LTM 1090-4

Liebherr-Werk Ehingen has renamed its telescopic mobile cranes. The new names continue to indicate lifting capacity and generation, as before, but also now show the number of axles. Most cranes in the line-up today are given the generation or version name '.1'. Under the new system, the LTM 1045/1, for example, becomes the LTM 1045-3.1. The 1045 indicates the 45t lifting capacity (as before) the 'dash 3' indicates that it has three axles, and the 'point 1' indicates the version.

Only the LTM 1060/2 and LTM 1800 are excluded from the new type designation system. Their names remain unchanged. Liebherr introduced the new system in part at the Bauma fair in March when it unveiled the LTM 1090-4. In pre-production marketing, it had been promoted as the LTM 1080/2 a second generation 80-tonner. It was reclassified as 90t, and so the LTM 1090/3 became the LTM 1100-4. The five-axle 100-tonner remained the LTM 1100/2 until June, when the new system was introduced across the full range and it became the LTM 1100-5.1.

The new names for the Liebherr mobile cranes are:

• LTM 1030-2.1 (35 t ; two axles)
• LTM 1045-3.1 (45 t; three axles)
• LTM 1055-3.1 (55 t; three axles)

• LTM 1100-5.1 (100 t; five axles)
• LTM 1150-5.1 (150 t; five axles)
• LTM 1220-5.1 (220 t; five axles)
• LTM 1250-6.1 (250 t; six axles)
• LTM 1300-6.1 (300 t; six axles)
• LTM 1400-7.1 (400 t; seven axles)
