The new Liebherr LTM 1040-2.1 for Spence

The crane has a four-section 35 metre main boom, 9.5 metre bi-fold swingaway extension with up to 60 degrees of offset.

Julian Spence said: “This is our tenth Liebherr and is equipped with the latest technology. We believe that it is the first mobile crane based in the West Country to have the optional BTT-Bluetooth remote control unit, which allows us wireless control of all crane superstructure functions. We are confident that this will make the set-up procedure safer and quicker and, if required, the operator can be close to the load to be lifted or placed.”
