CRANE Global
Ainscough Crane Hire Ltd. recently used its Terex TC 2800-1 truckmounted lattice boom crane to place 10 air conditioning and container-ized tank and cylinder room units in the new Westfield Shopping Mallcomplex, at its future “Olympic” East London address.Conveniently located for visitors to the coming 2012 Olympic
Games, the new shopping mall stands at the heart of today’s busy con-struction site. With teams of different trade specialists working in closequarters, the crane’s proximity to the building was limited due to job sitesafety considerations.The furthest of 10 unit lifts was carried out in luffing fly jib configu-
ration (SFSL) at an astonishing 421-ft. (128.5 m) radius with 11-ton (10t) load, including hook block and lifting tackle. The remaining lifts werecarried out on a luffing jib configuration with fixed main boom (SWSL).Assembled within a three- day period, the Terex TC 2800-1 was con-
figured with a 236-ft. (72 m) main boom and 176-ton (160 t) counter-weight, plus 236-ft. luffing fly jib extension fixed at a 15-degree radius.Significantly increasing lifting capacity and reachable radius, the set-upalso included a 98.4 ft. (30 m) superlift mast and 330-ton (300 t) super-lift counterweight. “The new Westfield Shopping Mall complex is a core component of
the Olympic development project and access to the building is veryrestricted. Working to a tight schedule, we needed to move in, handle ourfar-reaching lifts efficiently and safely, dismantle and move out fast toleave room for other teams in just seven days,” said Steve Wathen, com-mercial director, heavy cranes division, Ainscough Crane Hire Ltd. “Inaddition to its outstanding reach capacity and lifting performance, thetruck mounted design, compact dimensions and straightforward assem-bly of the TC 2800-1 also were great benefits that worked very well forus on this highly challenging job.”Driven directly onto the construction site via temporary roadways, the
heavy Terex TC 2800-1 had to meet the 6.6-ton (6 t) per meter groundpressure job site requirements. This was accomplished by deploying its46 by 46 ft. (14 by 14-m), X-type outriggers on Ainscough’s extra large24.6 by 7.2 ft. (7.5 x 2.2 m) heavy-duty outrigger mats to reduce groundbearing pressure to 6 tons (5.6 t) per square meter — a very low figurefor a crane of this size.
About the Terex TC 2800-1 Well-adapted to petrochemical, infrastructure and wind turbine appli-
cations, the TC 2800-1 is a compact, roadable, truck mounted latticeboom crane providing a maximum lifting capacity of 661 tons (600 t) at19.6 ft. (6 m) radius in SH 24 configuration with its main boom. Offeringa 452-ft. (138 m) maximum main boom length and a maximum combi-nation of 314-ft. (96 m) main boom with 314-ft. maximum luffing jiblength installed for a maximum tip height of 630 ft. (192 m), its outstand-ing capacities are further increased by a 46 by 46 ft., X-type outriggersystem. A wide selection of “slide-in” modules are available to adaptconfigurations easily and rapidly to specific job requirements, withoutthe need for extra transport vehicles. These include boom extension, luff-
ing jib, superlift, wind turbine main boom kit, vessel lift and others.Designed for high return on investment at low total cost of ownership,
the TC 2800-1 combines the added value of time-saving design andlong-lasting components with outstanding performance at reduced oper-ation costs. For example, hydraulic pinning offers fast, straightforwardboom assembly while the quick-connection system allows the installa-tion or removal of the superstructure in under 15 minutes. In addition,convenient interchangeable counterweight slabs can be stored in sepa-
rate places for use on other cranes to help reduce transportation costs.Operator training expenses can be reduced due to an intuitive, user-friendly IC-1 crane control system that can be easily programmed withload charts for specific truck mounted, crawler or narrow track chassisoperations. The IC-1 control also provides the time-saving benefit ofconveniently shifting from fixed jib (SWSL) to luffing fly jib (SFSL)operation mode without the need to exchange computer hardware.Roadable within 13.2-ton (12 t) axle load limitations, the TC 2800-1 canbe driven without special authorization or escort vehicles in many coun-tries.

