Força has the most modern crane fleet both in the Dominican Republic and also in the whole of the Caribbean. Força decided to purchase used mobile cranes as a lower cost alternative to buying new ones. The company chose Liebherr. Company owner Jhon Modesto explains: “We can buy used cranes from Liebherr which have been inspected carefully and are in perfect condition or have been repaired by Liebherr. Nobody else offers the same service. Normally, we would have to buy used machines as-seen from the USA. But we have to accept that there is a high level of uncertainty about the technical condition the machines.”

The package bought by the company included two LTM 1130-5.1 cranes, an LTM 1200-5.1 and an LTM 1220-5.2. They had been factory-refurbished by Liebherr and some of them had even been repainted. The main areas of use in the Dominican Republic include service and expansion work at electricity plants, work in the mining industry and port expansion projects.
