Second LTM 1090 for Southern

UK rental company Southern Cranes & Access has taken delivery of a second 90 tonne Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 All Terrain crane.

The four axle crane features a 60 metre main boom plus a 16 metre swingaway extension and is able to travel on UK roads complete with its 22.5 tonne counterweight, hook blocks, rigging and boom extension. The crane’s first job was to replace glass panels in Kew Gardens, London. Southern was the first company in the UK to take delivery of the new LTM 1090-4.2 earlier this year.

Director Kelvin Prince said: “Having placed the order for two LTM 1090-4.2s last year at Conexpo, we were pleased to take delivery of the second machine. We have found the LTM 1090-4.2s to be compact and versatile with the added bonus of the VarioBallast and VarioBase. The new cranes have fitted in really well with our fleet profile and we have had some positive feedback from not only the operators but also our client base.”

It runs a fleet of All Terrain cranes up to 450 tonnes, as well as mobile self erecting tower cranes. The company also runs a fleet of scissor lifts, boom lifts and telehandlers from its six southern UK depots.
