Two Liebherr 1450s for Ainscough

UK crane rental company Ainscough Crane Hire is to take delivery of two 450 tonne Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1 All Terrain cranes - one arriving this month and one in May - the new cranes will join its heavy crane division.

The cranes have an 85 metre main boom, swingaway extensions, variable outrigger base and VarioBallast allowing them to operate in space restricted situations.

Chief executive Janet Entwistle said: “Owing to the new cranes’ flexibility, there is great potential for it to operate on infrastructure projects, wind farms, refineries and city centre contracts where some larger cranes do not have the space to work. It can be delivered to a site and assembled quickly maximising uptime for us while positively improving productivity for our customers.”

“The LTM 1450-8.1 can accommodate a variety of transport weight and machine axle configurations, making it one of the most road friendly eight axle All Terrains on the market.”

“The flexibility of the machine is a key part of its attraction to us. Its VarioBallast system, removable main beams and outriggers along with its single engine design, make it stronger, lighter and needing less transportation. It all adds up to easy maneuverability, reduced set-up times and significant lifting power. These innovations add real value to our customers.”
