Bronzeshield’s LTM 1500-8.1 has been delivered as a top specification model, with numerous optional extras. The LTM 1500-8.1 has been supplied as an eight-axle, 500 tonner, with the option of a four-section, 50m-long boom or a seven-section, 84m-long boom. It has a Y-boom guying system; a 63m fixed lattice fly jib mountable at 0° or 20°; and a 91m luffing fly jib mountable at inclinations of 83°, 75° or 67°.

With the 14m lattice boom extension and maximum fly jib, the LTM 1500-8.1 can have an under hook height of 145m and lift 3.5t at 108m.

“The 200t capacity LTM 1200-5.1 we’ve also just ordered will add considerable muscle to our growing heavy lift fleet and we are confident that this new addition will fulfil all our expectations,” said Bill Frost, managing director at Bronzeshield.
