German heavy lift company Richter Kran und Schwerlast has taken delivery of its third 800 tonne Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 all terrain crane for wind and industrial projects.

30-Second Takeaway German heavy lifting and transport company Richter Kran und Schwerlast  has taken delivery of its third 800 tonne Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 all terrain crane . The nine-axle crane offers up to 160 metres tip height with lattice extensions and the Y-Guy Superlift system , strengthening the company’s capacity for wind energy, industrial and infrastructure lifting projects  across Germany. Richter Kran Expands Fleet with Third 800 Tonne Liebherr German crane rental and heavy haulage company Richter Kran und Schwerlast  has added another 800 tonne Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 all terrain crane  to its fleet. The nine-axle crane was recently handed over at Liebherr’s manufacturing facility in Ehingen, Germany . This is the third LTM 1750-9.1  operated by the company, reflecting increasing demand for large lifting capacity in sectors such as wind power, industrial installation and infrastructure projects. The crane will primarily support wind turbine erection and maintenance , while also handling heavy industrial lifting work. Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 Specifications The Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1  travels with a 52 metre telescopic main boom . Once on site, the crane can be configured with a range of lattice extensions to significantly increase reach and lifting capability. Key configuration options include: Up to 91 metres of lattice extensions Y-Guy Superlift system  for additional lifting performance Maximum tip height of just under 160 metres This height is achieved with: 49 metre main boom extension 19 metre extension between boom nose and jib pivot point Full 91 metre luffing jib The crane also offers: Maximum working radius of 116 metres 1.81 tonnes lifting capacity at maximum radius Almost 100 tonnes capacity on the fully telescoped main boom Up to 208 tonnes capacity with the Y-Guy system installed These capabilities make the LTM 1750-9.1  particularly suited to wind turbine installation and large industrial lifting operations. Immediate Deployment on Industrial and Wind Projects The new crane entered service immediately after arriving at Richter Kran. Its first assignment took place in northern Bavaria , where it lifted several industrial components weighing up to 80 tonnes  for a ceramics company in Selb . Anton Pätzold, head of the transport department, explained that the company handled the entire logistics operation. “For this job, all services are provided from a single source: we not only take care of the preparation and the lift itself.” “The individual components of the industrial plant were previously collected from northern Sweden by our in-house transport department using three heavy-duty transporters.” Following completion of the project, the crane moved to the Bergisches Land region  to erect a wind turbine before starting another assignment dismantling 11 older wind turbines between Leipzig and Dresden . Growing Demand for Heavy Lifting Capacity Company owner Matthias Richter  said the decision to invest in another 800 tonne crane was driven by growing demand across multiple sectors. “The number of projects is currently enormous – in all areas. It was clear that we needed additional lifting capacity in this class.” Large cranes like the LTM 1750-9.1  are increasingly required for renewable energy projects, particularly for wind turbine erection and repowering projects . From Single Crane to Major Heavy Lift Company Matthias Richter founded Richter Kran und Schwerlast  in 2007  as a one-man operation using a single loader crane to transport building materials. The company gradually expanded its lifting capabilities. In 2016 , Richter purchased its first mobile crane a Liebherr LTF 1060-4.1 truck mounted crane , which is still used today for wind turbine foundation work. Additional cranes followed, including: Liebherr LTM 1070-4.2 Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 By 2019 , the company had grown to 20 employees , prompting a move to a larger facility in Leipzig . Today the business employs 55 staff  and offers both crane rental and heavy transport services  across Germany.
