and the different configurations allow for maximum jib steps every 5 m. The luffing- jib crane, with its compact design and reduced out of service radius, is ideal for use in cities or congested building sites. Manitowoc will use the show to unveil its latest crawler crane, the Manitowoc MLC150-1. The new crane is one of six brand-new cranes that the company is showing this year, along with several others making their debuts. New standards in four-axle Delivering maximum performance on a four-axle mobile crane has been traditional at Liebherr for decades. For example, when

The Manitowoc MLC150-1 is designed to meet the needs of customers who desire a compact, manoeuvrable crawler crane with a strong load chart and easy transport.

the current LTM 1100-4.2 was launched in 2009, it set new standards in the four-axle class with a lifting capacity of 10,2 t on its 60 m telescopic boom. The new crane has added 18% to this value at the same length. The LTM

The MLC150-1 features a 150 t base capacity and a maximum boom length of 78 m

1120-4.1 can also extend its telescopic boom to up to 66 m, an

additional 10%. This means it reaches the same level of many 200 t mobile cranes on the market. The LTM 1120-4.1 delivers outstanding lifting capacity values, particularly with the boom fully raised. Its lifting capacity of 9 t on the 66 m telescopic boom makes it ideal for erecting tower cranes and radio masts. Lattice extensions enable the crane to achieve hook heights of up to 94 m and radii of up to 64 m. For this, a 7 m lattice boom extension is installed, as well as a 10,8 to 19 m double folding jib which, as an option, can also be adjusted hydraulically between 0° and 40°. A 2 m erection jib and a runner which can be swung to the side round off the equipment list. The new LTM 1120-4.1 can tackle jobs which normally would require a five- axle crane, eliminating all the logistics work needed for the larger model. Because a four-axle crane delivers benefits in terms of licensing and route permits, it can tackle jobs faster and with greater flexibility. The design of a four-axle crane also enables it to work where there is insufficient space for larger cranes. On constricted sites specifically, Liebherr’s VarioBallast and VarioBase innovations deliver enhanced performance, flexibility and safety for this new crane model. VarioBallast on the LTM 1120-4.1 enables the crane to operate with a ballast radius of 3,83 or 4,77 m. The ballast radius can be reduced
