The new crane features:
A six-section 70-metre telescopic main boom
Liebherr Y-Guy Superlift system
Multiple lattice extension options
Advanced heavy lifting configurations
The crane is designed to deliver improved lifting capacities and greater operational flexibility across infrastructure, industrial, and construction projects.
Luffing Jib Configurations Extend Reach to 140 Metres
The LTM 1400-6.1 can also be equipped with:
A 45.5-metre luffing extension
An 80.5-metre luffing jib
These configurations provide:
Maximum tip heights of approximately 120 metres
Extended configurations reaching up to 140 metres
The crane’s versatility allows it to support a broad range of heavy lifting and high-reach applications.
