The six-axle, single engine Liebherr LTM 1300-6.3 is a fast-erecting 300-tonne class all-terrain crane, loaded with the German manufacturer鈥檚 technology: ECOmode, ECOdrive, VarioBase Plus, VarioBallast, Auto-Ballast and windspeed load charts.
The crane has a 90-metre main boom and has been supplied to Southern Cranes & Access (SCA) with double fly jib with hydraulic control for offset as well as refinery kit and boom head camera.
As the photos here show, it has been delivered in SCA鈥檚 new livery, the company鈥檚 first with the new design.
This crane is the last of SCA鈥檚 Liebherr deliveries for 2022 but a further order has been placed for 2023 to include an LTM 1110-5.1, LTM 1070-4.2, LTM 1055-3.2 and two LTM 1040-2.1 models.
SCA director Kelvin Prince said: 鈥淎s the company who took delivery of the UK鈥檚 first crane with VarioBase, the UK鈥檚 first LTM1090-4.2, the UK鈥檚 first MK88 and MK140 [truck-mounted] tower cranes, it made perfect sense for us to showcase the first 90-metre telescopic six-axle machine in the UK.
鈥淲ith the fleet additions we have coming in 2023 we, along with a few others, will have the most up to date fleet in the UK.鈥�
Southern Cranes & Access is based in Horsham and operates around London and the southeast.
