ATS Crane receives new five-axle Liebherr

Luxembourg-based ATS Cranes has taken delivery of a new Liebherr LTM 1230-5.1 wheeled mobile telescopic crane.

To modernise the company fleet the new acquisition replaces a ten-year old LTM 1200-5.1 to deliver high lift capacity with innovative tech features.

The five-axle crane offers a lifting capacity of 230 tonnes. Its telescopic boom is claimed as the longest in its class. In addition, the LTM 1230-5.1 uses the VarioBase system which supports high lifting capacities even in confined spaces.

Late-model benefits

“The combination of a long telescopic boom and a double-folding jib significantly increases the crane’s flexibility. This enables us to carry out a wide variety of jobs, from traditional construction sites and industrial projects to assembly work, cost-effectively,” said Frédéric Kleinhans, ATS managing director.

Having been in operation since 2002, ATS Crane is approaching its 25th anniversary. As part of the celebration, the new mobile crane was finished in the colours of the Luxembourg flag.

Kleinhans said the colour scheme was very well received, with even the company’s competitors offering congratulations.
