Liebherr LTM 1030/2

The LTM 1030/2 was designed with a strong emphasis on maneuverability, ease of transport, and versatility for a wide range of lifting applications. It features a 4-section telescopic boom that extends from 9.2 meters to 30 meters and can be combined with an 8.6–15 meter biparted swing-away jib. When fully configured, the crane offers a maximum hook height of 45 meters and a working radius up to 40 meters.

Its high-performance carrier is powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM 906 LA water-cooled, 6-cylinder inline diesel engine delivering 205 kW (278 HP), meeting Euro II emission standards. Paired with a ZF 6 WG 210 power-shift transmission, the crane supports six forward and two reverse gears with a rough-terrain ratio. The crane reaches a top travel speed of 80 km/h and boasts an impressive maximum gradeability of 60%.

The LICCON crane control system enhances safety and operability with real-time load monitoring, configuration feedback, and integrated test and servicing diagnostics. The hydraulic system, incorporating a Liebherr axial piston variable displacement pump, allows for precise multi-function operation through a load-sensing control strategy. This setup ensures energy-efficient operation and smooth load handling, particularly advantageous in delicate lifting scenarios.

The crane sits on a two-axle all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering chassis, with a minimum turning radius of 5.9 meters and two optional tire sizes: 14.00 R25 or 16.00 R25. Its compact dimensions—overall length of 10.3 meters and a height of only 2.95 meters (with lowered suspension and no upper cab)—enable it to access tight job sites. The “Niveaumatik” hydropneumatic suspension system not only offers ride comfort but also auto-levels the vehicle and adjusts for slope negotiation.

Supporting structure includes a weight-optimized steel frame, built from high-tensile STE 960 material. The LTM 1030/2 carries 24 tonnes total weight, including a 2.5-ton counterweight, 15 m swing-away jib, and 21.7 t hook block—all within a 2 x 12 t axle load limit. Additional counterweight options include a 5.5-ton configuration for heavier lifting performance.

Comfort and control are further enhanced by its ergonomic crane and driver’s cabs, with integrated heating, adjustable operator seating, panoramic visibility, and intuitive control consoles. Outriggers provide variable support widths and leveling options for safe lifting in uneven terrain.

The Liebherr LTM 1030/2 represents a class-leading balance between mobility, lifting performance, and precision control, making it an excellent choice for construction, utility, and industrial lifting needs.
