The LTM 1450-8.1 features a very long yet powerful 7-piece 85 metre (279 ft) telescopic boom. If greater height is required, a folding jib can be installed quickly, whilst a fixed jib or powerful luffing jib can also be attached. These are controlled using time-tested telematics technology. The 8-axle crane has been designed for worldwide cost-effective mobility and fast, easy setup on site. Our large fast-erecting crane is capable of travelling on public roads with a 12-tonne (26,450 lb) axle load carrying its complete telescopic boom, all its outriggers and the complete hoist winch. This enables it to be prepared for use very quickly once it reaches the site. With its time-testing technology such as the infinitely variable hydraulically adjustable VarioBallast®, VarioBase®, the single-engine concept or ECOmode and ECOdrive, makes this crane the state of the art in crane technology.
