Liebherr has expanded its range of telescopic crawler cranes with a 150-tonne capacity machine – the LTR 1150.
Positioned between the LTR 1100 and the LTR 1220 in the company’s line-up, the crane offers around 50 percent more lifting capacity than the LTR 1100 and can be transported just as easily and economically as its 100-tonne sibling. It can be transported with crawler carriers at a total weight of 60 tonnes and a transport width of 3.5 m, or optionally without crawler carriers at a total weight of just 38 tonnes and a width of only 3 m.
The LTR 1150 is also the first telescopic crawler crane to be equipped with the Liebherr VarioBase, which determines the optimum load capacity in real time depending on the fixed track width and the variable rotation angle.
The new LTR 1150, Liebherr said, is ideal for auxiliary tasks in the assembly of wind turbines. It is capable of assembling crawler cranes up to the 1,000-tonne class and can move components weighing over 60 tonnes. Wind turbine components such as nacelles and hubs are in a similar weight range. As well as unloading these parts from the transport vehicles, the LTR 1150 can also drive them around the construction site without any load restrictions.
