Devon-based crane hire firm Spence Crane Hire, has received a new model, which they ordered form Liebherr's selection of cranes for sale. Their new acquisition is a Liebherr LTM 1040-2.1, a 40 ton capacity model from Liebherr's range of mobile cranes. The crane is equipped with high-tech specifications, which include BlueTooth technology and remote control options. It is a two-axle model, with a 4x4x4 drive option, and superlative lifting capabilities. The main boom is 35 metres in length and is comprised of four sections, with a capacity of 7.4 tons, or 1.1 tons at a working radius of 31 metres.
It is driven by single engine, and is equipped with a ZF automatic transmission, which has 8 gears; two for reverse and six forward. The smoothness of the mobile crane when it travels is ensured by the hydropneumatic suspension. The steering capabilities include the ability to operate from the crane cab. The control systems are of the LICCON 2 genus, which is an on-board computer system that optimises the performance of the vehicle. It features a touch screen display system and a BlueTooth terminal. Julian Spence, of Spence Crane Hire, commented on the the company's new Liebherr, This is our tenth Liebherr and is equipped with the latest technology from Liebherr. We believe that it is the first mobile crane based in the West Country to have the optional BTT-Bluetooth remote control unit, which allows us wireless control of all crane superstructure functions. We are confident that this will make the set-up procedure safer and quicker and, if required, the operator can be close to the load to be lifted or placed.
