Liebherrs Agile Allterrain Crane Gains Industry Traction

Imagine needing a crane that not only handles diverse lifting tasks but can also deploy as swiftly as a taxi responding to a call. While this might sound like science fiction, the Liebherr LTM 1050-3.1 all-terrain crane makes it a reality—a "mobile powerhouse" that seamlessly blends efficiency with flexibility.

Renowned for its economical "taxi crane" concept, the LTM 1050-3.1 features a 3-axle design that allows it to transport most counterweights or a double-folding boom on public roads. This enhances mobility and ensures rapid deployment. The ECOdrive and ECOmode functions further optimize driving and operational efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.

Recently, a new LTM 1050-3.1 arrived in Schleife, a municipality in Germany's East Saxony region. The family-owned company Kran & Transport Lausitz will use this 50-ton crane to replace a 15-year-old LTM 1045-3. A decisive factor in their selection was the crane's ability to transport most counterweights on public roads, enabling it to function as a true "taxi crane" for quick, flexible responses to lifting demands.

• Exceptional Mobility: The compact 3-axle chassis allows easy navigation through narrow urban streets and congested job sites. Transporting counterweights without additional trips significantly reduces setup time.
• Robust Lifting Capacity: With a maximum load capacity of 50 tons, it handles common lifting tasks effortlessly. The telescopic boom and optional folding boom adapt to varied operational needs.
• Cost Efficiency: ECOdrive and ECOmode features minimize fuel consumption, lowering operating costs. Rapid deployment also translates to higher productivity and improved economic returns.
• Safety and Reliability: Liebherr's stringent quality standards ensure the crane's durability. Advanced control systems and safety mechanisms provide comprehensive operator protection.

Kran & Transport Lausitz's adoption of the LTM 1050-3.1 underscores its advantages as a "taxi crane." For projects requiring rapid response and frequent relocation, this model stands out as an ideal solution—enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and delivering greater value. As urban and infrastructure development accelerates, versatile all-terrain cranes like the LTM 1050-3.1 are poised to play an increasingly vital role in the market.
