UK heavy lift and rigging company Osprey is adding a new 800 tonne Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 All Terrain crane to its big crane fleet.
The nine axle LTM 1750-9.1 travels with its 52 metre main boom and once on site up to 91 metres of lattice extensions can be added along with the Y-guy Superlift system to achieve a maximum tip height of just under 160 metres with the main boom extended to 49 metres, a 19 metre extension between the boom nose and jib pivot point plus the full 91 metres of luffing jib.
The maximum radius is 116 metres at which it can handle 1.81 tonnes. The capacity on the fully telescoped main boom is just under 100 tonnes - or 208 tonnes with the Y-Guy system installed. The new crane will arrive at the company’s UK Heavy Lift base within the next few weeks.

Osprey has taken the full complement of extensions and accessories, in order it says, “to optimise the crane setup for each project, maximising lift capacities and ensure the right configuration is available for every site condition”.
The company has a number of big cranes in its fleet including a 650 tonne Tadano CC 38.650-1 and 750 tonne Liebherr LG 1750 mobile lattice and a 1,000 tonne LTM1800D cable suspended telescopic. Its main work for these large cranes is the installation of onshore wind turbines and handling major offshore turbine components. at the Port of Blyth it has performed more than 1,000 heavy lifts relating to offshore wind power and also runs a fleet of 120 Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs).

Heavy lift director Dean Graham said: “The LTM 1750-9.1 adds real flexibility to our operations. It’s quick to set up, easy to move, and efficient to run. For clients, which means we can shorten programmes, reduce vehicle movements, and complete lifts in tighter spaces. It rigs itself using its own boom and can move between pads while part rigged. That makes it well suited to turbine maintenance or construction work where space is limited.”
Osprey Maritime was established 30 years ago and runs several divisions, including Heavy lifting, Port services and Abnormal load haulage. Based in Portishead near Bristol, its Heavy Lift division is in Mansfield, other divisions are based in the port of Bristol, Avonmouth and Northumberland with a barge business in the Netherlands. It had revenues last year of more than £32 million.
