Liebherr LTM 1055-3.3

The Liebherr LTM 1055-3.3 is a highly versatile 55-ton all-terrain crane that blends powerful lifting capability with outstanding road mobility and job site efficiency. As the lightest 3-axle crane in its class, the LTM 1055-3.3 was specifically engineered to meet the needs of contractors and fleet operators requiring maximum lifting performance while staying within strict road transport regulations. Its lightweight design enables efficient travel on public roads without the need for special permits, making it an ideal solution for fast-moving urban projects and infrastructure work.

At the heart of the crane is a 40-meter telescopic boom, designed using Liebherr’s hydro-mechanical extension system that allows for smooth and precise telescoping under load. This boom can be extended further using a 15-meter double folding jib and an optional 1.9-meter assembly jib, achieving a maximum hoisting height of around 54 meters and a working radius of approximately 46 meters. This impressive reach makes the LTM 1055-3.3 suitable for tasks ranging from building construction to equipment installation and plant maintenance. The boom and jib can be quickly reconfigured on site to adapt to various lifting scenarios, enhancing the crane’s operational flexibility.

The machine is mounted on a three-axle carrier with a 6x4x6 drive and steering configuration, delivering a top road speed of up to 85 km/h. Its compact dimensions and all-wheel steering make it particularly agile in tight spaces, while its high mobility reduces setup times and boosts productivity across multiple job sites. Powered by a high-performance diesel engine, the LTM 1055-3.3 provides sufficient torque and power for both travel and lifting operations, even under full load.

Equipped with Liebherr’s latest LICCON3 crane control system, the LTM 1055-3.3 offers advanced operational diagnostics, lifting data visualization, and programmable working range limits. The inclusion of VarioBase® Plus — Liebherr’s proprietary variable outrigger support system — enhances lifting capacity by allowing asymmetric outrigger positioning, especially useful in constrained environments. The crane can also be outfitted with RemoteDrive, enabling operators to maneuver the crane via remote control for better visibility and control during tight positioning.

Beyond its core specifications, the LTM 1055-3.3 prioritizes safety and ease of use. Integrated driver assistance systems such as blind spot detection and moving-off alerts support safer travel. Meanwhile, the ergonomic cab design, smooth suspension, and automated functions contribute to a more comfortable and efficient operator experience. Despite its three-axle configuration, the crane delivers lifting power comparable to some four-axle models, particularly at medium and long radii, further underscoring its capability.

In summary, the Liebherr LTM 1055-3.3 is a compact yet powerful all-terrain crane that excels in applications requiring strong lifting performance, rapid deployment, and high mobility. Its combination of lightweight design, advanced control systems, and adaptable lifting configurations makes it an indispensable machine for modern construction, utility, and industrial lifting operations.
