CRANES - TOWER & MOBILE
INTERACTION date we have sold 2 no’s in India in The key feature of the 9-axle LTM

1750-9.1 is that, it can carry its entire telescopic boom on public
roads. Its high load capacities and variable boom Systems enable
it to cover a wide range of uses. In terms of its construction, this
Liebherr make 800T capacity All Terrain mobile crane is designed
for particularly short set-up times. The lifting capacity 800T @3m
working radius with 52m main boom and 91m strong luffing jib
makes the crane the best in the world in 800T capacity class.

Please provide details on your emphasis on technology – features
like intelligent crane control systems and digital platforms imbibed
in your cranes and innovations? What are the advancements you
have introduced or plan to introduce?
All Terrain cranes are the new innovations being developed
worldwide by all reputed Crane manufacturers in last few years.
Rough Terrain Cranes are suitable for only on rough terrain operation,
cannot move on road. Special concrete roads having high load

construction sites are not with even terrain in such cases All Terrain other. The Crane system is able to calculate the relevant capacity
Cranes are best suited i.e. Suitable for both off road and on road according to each arbitrary outrigger position, which should be
