Dec. 23, 2023 - The newest rough terrain (RT) cranes from Liebherr are set to make their world debut in the field when the ALL Family of Companies takes delivery of the first five units through early next year.
According to ALL, the new Liebherr LRT 1130-2.1 has the strongest overall capacities of any RT in the 140-USt class, as well as the longest (197’) telescopic boom of any two-axle RT in the world.
ALL also says the LRT 1130-2.1 has the most transport-friendly dimensions in its capacity class, and can be carried on conventional low loaders anywhere in the world.
“ALL has a tradition of making history when it comes to high-capacity RTs,” said Brian Peretin, general manager, sales, of the mobile and crawler cranes division of Liebherr USA. “ALL purchased the very first units of our 90-ton and the 100-ton RT series when they were first released.”
Especially popular in the North American market, rough terrain cranes are always in high demand for petrochemical maintenance and construction, as well as serving as assist cranes and tailing cranes for wind energy assembly and repair. “Larger RTs have become a phenomenon in the past 10 to 15 years,” said Peretin. “They offer many of the same features as all terrain cranes, but with a smaller footprint, pick-and-carry capabilities, and a smaller cash outlay.”
Liebherr developed the LRT 1130-2.1 based on input from heavy RT users like ALL, who have a feel for what the market demands.
Designed to be transported easily and economically on low-loader trailers intact except for counterweights, the LRT 1130-2.1 weighs 98,750 lbs. without counterweights and measures just 46’8” long, 11’2” wide, and 12’7” high when stowed.
Its three-piece, 44,100-lb. counterweight consists of slabs weighing 17,650 lbs., 14,330 lbs., and 12,120 lbs. Liebherr’s AutoBallast feature completes the ballasting process automatically with the push of a button.
Other features include ECOmode, with saves fuel and reduces noise; VarioBase, which lets each outrigger to be extended to a different length in order to fit unique spaces; and WindSpeed load charts for safer operation in different wind speeds.
These first five units of the LRT 1130-2.1 are expected to be in high demand for applications that require strong capacities, a long boom, and the ability to fit into tight spaces.
