Comlev, a subsidiary of Alkaline, has purchased a new Liebherr LTM 1120-4.1 due to its mobility, flexibility and compact dimensions.
“With a compact four-axle machine like the LTM 1120-4.1, we will have easier access to urban construction sites moving forward,” said Karine and Laurent Lucas, managing owners of Comlev. With a lifting capacity of 120 tonnes, the crane also offers higher lifting capacities and a larger working area when its support base is at the maximum setting. Weighing just 48 tonnes, the LTM 1120-4.1 also has an axle load of 12 tonnes.
“This means it can tackle jobs which would normally require a five-axle crane, with all the logistics work that involves. All in all, the LTM 1120-4.1 gives us more flexibility and lower transport costs,” said Karine Lucas.
The LTM 1120-4.1 has a mechanically adjustable VarioBallast which allows the counter ballast radius to be reduced from 4.77 m to 3.83 m. It is also equipped with VarioBase technology, which increases safety during crane operations, especially in confined spaces.
The LTM 1120-4.1 can reach a lifting height of 64 m in an upright position, due to its 66-m telescopic boom. In addition, the mobile crane is equipped with the Telematik fast-cycle telescoping system to quickly and automatically raise the boom to the required length.
