The nine-axle crane will be by far the largest crane in the Yamagata fleet, the second-largest being a 250 tonne Liebherr LTM 1250 6.1 which was delivered earlier this year. The company's fleet includes four All Terrain and eight Rough Terrain cranes, primarily used for port handling work.

In addition to the 50 LTM11200s, Liebherr has delivered 15 crawler versions - the LTR 11200 - while another 11200 superstructure is mounted on a self-propelled jack-up barge for work on offshore wind turbines.
