A system exhibit comprising a roller bearing slewing ring and swivelling drive is also presented by way of a sample application in the mining area.

LTR 1100 telescopic crawler crane

The LTR 1100 combines the advantages of a telescopic crane with those of a crawler crane. This makes the product very suitable for operations on mine sites, because the crawler travel gear delivers excellent off-road handling and maneuverability. Additionally, the crane can move loads with great precision. The advantages of a telescopic crane include; shorter set-up times, simpler transport and the variability of its boom system. The LTR 1100 features a telescopic boom of 171 ft. (52 m) and reaches lifting heights of up to 272 ft. (83 m) and a radius of up to 195 ft. (60 m) with lattice boom jibs.
