If you are looking for cranes that are capable of handling extreme loads in all kinds of environments, then you’ll be glad to know that the team here at Top Gun Cranes is adding a new LTM 1300-6 Liebherr all-terrain crane to our fleet. It will become available through our crane rental services in 2024.
Let’s take a look at this impressive machine.
High Maximum Rated Capacity
The 300-tonne maximum rated capacity of the new LTM 1300-6.2 puts it in a higher echelon of mobile cranes. Generally, all-terrain mobile cranes have a lifting capacity ranging between 50 and 100 tonnes.
Having a 300-tonne capacity is a major boost, as it can handle the types of loads that regular cranes can’t.
Long Main Boom
Aside from its high maximum rated capacity, the main boom is an impressive 78 metres, which is notably longer than most other cranes. For context, the typical ultra crane might have a boom ranging from 40 to 60 metres on average.
This puts the LTM 1300-6.2 in the range of longer booms, allowing it to reach higher heights without the need for additional attachments.
Flexible Fly Jib Options
The LTM 1300-6.2 offers fixed fly jib options with hydraulic offsets up to 35 metres in length. Many cranes have fly jibs extending only between 10 and 25 metres, so the 35-metre option is fairly impressive.
It allows the crane to position loads in difficult-to-reach places and allows your crew to extend it over obstacles, which is extremely useful in urban construction projects and at other confined job sites.
Extensive Luffing Jib Capabilities
Up to 78 metres of luffing jib capabilities are made available through the LTM 1300-6.2. Luffing jibs often only extend between 30 and 60 metres, so putting a 78-metre luffing jib on the crane allows it to deal with projects that require extreme height and complex lifts.
All-Terrain Mobility
Other cranes usually require special equipment to move and might struggle on uneven ground, but this is not so for the LTM 1300-6.2. Its design makes it possible to deploy efficiently in the most diverse environmental conditions, making it an easy choice with reduced logistical challenges.
There’s even more to love about the LTM 1300-6.2. Contact us at Top Gun Cranes today to find out when this Liebherr all-terrain crane will be available and whether you can hire it for your next major project.
