S.A.S Group expands Liebherr crane fleet with LTM 1300-6.3 and LTM 1100-5.3
- Two mobile cranes for Italian customer
- Simply convincing – 100-tonne narrow track crane and 300-tonne model with impressive hoist height
- The S.A.S Group’s fleet now contains more than 15 Liebherr cranes
The S.A.S Group has been a satisfied Liebherr customer for over twenty years. The latest additions to the Liguria-based customer, which has just expanded its Liebherr fleet with an LTM 1100-5.3 and an LTM 1300-6.3, once again include high quality and outstanding technical features.
The S.A.S. Group has expanded its Liebherr fleet with two mobile cranes – an LTM 1300-6.3 and an LTM 1100-5.3. Whilst the 300-tonne crane features compact dimensions and a large boom length, the 100-tonne model’s outstanding characteristics are its vehicle width and axle weight – both of which mean it can be moved between sites more quickly. Both cranes will be used in the petrochemicals, shipbuilding and chemical industries.
LTM 1100-5.3 – powerful lightweight with a narrow gauge
The LTM 1100-5.3 has a powerful 62 metre telescopic boom and can carry up to 16.9 tonnes of ballast on public roads with an axle load of just twelve tonnes. The consistent use of lightweight materials and sticking firmly to a vehicle width of just 2.55 metres means that the crane is economically mobile worldwide – it has an axle load of just nine tonnes and is flexible both on the road and on constricted sites. The crane features all the innovations from recent years, including VarioBallast®– and it is the second crane model with the new LICCON3 control.
LTM 1300-6.3 – 300-tonne crane delivering an enormous hoist height
A powerful fast-erecting crane, the LTM 1300-6.3 is the first 6-axle crane in the world to carry a 90-metre telescopic boom with an axle load of twelve tonnes. The chassis is particularly lightweight, which means that load-bearing parts have been reinforced and the boom extended. VarioBase®Plus ensures that a wide range of support options are possible. Other features, such as VarioBallast®, AutoBallast and Windspeed Load Charts round off the equipment package on the 300-tonne crane. Overall, they make it ideal for erecting tower cranes and servicing wind turbines. Thanks to its great compatibility with other Liebherr crane models, parts of the ballast, the detachable hook block and various lattice sections are interchangeable.
