To be unveiled ... a new 220 tonne telescopic crawler crane?

The LRT 1220 has a 60 metre six section main boom plus 12.2-22.2 metre bi-fold swingaway extension - which can offset by up to 45 degrees, plus two further seven metre inserts for a maximum extension length of 36.2 metres all of which can be offset. The boom design allows for the unit to work out of level by up to four degrees in order to cope with heavier duty crawler crane type applications.
