The Betomix 2.5 RIM plant with a 2.5m³ mixer size was assembled in a gravel plant, just a few kilometres away from the Liebherr concrete technology production works in Bad Schussenried.
ESB used a brand new Liebherr LTM 1070-4.2 mobile crane for the initial assembly of the mixer and the erection of the feeder elevator.
Technical innovations such as VarioBase, ECOmode, new crane cabins, new one-piece steel wheel rims and the latest generation of disc brakes have been added to this new model.
ESB's new LTM 1070-4.2 is also fitted with a complete remote control system. All the crane movements can be controlled from outside the crane cabin. A clear view of the assembly situation and being close to the load means greater convenience for the crane driver and a better level of safety for crane operations.
Crane driver Detlef Scharnefski said: "The remote control is brilliant. I use it for around one third of my crane work. For difficult assembly jobs I can see everything and it makes communication with people on the site easier."
Liebherr mobile cranes with the LICCON2 controller have a Bluetooth terminal (BTT) as standard for the remote control of set-up work, such as extending the crane supports.
In addition to classic telescopic mobile cranes, ESB has compact cranes and truck-mounted telescopic cranes in its fleet.
