The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 is a 35-tonne (35,000 kg) maximum lifting capacity, two-axle all-terrain mobile crane manufactured by Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH in Germany. Designed for mobile lifting applications requiring compact dimensions, manoeuvrability and flexible lifting configurations, the LTM 1030-2.1 is equipped with a 30-metre telescopic main boom and an optional double swing-away lattice jib extending up to 15 metres. The crane achieves a maximum lifting height of 44 metres and a maximum working radius of 40 metres, depending on its operating configuration. Its compact chassis, variable counterweight system and Liebherr LICCON2 electronic crane control technology make it suitable for general construction, industrial maintenance, machinery installation and operations where working space is restricted.

Telescopic Main Boom and Swing-Away Jib Configuration

The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 features a four-section telescopic main boom with a maximum extended length of 30 metres. The boom consists of a base section and three telescoping sections operated through a hydro-mechanical extension system. A double-acting hydraulic cylinder extends the first telescopic section, while a rope-operated mechanism controls the second and third sections. This system allows the boom to telescope under load and provides flexibility when positioning loads at different heights and radii. The boom’s oval cross-sectional profile contributes to lateral stability during lifting operations.

For additional lifting height and working reach, the LTM 1030-2.1 can be fitted with an 8.6 to 15-metre double swing-away lattice jib. The jib can be installed at offset angles of 0°, 20° and 40°, allowing operators to adapt the boom configuration to lifting requirements and overhead obstructions. With the boom and jib extension, the crane can achieve a maximum hook height of approximately 44 metres and a maximum working radius of 40 metres. Liebherr’s technical literature also specifies a lifting capacity of 8.3 tonnes at a lifting height of 30 metres under the applicable configuration. Actual lifting capacities depend on the boom length, working radius, counterweight, outrigger setup and manufacturer’s load charts.

Two-Axle Carrier Chassis and Mobility

The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 is mounted on a two-axle, all-wheel-drive mobile crane carrier designed for both road travel and construction-site manoeuvring. The carrier has a chassis length of approximately 8.53 metres, an overall vehicle length of approximately 10.15 metres and a width of 2.55 metres when fitted with 445/95 R 25 tyres. Its compact design provides access to construction sites, industrial facilities and confined areas where larger mobile cranes may have limited manoeuvring space.

The LTM 1030-2.1 has a minimum turning radius of approximately 6.56 metres and incorporates crab steering to improve manoeuvrability. The crane’s superstructure has a tailswing radius of 3.15 metres, limiting the clearance required during slewing operations. Its hydro-pneumatic Niveaumatik suspension features a suspension travel of +100 mm and -100 mm, supporting chassis stability and driving comfort. The carrier also incorporates pneumatic disc brakes, an anti-lock braking system and ASR traction control. An optional Telma eddy-current brake provides additional wear-free braking assistance.

Mercedes-Benz Diesel Engine and ZF Transmission

The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 is powered by a six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz turbocharged diesel engine developing 205 kW (278 hp) and a maximum torque of 1,100 Nm. The diesel engine provides propulsion for the two-axle carrier and supplies power for crane operations through a diesel-hydraulic drive system.

Engine power is transmitted through a ZF 6 WG 210 automatic powershift gearbox with six forward and two reverse gears. The transmission incorporates a torque converter and lock-up clutch, providing controlled low-speed driving and automatic gear selection. Both carrier axles are driven, improving traction and mobility on construction sites. Electronic engine management regulates engine operation during hydraulic crane activities to optimise fuel consumption according to operating demand.

Counterweight System and Transport Configuration

The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 offers variable counterweight configurations of 2.3 tonnes, 3.4 tonnes and 5.5 tonnes. The basic counterweight weighs 2.3 tonnes, with additional counterweight sections allowing the ballast arrangement to be increased according to lifting requirements. The maximum 5.5-tonne counterweight configuration has a width of approximately 2.31 metres.