Terex CC 2800-1, CC 2500-1Relocate Bunker in Tandem LiftTwo Terex lattice boom crawler cranes, one a Terex CC 2800-1 and
the other a Terex CC 2500-1, have relocated a historical bunker for thereconstruction of the S7 Warsaw-Gdansk highway, through the villageof Witramowo, in Poland.Performed by Gastel Zurawie S.A., Poland, the lift of the 511-ton
(464-t) concrete bunker became necessary when a local conservationofficial refused the dismantling of the shelter. Originally built as part of
a larger military fortification, the bunker is considered to be one of thebest preserved examples of its kind in the country.“As a particularly unique application, this lift required careful plan-
ning and the use of heavy-lifting cranes capable of operating to the highlevel of precision required to move the bunker to its final destination. Weneeded a solution that would enable us to lift, carry and rotate the entirestructure extremely carefully in a single journey, without deterioratingthe bunker’s existing fragile condition,” said Tomasz Kwiecinski, vicepresident of Gastel �Zurawie S.A. Part of the solution was a giant steel cage designed to encase the
bunker while being strong enough to take the full tension of both craneswithout buckling during the lifting process.Rapidly assembled in SSL configuration with 137-ft (42-m) main
booms, both cranes were fully rigged and ready to operate within three
days. “For our customer, Sando Budownictwo Polska Sp. z o.o. our recom-
mendation to operate with a Terex CC 2800-1 and Terex CC 2500-1crawler crane tandem on this job had major advantages. The cranes’combination of huge lifting capacity and maneuverability meant that wewere able to lift the full 584 ton load, carry it under hook for approxi-mately 230 ft., and then carefully rotate the cranes to orientate the struc-
ture into its precise final position in onestep. Any other solution would haveeither involved ordering more expensive,heavier cranes, or dividing the processinto several separate stages, which wouldhave taken much longer,” said JacekMogiłka, crawler crane division managerof Gastel �Zurawie S.A.Beginning at 8 a.m., the specially con-
structed steel frame was attached to thedouble hook blocks of both cranes inorder to lift the bunker to a height ofapproximately 5 ft (1.5 m) above ground.Both cranes then proceeded to lift, carryand slew the load together slowly for fourhours, before setting the bunker at its finaldestination. While considerably increasing lifting
speeds, double hook operation alsohelped reduce winch reeving time andenabled the use of shorter hoist ropes toreduce the weight carried by eachmachine. Offering greater horizontalitythan single hook operation, weight on theline pull was sufficiently well-distributedto slew and carry the 584 ton load withouttwisting the hoist ropes. The Terex CC2800-1 and Terex CC 2500-1 successful-
ly completed their tandem lift within six hours.“Our choice of using the Terex CC 2800-1 and CC 2500-1 crawler
cranes to work together on this unique job site provided the efficient,cost-effective solution that our customer needed. Consequently, we wereable to ensure that the entire process was carried out smoothly, accord-ing to schedule within just one day. The provision of the second doublehook block by Terex Cranes Zweibrücken also came as a welcomeadvantage in ensuring our customer’s full satisfaction,” said Kwiecinski.Currently located at a safe distance from the highway, one of Poland’s
best preserved examples of historic military fortification now looks for-ward to restoration, and being opened to the public as an historical mon-ument in the months to come. The overall cost of relocating the monu-ment was lower than modifying the highway to go round it.
Part of the solution to this tricky lift was a giant steel cage designed to encase the bunkerwhile being strong enough to take the full tension of both cranes without buckling during thelifting process.

About the Terex CC 2500-1The Terex CC 2500-1 is the most powerful lattice boom crawler crane
in its class. Providing a maximum lifting capacity of 551 tons (500 t) andmaximum load moment of 6,768 tons (6,140 t), the CC 2500-1 offers amaximum load radius of 465 ft. (142 m) with SSL/LSL 126 m + 36 mLF. The CC 2500-1 has a heavy load capacity and high versatility,notably when operated in Superlift configuration. Variable Superliftradius and variable offset for SW and SWSL boom combinations arewell-matched to a wide range of applications. Main boom length reach-es up to (413 ft) (126 m), depending on crane model. Machine weightis optimized for transport, at a maximum of 43 tons (39 t) per section.The user-friendly IC-1 touch-screen crane control system provides sim-ple and precise operation, capable of calculating load capacities for inter-mediate main boom positions, among other features, according to themanufacturer.
