Welsh rental company, RRC Crane Hire Ltd. has welcomed a new Liebherr LTM 1150-5.3 to its fleet. Described as the jewel in its fleet, the all-terrain crane boasts impressive features and is said to be the perfect five-axle addition to the company’s portfolio.
It comes equipped with a 66m telescopic boom topped by a 10.8 to 19m double swingaway fly jib. A seven-metre insert can be added between the boom nose and the extension to take the hoist height to 92m and the maximum lifting radius to 72m. The lifting capabilities of the machine are greatly increased by VarioBase technology, which also improves the safety of the unit whilst in operation.
Furthermore, the crane has been taken with remote control, this concept allows for all superstructure function from outside the unit. Notably, the crane can carry 29 tonnes of its 45 tonnes of counterweight whilst travelling, obliging by the UK’s STGO regulations. Being able to carry over half its ballast enables the unit to complete the majority of jobs without the need for an additional vehicle. RRC Crane Hire’s managing director, Ian Cross, commented: “The new LTM 1150-5.3 will be the perfect fit between our 100-tonne cranes and our LTM 1230-5.1. We would like to thank Steve Elliot and the Liebherr team for supporting us through the process. RRC Crane Hire now looks forward to the next Liebherr arrival in 2025.”
Based in Wrexham, RRC Crane Hire runs a fleet that includes road going pick and carry industrial cranes, city type, a selferecting mobile tower crane and all-terrain cranes ranging from two to six axles.
