Liebherr has taken buyer suggestions into consideration and can now supply a light-weight model of its 60-tonne LTR 1060 telescopic crawler crane within the type of the LTR 1040. 

As many tasks and tenders name for telescopic crawler cranes within the 40-tonne class, Liebherr has prolonged its telescopic crawler crane portfolio downwards. Contractors can improve the LTR 1040 to make it into an LTR 1060 retrospectively, if required.

The principle distinction to the LTR 1060 is the considerably decreased ballast – the LTR 1040 weighs in at a complete of 20 tonnes much less. 10 tonnes of central ballast have been taken off the chassis while an extra 10 tonnes of counterweights have been faraway from the slewing platform. 

This new crane mannequin’s 40-metre telescopic growth is round 30 p.c longer than the usual within the class. Because of this most crane jobs could be carried out with out a folding jib.

Lengthy, highly effective telescopic growth

Excessive lifting capacities are notably vital for assembling prefabricated parts, one of many fundamental areas of labor for telescopic crawler cranes. 

For instance, the LTR 1040 will hoist as much as 8.6 tonnes with a radius of 10 metres all through its complete 360° working vary. When it’s totally raised, the lifting capability of the 30.7 metre prolonged telescope is eighteen.8 tonnes and when totally prolonged, the 40-metre growth can hoist 10 tonnes. Utilizing a 16-metre double folding jib, the LTR 1040 can obtain a most hoist peak of 55 metres and may hoist a weight of three.1 tonnes on this configuration. 

Economical transport, quick set-up occasions

The LTR 1040 could be transported notably economically because it weighs simply 43.5 tonnes, together with its 5.6 tonnes of ballast. The axle hundreds for transport are lower than 10 tonnes for a 3-axle tractor unit and a 4-axle semi low loader. By eradicating 5 tonnes of ballast, the LTR 1040’s weight could be decreased to 38.5 tonnes, which implies it has a gross transport weight of lower than 60 tonnes.

The crawler journey gear is retracted to a width of three.0 metres for transport. The low crane peak of simply 3.15 metres ensures that economical customary semi-low loaders can be utilized.
