Liebherr LTM 1160-5.1

Design and Capabilities:

• Superior Lifting Power: The LTM 1160-5.1 boasts an impressive 62-meter telescopic boom, coupled with advanced TELEMATIK telescoping technology for rapid and precise boom extension. The crane’s lifting capacity is notably increased, capable of handling up to 11.5 tonnes at full boom length and employing a maximum counterweight of 46.5 tonnes to tackle heavy lifting tasks efficiently.
• Compact and Maneuverable: Despite its large capacity, the crane maintains a compact and manageable profile with a total length of 12.3 meters and a turning radius of just 10.6 meters. This compact design is enhanced by Liebherr’s active rear-axle steering, which allows all five axles to be steerable without needing to be raised, facilitating smooth and precise movements on tight job sites.

Technical Innovations and Enhancements:

• Engine and Drive System: Powered by a turbocharged six-cylinder Liebherr engine producing 503 HP, the LTM 1160-5.1 is equipped with a sophisticated drive system that includes a data bus control for optimal engine performance. The engine’s design ensures robust operation with reduced fuel consumption and adherence to stringent emission standards.
• Advanced Steering Capabilities: The crane features six steering programs that enhance its agility and operational flexibility, particularly beneficial in challenging environments where precise maneuvering is required.
• Safety and Operational Efficiency: Incorporating Liebherr’s LICCON computer system for precise control over winching, slewing, and luffing movements, the LTM 1160-5.1 enhances safety with features like automatic load sensing, variable displacement pump control, and an integrated LICCON work area limiting system to safeguard operations near obstacles.

Additional Equipment and Features:

• Jib Configurations: The crane supports multiple jib options, including a 12.2 to 22 meters folding fly jib, extendable up to 36 meters with additional inserts, providing flexibility for various lifting heights and radii. The jibs can be set at angles from 0 to 45 degrees, with options for hydraulic adjustment even under full load.
• Operational Convenience: The operator’s cab is designed for comfort and efficiency, featuring advanced ergonomics, climate control, and integrated safety systems that ensure operator comfort and focus during long hours of operation.

In summary, the Liebherr LTM 1160-5.1 is engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern lifting tasks, offering significant enhancements in lifting capacity, operational versatility, and safety. Its introduction marks a significant step forward in the mobile crane industry, providing powerful solutions for complex lifting challenges.
