LR 1500

Crawler crane

  • Simple and powerful

    The main hoist unit means the crane can move with all hoists up to its maximum lifting capacity.

  • Compact

    Lifting capacities of a 500 t / 550 US t crane with the dimensions of a 400 t / 440 US t crane.

  • Easy to transport

    All transport weights below 45 t / 99,200 lb and 3 m / 9' 10" width for global transport without restrictions.

  • Simple moving with a load

    The ballast trailer enables the crane to move with a load on the hook without any problems.

  • Easy to adjust

    The derrick radius can be adjusted from 9 m / 30 ft to 16 m / 53 ft.

  • Smart solutions

    Central ballast comprises a lower number of concrete sections for fast installation – the topmost section provides a safe walkway for the undercarriage.

LR 1500 - Powerful, smart, compact.

The LR 1500 crawler crane delivers the lifting capacities of the 500 tonne (550 USt) crawler crane class throughout its operating range whilst having the dimensions and component weights which have previously been normal in the 400 tonne (440 USt) class. It features compact dimensions and can be transported throughout the world without restrictions due to its components having a maximum weight of 45 t (99,200 lb) and a maximum width of 3 m (9 ft). The LR 1500 cannot just be transported easily and at low cost, but is also simple to set up and operate. Its powerful main hoist unit can handle all hoists up to the maximum lifting capacity. This means there is no need for a second winch in dual mode for heavyweight hoists.

Max. load capacity 500 t
Max. hoist height 164 m

Technology

VarioTray

Small ballast pallet for quickly removing a small part of the derrick ballast. Ideal if lots of ballast is required to erect the boom system but a smaller amount is required for the hoisting work. The VarioTray can be unpinned very quickly using just four pins.
