Liebherr unveils its new LTC 1050-3.1 compact mobile crane, the successor to the LTC 1045-3.1, at the Intermat 2015 in Paris.

Liebherr unveiled its LTC 1045-3.1 compact crane with a completely new cab concept at the Bauma 2010 and this has now been continued with the new LTC 1050-3.1: For driving on the road the cab is moved to the front of the vehicle using a telescopic arm. In this position the crane driver has better visibility and a good driving position, particularly at high speed. The optional lift cab which can take the crane driver to an eye level of 7.8 m opens up new areas of use and advantages over conventional machines.

The vehicle dimensions and turning circle radius have not changed compared to its predecessor. This means that the turning circle radius over the telescopic boom with 385/95 R25 (14.00) tyres is just 7.5 m. In particularly constricted areas on the site the boom can be luffed upwards to bring the turning circle of the chassis into play. The chassis length is 8.9 m and can be reduced to 7.7 m by removing the front storage box. Even with 16.00 size tyres the vehicle width stays within 2.55 m.

The new LTC 1050-3.1 is designed to be an "all-in crane" so that its gross weight of 36 t and axle weight of 12 t includes the entire counterweight of 6.5 t, the double folding jib, 445/95 R25 (16.00) tyres, Telma eddy current brakes, 6x6 drive and a hook block.

The new LTC 1050-3.1 is powered by an in-line six-cylinder diesel engine which complies with the latest emission regulations under Directive 97/68/EC - Stage IV and EPA/CARB - Tier 4 final. The engine produces 260 kW / 354 bhp and develops torque of 1,400 Nm. The drivetrain features a ZF automatic gearbox with six forwards and two reverse speeds. A torque converter allows for sensitive manoeuvring and minimal creep speeds.

The 6-piece 8.2 m - 36 m telescopic boom is extended and bolted fully automatically using the telematic controller, some 10,000 of which have now been fitted. The 7.5 m - 13 m double folding jib includes a 1.5 m assembly jib which can be set to an angle of up to 60°. The assembly jib and an optional second winch make the LTC 1050-3.1 ideal for assembly work in very constricted areas and in low industrial buildings. A 3-roller compact hook block with a double hook is available to use the perfect hoist heights for these applications. The maximum hoist height is achieved with a hook traverse which is installed instead of the roller insert in the assembly jib.

The new LTC 1050-3.1 features a wide range of storage boxes for extensive accessories, handling equipment and support timbers as standard.
