With the addition of a 7.0-metre boom insert, the crane achieve a maximum hoist height of 92 metres (working radius: 72 metres).

Other features include the LICCON3 control system, together with new driver assistance systems. According to Liebherr, the crane can travel with up to 29 tonnes of counterweight installed under UK STGO regulations.

Liam Clancy, MD at Emerson Crane Hire commented, “The LTM 1150-5.4 is an excellent addition to our fleet, fitting perfectly between our 110- and 230-tonne cranes.

“Its lifting capacity, reach and ability to carry substantial counterweight on the road will give us greater flexibility to match the right crane to each project and deliver an efficient service for our customers.”
