ATS relies on proven quality: new Liebherr LTM 1230-5.1 mobile crane modernises fleet

Technology, service and cost-effectiveness: the LTM 1230-5.1 strengthens the range of services in the 5-axle class
Special livery in Luxembourg’s national colours sends a strong message to mark the anniversary

The Luxembourg-based crane company ATS Cranes S.A. is modernising its fleet with a Liebherr LTM 1230-5.1. The powerful 230-tonne crane replaces an existing mobile crane and combines high lifting capacity with innovative technology and a striking design.

ATS Cranes S.A. has put a new Liebherr LTM 1230-5.1 mobile crane into service. The 5-axle crane replaces an LTM 1200-5.1 that is around ten years old, marking the next step in the further development of the fleet. “We compared various manufacturers and once again opted for Liebherr based on the overall package of quality, price and service,” says Managing Director Frédéric Kleinhans. “We were very satisfied with the previous model for many years – for us, the LTM 1230-5.1 is the logical next step.”

The new mobile crane offers a maximum lifting capacity of 230 tonnes and is equipped with a 75-metre-long telescopic boom, one of the longest in its class. A key feature of the 5-axle crane is its innovative VarioBase® system. This technology enables high lifting capacities even in confined spaces and provides additional performance reserves, particularly in the rear working area.

“The combination of a long telescopic boom and a double-folding jib significantly increases the crane’s flexibility. This enables us to carry out a wide variety of jobs – from traditional construction sites and industrial projects to assembly work – cost-effectively,” says Kleinhans.

The LTM 1230-5.1 fits seamlessly into the existing fleet of ATS Cranes S.A., which consists predominantly of Liebherr machines. A special feature: alongside technical performance, an emotional factor also played an important role in this investment. “To mark our upcoming 25th company anniversary, we opted for an eye-catching special paint scheme in the colours of the Luxembourg flag,” explains Kleinhans. “The colour scheme is a real highlight and has been extremely well received by our customers – even our competitors have congratulated us on it!”

With 14 state-of-the-art machines and a continuous focus on innovation and quality, ATS considers itself well-equipped to meet future market demands. The company has been active in the field of lifting technology and transport since 2002 and has extensive experience across a wide range of applications. With a total of 25 employees, the company operates round the clock.
