LTM 1500-8.1 - The most successful large crane of all time.

  • Powerful:

    The LTM 1500-8.1 has a maximum lifting capacity of 500 t, making it a real power package.

  • Variable - 50 or 84 m:

    Both telescopic boom lengths feature the Telematik automated telescoping system.

  • Mobile:

    Both on-road or off-road, the 8-axle crane impresses with its outstanding chassis technology.

  • Automated:

    The crane levels itself automatically during the support process.

  • Modular design:

    The counterweight frame consists of a basic frame and two winch packages, so that it is very compact and can be installed quickly.

LTM 1500-8.1

The LTM 1500-8.1 was first unveiled at the Bauma in Munich as long ago as 1998. Around 20 years later, in summer 2020, the 600th unit of the 8-axle crane was delivered. The most successful large crane of all time is ideal for a very wide range of jobs with its high lifting capacity, enormous reliability and mobility both on the road and at sites. It is used wherever heavy loads have to be hoisted quickly – industry, infrastructure, wind power or loading work. The successful giant will be replaced by the LTM 1650-8.1 as from 2020.
