Customers often want high hoisting capacities but at the same time there is very little space on site for manoeuvring and erecting the crane. The modern LTM 1060-3.1 mobile crane is the most powerful 3-axle model on the market and can achieve hoist heights of up to 63 m with its 48-m telescopic boom and double folding jib.

?The crane is really very good in chemical plants in particular?, says Jrgen Beck, Logistics Manager at Wasel in Duisburg, who is responsible for the new machine. ?The 60-tonner can be used for a whole host of applications as a result of the very strong and long mast. And often in very constricted refineries what it needs is something that is small, compact but powerful.?

The LTM 1060-3.1 is an addition to the Liebherr 3-axle product range and features an exceptionally long telescopic boom measuring 48 m. It is the most powerful 3-axle mobile crane on the market. The crane features a special ballast plate configuration to enable it to handle a very wide range of driving conditions particularly with an axle load of 12 t. Disc brakes, speed-dependent rear axle steering and the modern Liebherr LICCON2 control ensure that this new 60-tonne model is both economical and safe.
