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, and a range of 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. The crane will primarily be used for infrastructure and industrial construction projects, including the installation of steel and precast concrete components.

Everwilling general manager, Steve Allen said: “A few years ago, we identified the need to replace our LTM 1300-6.1 with a crane that is equally compact on site and on the road, while offering significantly higher capacities. The increasing demand for heavy lift solutions on major infrastructure and industrial projects in New South Wales further reinforced our decision in favour of the Liebherr LTM 1400-6.1.”
The rest of the Everwilling family at the handover
Based in Smithfield on the outskirts of Sydney, the Everwilling group was founded in 1982 by Gordon Henderson and is a family owned group of companies. With around 90 employees and a fleet of 25 All Terrain and tower cranes - including 14 Liebherr’s - it operates primarily within the construction sector.