About the Terex CC2800-1The Terex CC 2800-1 lattice boom crawler crane can be converted
from standard version to special-purpose wind power crane — and back,with only a few special components. Like extra-strong main boom sec-
tions and a fixed fly jib (LF2) in 40, 78 or 118-ft. (12, 24 or 36-m)lengths developed specifically for wind turbine erection. Standard available wind-power combinations provide optimum lift-
ing capacities and clearance while minimizing transportation costs.Available in both standard and narrow-track (NT) models, the NT ver-sion enables access to road and track ways from 16.5 ft. (5 m) in width.The NT version is compatible with 5 ft. (1.5 m) track pads (for reducedground pressure). Additionally, the CC2800-1 also can be supplied with a chassis
designed for road travel. The standard machine, including all winchesand A-frame, is transportable within a 13-ton (12-t) axle load limit. Withdesign features and options that focus on time-saving setup and disas-sembly processes —plus reduced transportation costs, the CC2800-1provides the benefits of being both highly flexible and cost-effective tooperate, according to the manufacturer. Equipped with the time-proven Terex IC-1 control system, this
machine is able to operate in almost any working conditions.For more information on on Gastel �Zurawie S.A. visit www.gastel-

Cranes Prove Vital in Construction ofBridges Spanning N.C.’s Yadkin River
By Peter HildebrandtCEG CORRESPONDENT
Just after World War I, a young soldier named Dwight Eisenhowernever forgot his long, dusty and monotonous experience of crossing thecountry by vehicle convoy on the rough roads of those days. The triptook weeks. When he became president, he pressed hard for a nationalinterstate system. In its infancy back in the 1950s, much of the emphasis for the inter-
state system was on the increased speed it would provide. Over the yearstravelers could add simplicity of travel to the list of the benefits of thistremendous transport system and aside from speed and convenience,safety as well.But one stretch of Interstate 85 through North Carolina as it reaches
and crosses the Yadkin River for years found itself with a much highercrash rate than the statewide average crash rate for comparable facilities.Sixty thousand to 70,000 vehicles per day pass through this busy corri-dor. A $136 million bridge and road building project is underway that will
make this stretch safer. “Dating back to 1955, the current bridge, though a straight span cross-
ing the river, lies between two curves that were not designed for the
heavy traffic that uses the road today,” explained Adam Mathews, proj-ect manager for Flatiron-Lane, the main contractor on the job. “The curves on either side of the river are fairly sharp and the span is
only two lanes on each side of the interstate. When completed, the threemiles of highway will have four lanes on each span and the approacheswill be much less problematic. The new bridges will start about 500 feeteast of the current location.Two of the cranes used for the project are owned by Flatiron-Lane,
and were brought onto the site from various parts of the country and theworld. They are currently using seven track-mounted cranes: fourManitowoc 888’s, two Manitowoc 4100’s and one Manitowoc 555. The4100s have yellow drill attachments on them. These Manitowoc cranesare of various ages.
The tallest has a height of about 180 ft (54.8 m). Some of the craneshave attachments for drilling and drilling has been done down to thebedrock, some 70 to 80 ft (21 to 24 m). Three cranes are involved in that.The shafts being drilled on the land side are actually deeper than thosein the riverbed, as on the land there is more soil before the rock isreached. In the riverbed more erosion of the soil has taken place and thebedrock is closer to the surface. Another crane is at the lay down yardwhere the rebar cages are located. Each crane has its own operator and around all these cranes some 50-

60 people are typically busy at work. There are two 888 Manitowoccranes and many workers assembling the trestle ahead of the bridge-work. Most of the crane work is on schedule. Though it was a rough winter,
it hasn’t really been too bad for getting the work done, according toMathews. At one point work had to shut down due to too much rain andthe soil being unable to dry out. Protecting the wetlands here also hasbeen something of a challenge. “North Carolina is a very environmentally conscious state,” says
Mathews. “There were also a couple of days when we had to take cranesdown due to the high winds, but that is also nothing out of the ordinaryon such projects as this.” Darin Waller, resident engineer with North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) has been involved in administering projects tomake sure they are built to the standards and the specifications, to keeptrack of any material testing on the site and sampling the concrete andthe soils. “NCDOT has had about ten people on the Yadkin River highway job.
