en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK rental company Southern Cranes & Access has taken delivery of two Liebherr all-terrain cranes, including a 150-tonne-class LTM 1150-5.3 and a 300-tonne-class LTM 1300-6.4.

The six-axle LTM 1300-6.4 was updated in May 2024, featuring an eight-section 90-meter main boom topped with an 11.5 to 20-meter double-fold swing-away extension, with two 7-meter inserts available between the boom head and the swing-away, achieving a maximum tip height of 121 meters. This model also comes with the Variobase Plus outrigger setting system, providing a maximum rear outrigger spread of up to 9.4 meters, and is equipped with the AutoBallast system.

The five-axle LTM 1150-5.3 features a 66-meter seven-section main boom, along with a 10.8 to 19-meter double-fold swing-away extension that can be hydraulically offset by up to 40 degrees. A 7-meter insert can be fitted between the boom head and the extension, bringing the maximum tip height to nearly 95 meters and a maximum working radius of 72 meters. The crane has already been put to work on a project in London, assisting with spot-lift installations for the 75th anniversary celebrations of the Southbank Centre on the Thames.

Kelvin Prince, director of Southern Cranes & Access, said the addition of these two Liebherr cranes represents a significant investment in the company's continued growth. The LTM 1150-5.3 and LTM 1300-6.4 provide greater lifting capacity, working radius, and versatility, enabling the company to meet the increasingly complex demands of customers in London and the south of England.
