Flexible all-rounder with 66 metre telescopic boom

Clausen is planning the new LTM 1150-5.3 for assembly and disassembly of construction cranes as well as for operations in chemical plants where large lifting heights are required. For power stations and cable car projects with weight-limited access, the Liebherr 150-tonne crane is ideal as it weighs 31 tonnes with the boom dismantled. All mobile and crawler cranes in the Clausen Kran AG fleet are made by Liebherr. "We enjoy a long-standing and trusting partnership with Liebherr. I have a high regard for Liebherr's modern crane technology, as I myself use the vehicles nearly every day", declares Geri Clausen.

Clausen also cites Liebherr's famously good service as an important decision criterion: "Standing for quality and service, Liebherr has been providing us with state-of-the-art crane and drive technology for years. We receive excellent support and Liebherr-Baumaschinen AG in Reiden is there for us around the clock".

The LTM 1150-5.3 has a 66-metre telescopic boom, putting it on a par with crane types in the 200-tonne capacity class. It scores with outstanding lifting capacities in a steep position as well as with a large radius. And it is ready for immediate use on the construction site: With a total weight of 60 tonnes and an axle load of 12 tonnes, the new 150-tonne truck already carries nine tonnes of ballast. This means it can do many jobs without the need for extra ballast transport. That saves time and money. It also has an optional detachable boom and removable sliding beams. When both components are removed, the LTM 1150-5.3 weighs around 31 tonnes. This makes it much easier to obtain special permits for the routes to be travelled.
