speed load charts. The LTM 1300-6.2 will remain in the portfolio as the entry point model into the class of luffing jib cranes. Liebherr has extended its portfolio of all terrain cranes with another 300-tonne model. With its 90 metre telescopic boom, the LTM 1300-6.3 sets new standards in the six-axle class and goes well beyond what the current cranes on the market have to offer. It is designed to be used as a fasterecting crane with a high capacity at great hoist heights with a raised boom. That makes it ideal for erecting tower cranes and antennae as well as for wind turbine maintenance work. The LTM 1300-6.2 with 78 metre telescopic boom, offered by Liebherr in parallel, is the economical entry into the luffing jib class and in this configuration already offers unrivalled load capacities for a six-axle mobile crane. Liebherr has made it possible to drive the LTM 1300-6.3 with different axle loads and gross weights, to ensure that
it can be driven economically all over the world. Components such as the telescopic boom and outriggers can be installed and removed quickly and easily to achieve axle loads of less than 12 tonnes. One particularly interesting feature in this respect is tele-separation, which enables individual telescopic sections to be removed particularly quickly. This makes it straightforward to set up the crane for the road with a gross weight of less than 60 tonnes and axle loads of under 10 tonnes. Liebherr can also deliver a self-assembly solution that enables the telescopic sections to be removed without the need for an auxiliary crane. This is compatible with other models such as the LTM 1650-8.1 and the LTM 1450-8.1. The flexibility and economy of the crane is increased enormously as a result.