Now that the construction season is ramping up, we’ll probably have 20to 25 people out here,” Waller said.A temporary bridge is being built so that they can access it to build
the two permanent bridges over the Yadkin River. The main bridges arealmost 3,000 feet in length. “A long bridge is necessary because basically we’re in an environ-
mentally sensitive area, spanning the wetlands, and we had to keep fromdamaging those and trying to have as minimal an impact on that area aspossible. In this project not only do we have the environmental concernsthat we’ve got to address, but we also have to cross the railroad twice,”said Waller.One of those crossings is spur line and the other is a mainline track
for North Carolina Railroad and Norfolk Southern, the operating rail-roads on that line. This is a fairly busy track, according to Waller,
because several miles just north of the track is one of their switchingyards. West of this work, upstream of the project, stands a historic concrete
arch bridge called the Wilcox Bridge. Repair work is being done to thatstructure and when they are done with that bridge, there won’t be anypermanent traffic on that span. It will be turned over to Davidson Countyfor use as a walking bridge for pedestrian traffic.Paralleling the Wilcox Bridge is the US 29/70 bridge which is also
going to be replaced during the Yadkin River project. Flatiron-Lane willbe building the U.S. 29/70 northbound bridge using each completed sec-tion of the bridge as the work platform for the next section; eliminatingthe need for a temporary work bridge and reducing the impact to theenvironment. NCDOT has three bridges all within a short distance ofeach other that they’re also working on at the same time in this corridor.Work on the Yadkin River project started in October, 2010. They plan
to have traffic on the first northbound bridge of I-85 by March 2012 andall traffic off of the old bridges by May 2012, and by January of 2013Flatiron-Lane will have the entire project completed. “That is a very fast pace to build a project of this size in two and a half
years,” said Waller.This is a design build project, in which teams of designers and con-
tractors work simultaneously to design and construct a project to speedup completion. This approach helps avoid cost inflation on longer proj-ects and allows the contractor to make innovations that save taxpayerdollars, according to Waller.Flatiron-Lane is a joint venture of Flatiron Constructors Inc., based in

History, Environment Challenge Workwork will go from the end of this project up to the point where BusinessI-85 splits in Linwood, North Carolina. “Once that project is done it will pretty much complete this corridor
in this area, involving the widening,” added Waller.Besides environmentally sensitive areas, there are historic lands in the
immediate vicinity as well. An old trading ford is in the area where theriver was once crossed, perhaps by ferry. York Hill, a battleground, islocated near the historic bridge. “A wide variety of agencies had to be met with in our efforts to get a
design of the bridge that everyone could be happy with, another chal-lenge going into this project and letting it get under way,” says Waller.“We wanted to make sure our design and everything we do satisfiedeverybody.”In addition to replacing the I-85 bridges spanning the Yadkin, the U.S.
29/70 bridge and the parallel bridges that cross over the North CarolinaRailroad tracks north of the river, phase one plans also include: replac-ing the parallel bridges over the Duke Power Industrial Rail Spur southof river; reconstructing the interchange of I-85 at N.C. 150; removing theinterchange of I-85 at Clark Road and the construction of noise walls.Work is being done 24 hours a day. Flatiron-Lane is making a con-
certed effort to minimize disruption to I-85 traffic, improve safety whenhauling materials and equipment to the construction sites; and construct-ing a single temporary work bridge instead of two separate temporarywork bridges when replacing the I-85 bridge over the Yadkin River.Doing so is more environmentally friendly and will accelerate the workschedule. Flatiron-Lane is also providing a five-year warranty on theproject. The new bridge has spurred interest from all around the state, where
it’s considered the number one project right now, according to Mathews.“The governor and the Secretary of Transportation have both visited theproject, as have quite a few others. We’re glad that the Flatiron-Lanecrews, cranes and equipment are all part of that process.”

