The Liebherr manufacturing unit in Ehingen, Germany, has up to date its product vary and launched the world´s strongest 6-axle crane: the brand new LTM 1400-6.1 has a 70-metre telescopic increase and is characterised by intelligent and easy set-up processes. The brand new crane is the successor to the confirmed and profitable LTM 1350-6.1.
Like its predecessor, the LTM 1400-6.1 is now the smallest crane with Y-guying, making it the right introduction to this increase know-how with its huge enhance in lifting capability. The brand new all-rounder is extraordinarily versatile and economical due to a variety of equipment, a extremely purposeful modular increase equipment and the acquainted Liebherr applied sciences. It additionally options driver help programs that enhance the protection of everybody on the highway.
Liebherr´s engineers have succeeded in getting essentially the most out of a 6-axle crane throughout the product improvement course of. The LTM 1400-6.1 achieves considerably greater lifting capacities than its predecessor, the LTM 1350-6.1, and is now the market chief worldwide. By efficiently integrating its newest engineering experience and revolutionary programs into this cellular crane, Liebherr has created a particularly highly effective but easy-to-handle machine.
Along with reaching excellent efficiency knowledge, Liebherr has centered on easy and quick set-up processes throughout improvement of the brand new crane. Your entire workflow main as much as full operational readiness on the development web site has been designed with most simplicity in thoughts. There are main variations to the predecessor mannequin, the LTM 1350-6.1, notably when it comes to the meeting course of for the Y-guying system.
With only one self-assembly raise, the LTM 1400-6.1 locations the guying system on the chassis, the place it’s then pinned in place. The hydraulic fast coupling closes routinely when the increase is luffed down between the 2 Y-frames. {The electrical} connection is established with one closing motion and the telescopic increase with Y-guying is prepared to be used in just some minutes.
Numerous lattice jibs allow the brand new crane to work effectively in a variety of purposes. The mounted lattice jib extends the telescopic increase by as much as 45.5 metres and will be mounted at an angle of 0°, 10°, 20° and 40°. As an choice, the mounted jib will be adjusted between 0° and 40°. The luffing lattice jib, with a size starting from 14 to 80.5 metres, delivers most top, radius and efficiency.
As with its predecessor, the whole obtainable ballast for the brand new LTM 1400-6.1 consists of 100 tonnes of primary ballast and 40 tonnes of extra ballast. The hydraulic ballasting system is built-in within the counterweight body – ballast meeting is easy, fast and doesn’t require an auxiliary crane. The VarioBallast® system is basically completely different to the one discovered on the predecessor mannequin. The 140 tonnes of whole ballast can now be set to an infinite radius of seven.7 metres to attain the utmost lifting capability. In confined areas, the ballast radius will be decreased to five.6 metres. The counterweight plates are suitable with these discovered on different massive Liebherr cranes – a significant benefit for the crane operator when it comes to each financial system and logistics.
The variable VarioBase® supporting system ensures extra versatility. Right here too, Liebherr engineers have give you a brand new improvement: along with the choice of flexibly utilizing the predefined assist positions with pinning choices of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, the sliding beams can now even be freely prolonged between 0% and 50%. Till now, this was solely potential on cellular cranes with as much as 5 axles.
