Crane operator Haslach immediately used the five-axle crane, with a telescopic boom measuring 72 m, the most powerful unit in the company's fleet, to lift a 35 m long wooden bridge into place on the shore of Lake Lech to complete a cycle and hiking track that runs for some 10 km around the lake in Austria.
The LTM 1200-5.1 mobile crane has five steering programmes, which can be easily selected at the push of a button, allowing activity such as crab steering, or producing an extremely small turning circle for very confined construction sites. Liebherr says the 72 m telescopic boom is the longest on a five-axle mobile crane currently available.