Manitowoc 888, RINGER AttachmentWell Suited for Dam Replacement
A Manitowoc 888 crawler crane mounted on a RINGER attachmenthelped replace a navigational lock gate at the John Day Dam on theColumbia River between Oregon and Washington. The downstreamnavigational lock gate is 113 ft. (34.4 m) tall, making it the tallest lockin the United States. The 1,000-ton (907 t) gate was removed and replaced in four sections,
with the heaviest load for the Model 888 weighing 572,400 lbs. (259,636kg). Advanced American Construction Inc., the contractor for the job,faced various challenges when performing these heavy lifts because thecrane was mounted on a barge. Advanced American Construction chose a Manitowoc 888 RINGER
to reduce the load radius that would otherwise be required when liftingon land. Essex Crane Rental Corp. rented the Manitowoc 888 toAdvanced American.Advanced American chose the Manitowoc 888 not only to meet its
capacity requirements, but also for its reach. The project required remov-ing and replacing two components weighing 130,000 lbs. (58,967 kg)each from the roof of the lock towers more than 130 ft. (40 m) above thebarge. The inherent instability of working on a barge also presented several
challenges. The contractor used a self-contained ballast system to trans-fer water between hull tanks to steady the barge as the crane hoisted each
load. Maintaining balance was critical because, for the crane to completethe picks, the bow of the barge needed to be secured within 6 in. (15 cm)of the dam. Kainan Bodenlos, project superintendent of Advanced American
Construction Inc., said that support from Essex and Manitowoc madethe project a success.“This job had several sizable hurdles that we had to overcome to
make this project a success,” said Bodenlos. “Essex Crane’s customersupport was extraordinary. When we encountered challenges, Essex andManitowoc worked closely together to ensure we didn’t lose time on thejob.” The Manitowoc 888 RINGER has a capacity of 661 tons (600 t) and
a maximum jib capacity of 275 tons (249 t). It has a 435 ft. (132.5 m)maximum radius and a 45 ft. (13.7 m) diameter ring. For this project, thecrane was rigged with 250 ft. (76 m) of boom and 1.4 million lbs.(635,029 kg) of counterweight. The work on the John Day Dam is part of a larger maintenance and
repair initiative including the John Day, Dalles and Lower Monumentaldams along the Columbia-Snake Rivers. The project, which includesreplacement of the gates, drive machinery, and electrical systems, beganin October 2010 and was complete in March 2011. CQ

Link-Belt Introduces HTC-86100The all-new Link-Belt HTC-86100 100-ton (85 t) hydraulic truck
crane was shown at ConExpo 2011. The 86100 has a completely newcarrier frame design that is both stronger andlighter than the HTC-8690 it replaces. The
added strength affords a 100-ton (85 t) baserating and the reduced weight provides
even better transportability. Thecrane also will feature the new
Link-Belt Pulse total crane
operating system. Part of Link-Belt
Pulse is a new boomtelescopic extend modecontroller (EMC) for the pin-ning and latching operations. Likethe RCL portion of Link-Belt Pulse, theEMC is a Link-Belt in-house creation,ensuring outstanding service and satisfaction,according to the manufacturer. It interacts with the86100’s new pinning and latching system that willbecome the standard for Link-Belt cranes with this type ofboom extend system — the same system found in Link-Belt’slarge rough terrain and truck cranes as well as the new ATC-3275. For cranes so equipped, these changes standardize Link-
Belt’s product line on one pinning and latching system for one craneoperating system. The HTC-86100 has a 35 to 140-ft. (11.6 to 42.7 m), five-section,
formed boom produced in Link-Belt’s own facility. Teflon wear pucksimpregnated in the full contact wear pad surfaces keep the boom lubedwithout grease. As with all of Link-Belt’s booms of this type, there is nodeduct in the capacity chart for telescoping any load. Maximum tipheight is 237-ft. (72.2 m) with the additional two 16-ft. (4.9 m) latticeinserts that can be installed between the boom head and the fly. Onboardtip height is 205 ft. (62.5 m).The standard modular style counterweight package of
