LTM® mobile cranes are ideal for travelling on public roads and for off-road use due to their all-terrain chassis. They feature safety, economy and comfort.
The powerful, long telescopic booms can reach great working heights quickly and easily. Flexibility is the highest priority for the equipment – the right crane for every job can be configured quickly using functional lattice extensions, folding jibs, fixed and luffing lattice jibs.
With a range of around 25 LTM® cranes, from a small two-axle to the large 9-axle model, we have the right crane to suit every requirement. We continue to work on developing our cranes all the time – VarioBase®, VarioBallast®, the LICCON crane control system and telematics are just some of the innovations from Ehingen – the location of the most modern crane production plant in the world.
With all our technological advances, we always try to ensure that the latest technologies can also be supplied for existing cranes and retrofitted.
VarioBase®
VarioBase® ensures safe operation in constricted working conditions. The maximum lifting capacities are calculated individually and precisely for every situation. This ensures safe working practice with any chosen support base.
Single-engine concept for large mobile cranes
New crane models with five or more axles feature an innovative drive concept: The superstructure is powered through a mechanical shaft by the engine in the undercarriage. This reduces the number of engines by one.
VarioBallast®
On some LTM models, the ballast radius can be changed quickly and easily using a simple adjustment – either mechanically or hydraulically, depending on the crane type. With the mechanical adjustment, it is quick and easy to switch between two different ballast radii.The hydraulic adjustment of the ballast radius is infinitely variable, making it suitable for an even wider range of uses. The small radius is very useful in constricted working environments. The mobile cranes achieve maximum lifting capacities with the large radius. This delivers flexibility which also quickly pays dividends during transport to the site.
The right jib for every job
All LTM mobile cranes have a powerful telescopic boom. This can be extended to different lengths as required. A wide range of jibs is available, such as a fixed jib, a mechanical folding jib, a double folding jib or a luffing jib – which significantly increases flexibility during use.
LICCON smart crane control system
We develop the software and hardware for the control system in-house. The heart of the system is the LICCON (Liebherr Computed Control) computer system. This forward-thinking control architecture enables it to adapt to the continually growing needs of the market. Liebherr specialists continuously work on developing the system.
Telescoping crane cabin
We can supply a telescoping crane cabin for selected models in the LTM series. This enhances safety significantly, even during hoisting work. It provides the crane operator with a great view of the load and the area around the crane during hoisting work.
Using the LTM 1150-5.3 as an example:
= Product series
= Lifting capacity in tonnes
= Number of axles
= Crane version
Modern VarioBase® and VarioBallast® technologies significantly increase flexibility, particularly in constricted site conditions.
We generally buy most of our new cranes with remote controls these days. It enables the crane operator to get out of the cab and get a much better view of the hoisting or installation process. It also benefits our customers as they do not have to provide as many personnel.
Martin Haug, Managing Director of Dieter Vogel GmbH, Reutlingen
Our objective is to supply the best fleet of cranes in North America. That is why we invest with Liebherr because their engineering excellence is a perfect match to the service we provide on customers’ sites. We select products which deliver maximum road compatibility, mobility and efficiency. Our partnership with Liebherr involves both machinery and personnel. Liebherr helps us to deliver the right package of values, such as lifting capacity and flexibility – and even more important, safety.
Michael l. Liptak, President & CEO of ALL, Cleveland / Ohio, USA
The new 450-tonne crane is not only very user-friendly for crane operators, moving around the machine is also safe and very straightforward due to its platforms, steps and railings. The thing is really good.
Denis Hedl, Crane Operator, Scholpp Kran & Transport GmbH, Stuttgart
We have had a very good working relationship with Liebherr for 30 years. We can always rely on the service provided by Liebherr. We now have 110 cranes, including crawler cranes and mobile construction cranes. 90% of them are from Liebherr.
Sven Jinert, founder of Sven Jinert AB, Sweden
We like the standard crane control system in small and large cranes alike. That enables us to use our operating personnel flexibly when we are short-handed.
Our all-Liebherr fleet enables us to benefit from synergies by bundling our costs for maintenance and repair work within the crane fleet. That significantly reduces both costs and downtimes.
Mario Henneberger, owner of Henneberger Schwerlast e.K., Themar
Supplying the world crane market out of Ehingen since 1969, Liebherr is today the leading manufacturer of all terrain cranes. With the biggest product portfolio of 40 different cranes on wheels or on crawler tracks, we are renowned for our top technical level and innovative crane concepts.
Setting standards in the industry, we are responsible for designing and building a whole host of new technical ideas – just like the rough terrain cranes, the latest distribution to our product portfolio.
Liebherr cranes are reliable. When you need service for our products, you can rely on our global service network of more than 80 own sites in 35 countries. That network is backed by 70 years of history dating to 1949.
More than 95 percent of spare parts are available within 24 hours. This means more uptime for your crane and making your job a lot easier.
