Mobile cranes

Мощный, надёжный

Munich (Germany), 28 January 2019 – Liebherr will unveil four new products from its Mobile Cranes Product Division at the Bauma event.

Two of the new cranes have already been presented at the 2018 customer days at the manufacturing plant in Ehingen – the 5-axle 230 tonne LTM 1230-5.1 mobile crane and the LR 1800-1.0 crawler crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 800 tonnes.

Long, powerful and versatile – that was Liebherr's description of its new LTM 1230-5.1 mobile crane at its customer days 2018 at the manufacturing plant in Ehingen. The highlights include the length and lifting capacity of the telescopic boom. Its predecessor, the LTM 1200-5.1, also had one of the longest telescopic booms in this crane class at 72 metres. The new 230-tonne crane not only delivers an extra 3 metres in length but also an average of 20 percent greater lifting capacity. In addition to a multi-functional folding jib, a 43 metre fixed jib is also available. Crane operators can use the LTM 1230-5.1 particularly safely and efficiently with Liebherr innovations VarioBase®, VarioBallast, ECOmode and ECOdrive.

The engineers at Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH placed the multi-award-winning VarioBase® support technology at the focus of the structural steel construction when creating the concept for the new crane. This meant that the new LTM crane is the first to have an asymmetrical support base – with the width being 7.4 metres at the front and 8.1 metres at the rear. VarioBase® means that it is now possible to generate particularly high lifting capacities, particularly at the rear working area over the 8.1 metre wide supports – calculated in real-time by the LICCON controller. This new digitalisation facility has a major influence on the structural steel technology and enhances the customer benefit in the form of lifting capacity increases. Liebherr calls the combination of the trapezoidal and the variable support base, “VarioBase Plus”.
