COVER STORY

The new Liebherr LRT 1130-2.1 is now the world’s most powerful all-terrain crane on two axles.

Liebherr expands its rough-terrain crane range with the LRT 1130-2.1

Liebherr has launched the most powerful rough-terrain crane on two axles on the market. The LRT 1130-2.1 has a maximum lifting capacity of 130 tonnes and extends Liebherr’s range of rough-terrain cranes at the top end of this segment.

L iebherr presents the 130-tonne rough-terrain crane under the slogan “The toughest in the roughest”. The new LRT 1130-2.1 offers the highest lifting capacities and the longest telescopic boom of any 2-axle rough-terrain crane globally. It also has the most economical transport dimensions in its performance class. Long telescopic boom The essence of the LRT 1130-2.1 is maximum performance with economical mobility worldwide. The new Liebherr rough-terrain crane is the only 130-tonne crane on a 2-axle chassis. At the same time, its telescopic boom is the longest in its class at 60 m. It consists of the pivot section and six telescopic sections and is extended and bolted automatically with the Liebherr TELEMATIK high-speed telescopic system. A 10.8 m single folding jib or a 10.8 –19 m double folding jib is available for the LRT 1130-2.1. It is mounted at angles of 0°, 20° or 40° or can be hydraulically tilted from 0° to 40°. With an additional 7 m lattice section as a telescopic extension, this new crane reaches hook heights of up to 85 m. The folding jib is carried on the right-hand side of the boom. At the same time, a 2.9 m assembly jib can be attached to

the left-hand side of the boom. A side-folding rooster sheave, operated in 2-line mode, rounds off the boom options. Economical transport Liebherr has designed the dimensions of the new LRT 1130-2.1 to transport it economically on low-loaders worldwide. Its width is 3.4 m, its height is 3.85 m, and its chassis length is 9.4 m. The transport weight is 48 t without ballast but with the folding jib and hook block. This can be reduced to 44.8 t. These values are unique in the class of powerful 2-axle all-terrain cranes. A permit-free standard transport vehicle is sufficient for the 20 t ballast and additional equipment. The counterweight comprises three ballast slabs attached to the slewing platform via self-assembly with ballasting rams. Safety first High safety levels in every respect were the main priority for designing the new LRT 1130-2.1, which features an outrigger monitoring system as standard. The outrigger status on tires or supports is detected automatically and saved to the crane controller. The attachment of the ballast to the slewing platform and the installation of the optional double folding jib, including its angle adjustment system, are also recorded and monitored.
