Liebherr LTR 1150

The LTR 1150 offers a 50% increase in lifting capacity over the LTR 1100, providing substantial lifting capabilities in a compact design. It is engineered for both strength and ease of transport. The crane’s total weight with crawler tracks is 60 tonnes, and its transport width is 3.5 meters. Without the crawlers, the weight reduces to 38 tonnes and the width to 3 meters, streamlining logistics and deployment.

Advanced Technology: VarioBase System

A key innovation in the LTR 1150 is Liebherr’s VarioBase technology, which maximizes lifting capacity by dynamically adjusting to the track width and slewing angle. This system is particularly beneficial when operating with reduced track widths or lifting over the corners of the tracks. The crane offers track width settings at 3.5, 5.0, and 5.8 meters, optimizing stability and lifting capacity under various conditions.

Transport and Assembly

The LTR 1150 employs a hydraulic jacking system with four swiveling cylinders, facilitating the easy removal of the 11-tonne crawler frames for transport. This system allows for a trailer to be positioned directly under the crane chassis once the tracks are detached, mirroring the convenience found in the LTR 1100 model. The crane’s counterweight assembly is equally efficient, requiring just four lifts to mount the complete system, including two 11-tonne central slabs and the 41-tonne maximum slewing platform ballast.

Operational Flexibility

Liebherr has designed the LTR 1150 with comprehensive load charts that accommodate inclines up to 4 degrees and “WindSpeed Load Charts” that enable operation in wind speeds up to 15.6 meters per second. This flexibility ensures the crane’s performance in a wide range of environmental conditions, making it ideal for diverse lifting tasks.

Application in Renewable Energy

The LTR 1150 is particularly suited for supporting wind energy projects, providing essential pick and carry capabilities that are crucial for the installation and maintenance of turbines. Its heavy-duty capacity and mobility make it an invaluable asset in the renewable energy sector, where efficient, reliable lifting power is critical.

With its advanced features, robust capacity, and versatile applications, the Liebherr LTR 1150 telescopic crawler crane is a pivotal addition to Liebherr’s lineup. It embodies the company’s commitment to innovation and efficiency, providing a powerful tool for a variety of construction and industrial tasks.
