capacity are achieved when
performing lifts over the corners of the tracks, especially with reduced track widths. The maximum track width of 5.8 metres, a reduced width of 5.0 metres, and a narrow 3.5-metre track width are available. As with the other Liebherr LTR cranes, the LTR 1150 is equipped with load charts for slopes up to a maximum of 4° – in gradations of 0.3°, 0.7°, 1.5°, 2.5° and 4°. For the first time for its telescopic crawler cranes Liebherr has also calculated ‘WindSpeed Load Charts’ for the LTR 1150, which make it possible to work safely and flexibly at higher permissible wind speeds of up to 15.6 m/s – and this is the case even with the full load capacity in many boom positions. Liebherr believes the LTR
1150’s performance and pick and carry characteristics mean it will particularly appeal to users in the wind farm erection and construction industries. It is capable of assembling crawler cranes up to the 1,000-tonne class and can move components weighing over 60 tonnes. Its short, powerful erection jib and additional hoist gear mean the LTR 1150 can move loads of up to 34.6 tonnes into position. The range of working

equipment for the 52-metre telescopic boom also includes a hydraulically adjustable double folding jib and telescopic boom extensions that enable hoisting heights of up to 83 metres.

SHOW ‘N’ SHINE Tadano has been building telescopic boom crawler cranes for more than 40 years. Its GTC range has models from 35 tonne to 200 tonne capacity class. Versatility is one of the virtues of the teleboom. Set-up is simple – no on-site assembly of a lattice boom is needed; the machine simply arrives at the worksite with its boom in place. “That simple setup and configuration gives advantages over lattice booms, especially for road construction and bridge work,” says Julie Fuller, president and COO of Tadano Mantis Corporation, Tadano’s North American division, speaking at last year’s ConExpo tradeshow in Las Vegas – where Tadano had no less than three telecrawlers on display (GTC 1300 / GTC 1600 / GTC 2000). “The product line also offers pick and carry over

the entire load chart, which offers versatility for unique job site challenges,” Fuller says. Like we saw with the latest
Kobelco crane earlier in this article, Tadano also identifies foundation work as being a key application area for its telecrawlers. “We offer many unique features to support foundation work including a third winch with controlled free fall power pack mounting and factory approved use of foundation tools,” Fuller adds. “Tadano’s GTC models have strong out of level capabilities including market-leading four degree out of level charts.” On the other side of the Las
Vegas showground at ConExpo 2023 Link-Belt displayed its 55 ton (51 tonne) TCC 550 – which had been bought by the ALL Family of Companies. Billed as ‘the future of how tough jobs get done’ the crane, which launched in 2021, has a four-section 36.8–115 ft full power boom and an optional two-piece lattice fly for a maximum 172 ft of tip height. It can be transported in one load under 100,000 lbs (45,359 tonnes)