In its 2.3-tonne counterweight configuration, the crane can travel with the double swing-away jib carried onboard at an approximate total vehicle weight of 24 tonnes, corresponding to an axle load of 12 tonnes per axle. This transport configuration reduces the need for separate transportation of the jib and basic ballast, subject to applicable road regulations. An optional counterweight mounting system using Liebherr’s keyhole technology enables counterweight installation and removal from the crane cab, simplifying crane preparation and dismantling.

Hydraulic Crane Drive, Hoisting and Slewing Performance

The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 uses a diesel-hydraulic crane drive powered by its carrier-mounted engine. Its hydraulic system incorporates electronically controlled load-sensing circuits, allowing up to four crane movements to be carried out simultaneously. This enables coordinated hoisting, luffing, telescoping and slewing, with proportional hydraulic control supporting precise load positioning.

The main hoist winch uses an integrated planetary gearbox and a spring-loaded multi-disc brake. According to Liebherr’s specifications, the hoist provides a line pull of 33 kN at the outer rope layer and a maximum rope speed of 120 metres per minute. The hoisting system is designed to provide controlled lifting and lowering of loads within the crane’s rated capacity.

The crane’s slewing mechanism incorporates a planetary gearbox and spring-loaded multi-disc brake, with a continuously adjustable slewing speed ranging from 0 to 2.4 revolutions per minute. The slewing system can operate in an open or hydraulically locked configuration, allowing the operator to adjust slewing characteristics for precise assembly work or repetitive lifting activities.

LICCON2 Electronic Crane Control and Safety Systems

The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 is equipped with the second-generation LICCON2 (Liebherr Computed Control) electronic crane control system. Developed by Liebherr, LICCON2 integrates crane monitoring, electronic control and diagnostic functions into a centralised operating system. It incorporates an electronic load moment limiter to monitor lifting conditions and crane utilisation.

The LICCON2 colour display provides operators with information about crane operating parameters, load conditions and warning messages. The system is connected through Liebherr’s proprietary data bus network, enabling communication between electronic control modules, sensors and actuators. Integrated diagnostic functions assist with fault identification and maintenance troubleshooting.

The crane is operated using multifunctional proportional joysticks and touch displays integrated into the operator’s armrests. An optional LICCON working area limiter allows the operator to establish restrictions for hook height, working radius, slewing movement and defined working boundaries. Liebherr’s LICCON work planner also supports computer-based lift planning, including the simulation of lifting configurations and working conditions.

Outrigger System and Bluetooth Remote Operation

The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 is fitted with fully hydraulic outriggers incorporating one-stage extendable beams and a support cylinder stroke of 570 mm. The outrigger system provides the support required for stationary lifting operations and includes an automatic levelling function.

The crane features Liebherr’s BTT Bluetooth terminal, a portable control and display unit that enables operators to manage outrigger deployment, engine starting and stopping, engine speed adjustment and crane levelling while standing outside the cab. The terminal includes an electronic inclination display and can optionally display outrigger support forces.

The BTT terminal also allows remote operation of selected crane functions during hook block attachment and removal. An optional wireless remote control system enables the operator to control all crane movements from outside the crane cab, providing flexibility when maintaining direct visual contact with the load and the surrounding working area.

Operator Cab, Comfort and Maintenance

The Liebherr LTM 1030-2.1 has separate driver and crane operator cabs designed to provide visibility, comfort and convenient access to operating controls. The carrier cab features an air-suspended driver’s seat with lumbar support, tinted safety glazing and electrically adjustable heated exterior mirrors. The crane operator’s cab incorporates an adjustable seat, heat and noise insulation, working floodlights and an engine-independent heating system.

For maintenance, the crane is equipped with a centralised lubrication system serving the slewing ring, boom bearings, luffing cylinder and winch bearings. The LICCON2 diagnostic system provides additional assistance by displaying fault codes and monitoring electronic components, supporting routine inspections and maintenance activities.
