The advantages of telescopic cranes are short set-up times, easier transportation, and the variability of the boom and jib system. The telescopic boom extends automatically and quickly to the required length. The six-section, telescopic boom can be extended with a swing-away jib measuring between 35.4 feet and 62.3 feet. Two lattice sections measuring 23 feet each are also available and can be fitted between the telescopic boom and the swing-away jib in order to increase the pining point of the jib, which can be luffed at up to 40°. The swing-away jib is also optionally available with hydraulics. The jib can be luffed between 0° and 40° under a full load. The
The unit is driven by a Liebherr four-cylinder diesel engine, which has an output of 149 kW/202 hp at 1800 rpm and a torque of 891 Nm at 1150 rpm. The winches afford a high rope tension of 88 kN, thereby ensuring fast work cycles.
The crawler chassis is telescoped hydraulically to a width of 16.6 feet. The crawler tracks have a width of 900 mm and are fitted as standard with triple grouser track pads. Flat track pads are also optional. Two suspended blocks weighing 7.5 tons each are secured to the crawler center section as a central ballast. The maximum ballast on the superstructure is 32.3 tons.
The crane cabin can be tilted backwards up to 20°. The LICCON monitor in the dashboard is the visible module of the LICCON computer system which, as in Liebherr's LTM cranes, is responsible for comprehensive control, information, and monitoring functions. Many popular options such as air conditioning, CD/radio, and lights are also available.
