Bedford, UK-headquartered crane hire specialist NMT Crane Hire has acquired two brand-new Liebherr LTM 1040-2.1 all-terrain mobile cranes.

The two-axle, 40-tonne capacity LTM 1040-2.1 has a four-section telescopic boom extending to 35 metres with hydro-mechanical telescoping capabilities that can operate under load. 

“The Liebherr LTM 1040-2.1 has established itself as the benchmark for two-axle all-terrain cranes, and these additions will allow us to continue delivering the reliable, professional service our customers have come to expect from NMT,” said JD Ambridge, joint managing director of NMT Crane Hire. “This investment represents our ongoing commitment to maintaining a modern, versatile fleet that meets the evolving demands of the construction, film and industrial sectors.” 

The acquisition follows a period of significant strategic investment for NMT Crane Hire. In recent months, the company has welcomed a Liebherr LTM 1300-6.2 mobile crane, representing a £2.3 million investment, and most recently added a state-of-the-art Spierings SK1265-AT6 eLift mobile tower crane to its expanding fleet. 

 “Our recent investments in the LTM 1300-6.2 and Spierings eLift demonstrate our commitment to offering cutting-edge lifting solutions across all capacity ranges – anywhere in the country,” added JD Ambridge. “Now with the addition of these LTM 1040-2.1 cranes, we’re ensuring our customers have access to the most reliable and efficient equipment available, whether they require precision lifts in confined spaces or heavy-lifting capability for major projects.” 

The LTM 1040-2.1’s compact two-axle design makes it suitable for urban construction sites and projects with restricted access, while maintaining lifting performance and mobility.
