Print Page Email

UK-based crane hire company King Lifting has recently taken delivery of a new LTM 1230-5.1 mobile crane. A second will follow after it has made an appearance on the Liebherr stand at this year’s Vertikal Days trade show in Peterborough, UK, in September.

In addition, the company has taken delivery of an LTM 1130-5.1 and two LTM 1060-3.1 mobile cranes, with four more to be delivered over the coming months. All the cranes will be delivered with Tier 5 engines.

The five-axle LTM 1230-5.1 has an eight-section 75 metre main boom and an 11.5 to 20 metre bi-fold swingaway extension that can offset by up to 40 degrees. It comes with Liebherr’s VarioBallast, VarioBase Plus, Ecomode, and Ecodrive systems, plus remote controls, a winch, and a camera system on the boom tip.

Of the new arrivals from Liebherr, Dean Austin, general manager for cranes at King Lifting, said, “We are delighted to take delivery of our new cranes, especially the LTM 1230-5.1 with its market leading capacity class features such as VarioBase Plus. This further investment demonstrates King Lifting’s commitment to reducing carbon footprint whilst also supporting our valued clients by offering the most technically advanced cranes in the market, with the latest working-at-height safety features.”
