The US based All Crane group is set to receive five of the first 130 tonne Liebherr LRT 1130-2.1 Rough Terrain cranes to be delivered.
According to All, the first units are due to arrive over the next month or two. The new crane, Liebherr’s third Rough Terrain model, was unveiled at Bauma in October 2022, with US crane sales and rental company Bigge also adding the new crane to its fleet, placing an order at Conexpo in March. North America is the largest market for Rough Terrain cranes, especially for the larger models.
The two axle LRT 1130-2.1 features a seven section 60 metre main boom, which is said to be the longest on any two axle Rough Terrain crane. It is topped with a 10.8 to 19 metre bi-fold swingaway extension with offsets of up to 40 degrees and can be extended with a seven metre insert for a maximum tip height to around 88 metres. A 2.9 metre assembly jib can be stowed on the left side of the boom.
The unit has an overall width of 3.4 metres and an overall height of 3.85 metres, while the chassis length is 9.4 metres. The optimum transport weight is 48 tonnes with swingaway and hook block, but none of the 20 tonnes of counterweight. The unit comes with a high standard specification, including tilting cab and Variobase variable outrigger set up.
Liebherr USA’s general sales manager Brian Peretin said: “All Crane has a tradition of making history when it comes to high capacity RTs. All purchased the very first units of our 90 and 100 tonne LRTs when they were first released.”
“Larger RTs have become a phenomenon in the past 10 to 15 years. They offer many of the same features of All Terrain cranes, but with a smaller footprint, pick & carry capabilities, and a smaller cash outlay.”
