Franz Bracht KG was founded in 1964 by entrepreneur Franz Bracht as a towing company in Lippstadt, Germany. In 1965, Bracht acquired his first mobile crane, and three years later added further cranes. By 1971, the company purchased its first 100-tonne cranes, followed two years later by a Gottwald 250-tonne crane. During the following years, the fleet expanded and additional locations were opened in North Rhine-Westphalia. The company also established foreign branches, including a branch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which operated from 1978 to 1988, and another in Kuwait. These branches also handled projects in other countries. In 1991, the founder's son joined the company and took over in 2004 after the founder's death. As of recent years, Franz Bracht employs around 630 to 800 people and operates a fleet of approximately 1,100 vehicles, including about 240 mobile cranes with lifting capacities from 7 tonnes to 1,800 tonnes. Since October 2009, the company has owned a Liebherr LTM 11200/9.1 with a maximum lifting capacity of 1,200 tonnes.
