As an alternative to the 84m telescopic boom, the LTM 1500 can travel with a four-section, 50m compact boom. This allows the crane to be transported on roads with a 12t axle load limit without removing the boom. The 84m boom, on the other hand, has to be transported on a separate trailer. With the rigidly attached or pivoted lattice jib end section, lifting heights of up to 145m and working radii of up to 100m can be achieved. Increases of up to 250% in load capacity can be achieved by guying the boom.
The German company is also showing the 160 HC-L 8/16 luffing jib tower crane. The crane is equipped with variable frequency drives with continuous control only are used. The luffing jib cranes in the HC-L series boast pioneering technology in the form of a horizontal load path. This function can be switched on or off by the crane driver depending on requirements. When the function is in use, the control unit adjusts the hoist gear in such a way that the load hook is moved along a horizontal path. The joint movement of the jib and the hoist gear is also possible at any time.
