New Liebherr mobile crane for KönningKrane

KönningKrane, which has its headquarters in Stadtlohn, Germany, has extended its fleet with the addition of a new Liebherr LTM 1150-5.4 mobile crane.

The five-axle, 150-tonne model slides into the range between the 100- and 180-tonne classes. It is suitable for a broad range of energy and infrastructure projects.

“With this new crane, we are expanding our fleet in a sensible way and creating additional flexibility for our customers,” explained managing director Johannes Bendfeld.

The telescopic boom has a reach of 66 metres, supported by nine tonnes of ballast. With an axle load of 12 tonnes, maximum vehicle weight is 60 tonnes.

The LTM 1150-5.4 includes a series of useful features, including VarioBase, AutoBallast and the new LICCON3 control system.

Safety features include ‘intelligent’ driver assistance systems such as the BSIS blindspot and turning assistant and the MOIS collision information system. There is also an LED lighting package, together with front and rear cameras.

“With this new 150-tonne crane, we are expanding our operational capabilities beyond our day-to-day business, particularly in infrastructure and concrete construction,” said Bendfeld.
