Telescopic cranes
Liebherr renames telescopic family
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)
- LTC 1055-3.1 (55 t; three axles)
- LTM 1060/2 (60 t; four axles)
- LTM 1090-4.1 (90 t; four axles)
- LTM 1100-4.1 (100 t; four 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)
- LTM 1500-8.1 (500 t; eight axles)
- LTM 1800 (800 t; eight axles)

Terex Demag at Intermat 2003
CC 1500 :The new CC 1500 is a crawler crane based on the technology of the very successful CC 1800-1 but in a lighter version without Superlift attachment. The crane has a max. lifting capacity of 300 US-tons. This crane has been developed mainly for the US market to compete against the Manitowoc 999 and the Liebherr LR 1280 but is also very interesting for customers all over the world.
AC 110: The new AC 110 combines the practice-proven technology of the AC 100 with the outstanding new technology of the AC 160-1. The crane features a powerful superstructure, a 50 m main boom, and the 33 m boom extension of the renowned 100-tonner. To satisfy the US road regulations, the crane is equipped with the newly developed carrier of the 160-tonner with special US axle configuration and axle loads of less than 10 t. The carrier features the new speed-dependent rear axle steering and thus sets new standards in terms of both travel convenience and maneuverability.
AC 200-1: The new AC 200-1 with its 68 m boom is the longest in its category and provides a tremendous system length of 100 m. This is a very strong and versatile crane with 4 outrigger positions as standard, featuring the new electro-hydraulic rear axle steering and the ingenious crane control system IC-1.
AC 160-1: The new AC 160-1 is the little brother of the AC 200-1. The technology and many of its features are very similar to the AC 200-1, the boom length is 64 m with a system length of 96 m. Compared to the AC 200-1, this crane is roadable with 2.1 t of counterweight while axle loads keep within the 12 t limit. The AC 160-1 is one of the world’s first cranes that have been designed to satisfy most of the road regulations all over the world, using a special axle configuration for the carrier.
