150 tonner for RW Christopher

Welsh rental company RW Christopher has taken delivery of a 150 tonne LTM 1150-5.3 All Terrain Crane with a 90 tonner expected in January.

The five axle LTM 1150-5.3 is equipped with a 66 metre, seven section main boom along with the 10.8 to 19 metre bi-fold swingaway extension that offsets hydraulically by up to 40 degrees. A seven metre insert can be added between the boom nose and extension to take the maximum tip height to almost 95 metres and maximum radius to 72 metres.
It also features Liebherr’s VarioBase variable outrigger set up and monitoring system.

RW Christopher’s general manager Sam Christopher said: “We are excited to welcome our second LTM 1150-5.3 to our fleet. We decided to reinvest in the 150 tonne model because of its impressive lifting capabilities, but the crane’s ‘as travels’ duties were also a major contributor to our decision.”

Family owned R. W. Christopher was established in 1986 and operates a fleet of cranes from eight to 300 tonnes from its location in Bridgend, covering Wales and south west England.
