The Liebherr LR 1400.1 SX crawler crane is an ideal solution for Maxim’s heavy lifting operations offering long boom configurations as the load capacities can be increased through the derrick equipment and counter weight. The precise adjustment of the counter weight with VarioTray, along with the position monitoring, ensures safe and flexible crane operation on all job sites.
As a multipurpose crane, the LR 1400.1 SX can be used across a variety of industries Maxim supports, including infrastructure, commercial, or industrial applications. Additionally, the Crane Planner 2.0 lift planning software can also be used throughout any heavy lift project, providing Maxim simulations of the ideal boom configurations for the respective job site.
