Crane manual Liebherr LTM 1120/1
This morning I received a request from Asia by email. The customer is asking for the manual of a Liebherr telescopic crane type LTM 1120/1. A quick check on G++gle only shows an ebay auction for the crane parts book asking 300 USD for the book. Anyone here who has this manual and may want to give it away? Any help is appreciated.
Franz Bracht crane hire in Porta Westfalica
Some days ago the german crane hire company Franz Bracht has opened a new location. Beside the existing 12 locations in North-Rhine-Westphalia they have now established a further facility for mobile cranes in Porta Westfalica, located right beside the Bundesstraße 482. We don't have information yet about the number and type of cranes based at the new facility. Further investments of the company will be executed for new cranes. Amongst several others a crawler crane type 7700 from Sennebogen and a Liebherr telescopic crane LTM 1500-8.1 will be added to the fleet of cranes.

LTM 1350-6.1 - New 350 tons Telescopic crane from Liebherr
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.

All components have a width for transport under 4 metres with the exception of three units with a width of 4,25 metres. The heaviest part has a weight of 65 tonnes whereas nearly all components including counterweight slabs and power modules are containerized.
