The three axle LTM 1050-3.1 features a four section 38 metre main boom plus a nine to 16 metre bi-fold swingaway extension for a maximum tip height of almost 57 metres. It is equipped with full remote controls for all superstructure functions, Stage V diesel and Liebherr’s VarioBase outrigger system. In the UK it can travel on the road with its full nine tonnes of counterweight.

The crane's first assignment involved lifting precast concrete sections for a walkway at Burnley Football Club's stadium.
