Liebherr plant in Ehingen has been delivering the new compact crane, model LTC 1050-3.1 for the past one year. The innovative mobile crane with a lifting capacity of 50 tonne has proven extremely popular on the market and has positioned itself superbly. Around 60 machines of this type are now operating on building sites around the world. The main new features on this compact all-terrain crane, which is designed for use in industrial buildings and constricted areas, include the VarioBase? variable supporting base developed by Liebherr. But the heavy duty jib, hook traverse and the optional telescoping driver?s cabin have also proven to be valuable features in practice.
