues to deliver performance, flexibility, and reliability for a wide range of lifting applications.”

Liebherr will also present a selection of customer‑owned machines, showcasing real‑world specifications and working configurations currently operating across the UK. On display will be an A 918 G8 Compact wheeled excavator from Alan Gow Contracts Ltd, fitted with a Steelwrist tiltrotator. Rounding out the customer machines is an L 556 wheel loader from James Jones, finished in the company’s distinctive green livery.

Mark Gorrie, area sales manager for earthmoving and material handling equipment, Scotland, added, “ScotPlant has always been an important event for Liebherr, and we’ve never missed it. I’ve been with Liebherr for many years, and the show continues to be a great opportunity to catch up with long‑standing customers, as well as meet new ones. We’re really looking forward to welcoming visitors to the stand over the two days and discussing how Liebherr equipment can support their operations.”

Alongside customer machines, Liebherr will showcase a selection of equipment highlighting the breadth of its offering. This includes an R 914 Compact excavator, complete with quick hitch, buckets, and a Leica machine control system. A PR 726 LGP crawler dozer from Liebherr’s used equipment division will demonstrate the quality, condition, and preparation standards applied to Liebherr‑approved used machines, reinforcing confidence in used equipment as a reliable solution.

Material handling will be represented by an LH 40 M material handler fitted with a GMM50 scrap grab, while an LH 18 M waste‑specification material handler and a TA 230 articulated dump truck will highlight the flexibility of Liebherr’s rental division for short and long‑term requirements.

Throughout the event, local area sales managers, along with specialist representatives from Liebherr’s used equipment, rental, and aftersales divisions, will be available on the stand to discuss machinery options, service support, and operational requirements.
