The same head section can be used for all boom systems. In addition, the boom-head adapter also serves as a reducing section in boom extensions. Even when attaching the vessel lifter, no additional components are required, since it is part of the luffing jib.
The weight of the basic machine can be reduced to 57t if the A-frame is removed. This option is available as standard and means that the crawler centre section and slewing platform can be transported as one, and a quick connection can be saved. One crawler carrier with 2m-wide track pads weighs less than 40t and can be transported economically on a 4-axle semi low-loader.
The LR 1600/2 is powered by a 6-cylinder Liebherr diesel engine. Six winches are available for use in operations. The two hoisting winches have a line pull of 180 kN with a 28-mm rope diameter. The sixth winch with 25-mm rope diameter is optimised for the use of whip lines.
