UK crane rental company Emerson Crane Hire has taken delivery of a Liebherr LTM 1230-5.1 All Terrain crane, the second 230 tonne unit in its fleet.
The five axle LTM 1230-5.1 is equipped with an eight section 75 metre main boom and can be topped by an 11.5 to 20 metre bi-fold swingaway extension that offsets by up to 40 degrees.
