Launched in mid 2024, the six axle LTM 1400-6.1 replaced the 350 tonne LTM 1350-6.1 and offers a six section 70 metre main boom with Y-Guy Superlift, along with numerous lattice extensions and jib options, including a 45.5 metre luffing extension for a maximum tip height of around 120 metres and an 80.5 metre luffing jib for up to 140 metres.

Emerson said: “This will be the first of its kind in the UK and a major addition to our fleet as we continue to invest in the very best equipment for our customers and their projects.”

Emerson Crane Hire was established by Edward Clancy in 1991 and now operates from three locations in Greater London - Dagenham, Basildon and Iver - with a fleet that ranges from three to 450 tonnes made up of mini crawler, spider, All Terrain and self erecting mobile tower cranes.
