Crane control system

Upcoming Intermat in Paris will see the presentation of the new 350 tons telescopic crane from Liebherr. The new 6-axle mobile crane is equipped with 70 meters of telescopic boom, which is 10 meters more than its forerunner, the LTM 1300-6.1. Optional available is a luffing jib which increases the maximum lifting height up to 132 meters, what predestines the LTM 1350-6.1 for instance for the assembly of tower cranes. According to Liebherr, the available Y-suspension doubles the load capacities in some working ranges, which means that the 6-axle crane can be used for jobs which are usually done by 7- or 8-axle telescopic cranes.

The carrier is driven by a Liebherr made V8-dieselmotor with 450 kW. The power is transmitted by an automated 12speed TC-Tronic gearbox from ZF. The Powerunit in the upperstructure offers 180 kW. The crane control system used in the LTM 1350-6.1 is a LICCON 2. The available mobile bluetooth terminal can be used in order to position the crane on its supports. The driver can attach and detach the hook block at the bumper by remote control of the movements of the winch and the telescopic boom luffing ram. The counterweight with a maximum of 140 tons as well as the Y-suspension can be attached by  remote control. For the mounting of the Y-suspension no spupporting crane is needed, as already known from the LTM 1400-7.1.
