Two Liebherrs for Southern

UK rental company Southern Cranes & Access has taken delivery of two Liebherr All Terrain cranes, a 150 tonne LTM 1150-5.3 and a 300 tonne LTM 1300-6.4.

The six axle LTM 1300-6.4 - updated in May 2024 - features an eight section, 90 metre main boom topped by an 11.5 to 20 metre bi-fold swingaway extension, to which two seven metre inserts can be added between the boom nose and swingaway for a tip height of 121 metres. Other features include the Variobase Plus outrigger setup system, which offers a wider, more variable rear outrigger spread - up to 9.4 metres - as well as AutoBallast.

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. The crane has already worked on a project in London, assisting with a ‘pin drop’ installation for the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary celebrations alongside the River Thames.

Southern Cranes & Access, director Kelvin Prince said: “The addition of these two Liebherr cranes represents a significant investment in the continued growth of our business. The LTM 1150-5.3 and LTM 1300-6.4 give us greater capacity, reach and versatility, enabling us to meet the increasingly complex requirements of our customers across London and the south of England.”

Established in 1997, family run Southern Cranes & Access is based in Horsham, south of London and covers a large area around London and the southeast with a fleet that includes All Terrain, mobile self-erecting tower and spider cranes as well as aerial work platforms and telehandlers - both fixed frame and 360 degree models.
