LTR 1220 for Brazil

Brazilian heavy lift and haulage company Guindastes Tatuapé has taken delivery of the first 220 tonne Liebherr LTR 1220 telescopic crawler crane in Brazil.

The LTR1220 features the same 60 metre boom found on the LTM 1220-5.2 All Terrain crane and is fitted with a 12.2 to 22.2 metre bi-fold swing-away, which can be extended further with two seven metre lattice sections. The crane has already worked on a number of projects and is currently erecting concrete beams for the construction of a new railway line at Guarulhos Airport in Sao Paolo.

Guindastes Tatuapé director, Denys Garzon, said: "We have managed to gain a good deal of experience with this crane concept using the LTR 1100. We know how versatile telescopic crawler cranes are. What is more the costs on the site are relatively low since they can be driven when fully equipped."