11,500 lbs. (5,216 kg) provides excellent roadabil-ity. For highway travel, each of these counter-weight packages move easilyto optimize the weight bal-ance between the frontand rear axles. The systemto raise and lower thecounterweight can becontrolled entirely fromthe comfort of the oper-ator’s cab.Powering the HTC-
86100 is the 445 hp (331.8kW) Caterpillar C13, 12.5 Lengine with 1,550 ft.-lb. (2,101.5 J) oftorque. It’s coupled to ZF’s AS-tronic “automated” transmission with 12
forward and two reverse speeds. This transmission provides all the ben-efits of a manual transmission but without a clutch pedal and still has allthe smooth controllability features of an automatic.Air-ride suspension is standard on both the front and rear axles of the
HTC-86100. This suspension not only provides a smooth highway rideand on-tire lifting capacities, but also allows job site travel with all of the32,500 lbs. (14,742 kg) of counterweight.The winches deliver 16,880 lbs (7 657 kg) of line pull and 480 ft. per
minute (146.3 m/min) of line speed. Spooled onto the winch drum is .75in. (19 mm) diameter rotation-resistant wire rope.Other features of the HTC-86100 include:• CabWalk• The CALC (Confined Area Lifting Capacities) system• Lightweight Stow-n-Go outrigger pontoons• Full deck aluminum fenders• Pre-paint• Supported 24/7 by Link-Belt Preferred including online manuals,literature, a ground bearing calculator, and 3D Lift Plan

LTM 1350-6.1
Joins LiebherrAt ConExpo 2011, Liebherr presented the new 400-ton (350-t)
mobile crane on a six-axle chassis, the LTM 1350-6.1. With its 230 ft.(70 m) telescopic boom, the LTM 1350-6.1 offers a 32 ft. 10 in. (10 m)increase in boom length compared to its predecessor, the LTM 1300-6.1.The load capacity also has been improved.
Capacities and Long Boom SystemWith high capacities at long extended telescopic boom, the LTM
1350-6.1 is suited for tower crane erecting work. Additional capacityimprovements result from the Y-suspension, which doubles capacity inmany areas. This new six-axle crane from Liebherr can perform workthat up to now had to be handled by seven- or eight-axle models, accord-ing to the manufacturer.With the 256 ft. (78 m) long luffing fly jib, the LTM 1350-6.1 has a
maximum hoisting height of 439 ft. (132 m), 52 ft. (16 m) higher thanthe previous model. It can therefore operate with the lattice jib in areaspreviously reserved for mobile cranes in higher capacity classes.The new LTM 1350-6.1 can self-assemble the Y-suspension without
a supporting crane. The suspension frames are placed on brackets at theright and left side of the telescopic boom, then pinned to the heel sectionof the boom. This concept has already proved successful on the LTM1400-7.1.The counterweight frame with the luffing winch for the fly jib
installed and the baseplate with counterweight blocks in position cantravel as a complete package with a weight of 132,300 lbs. (60 t) on alow bed trailer. For crane operation, up to 308,600 lbs. (140 t) of coun-terweight are used.
Drive TrainThe LTM 1350-6.1 chassis is driven by an eight- cylinder Liebherr
diesel engine rated at 612 hp (450 kW) at 1,900 rpm, and with a maxi-mum torque of 2,106 lbs.-ft. (2,856 Nm) at 1,500 rpm. Power is trans-mitted to the crane axles by a 12-speed ZF TC-Tronic gearbox. Fordrive-off and sensitive maneuvering, a torque converter is installed. An“Intarder” wear-free hydraulic brake is installed in the gearbox for con-stant braking. The LTM 1350-6.1 is equipped with air-operated discbrakes. Disc brakes not only provide a higher braking power, but alsoare at the same time more economical due to the fact that their operatinglife compared with drum brakes is higher and brake pad renewal easierand faster.The four rear axles of the new crane’s six-axle chassis are steered
actively, dependent on road speed, by an electro-hydraulic system. Thisimproves maneuverability and greatly reduces tire wear. During crabsteering, all six axles are steered and axle lift thus eliminated. Five steer-ing programs can be selected at a pushbutton.The Liebherr four-cylinder inline engine on the crane super-structure
develops 245 hp (180 kW) at 1,800 rpm, with a maximum torque of 845lbs.-ft. (1,145 Nm) at 1,500 rpm. Crane drive is diesel-hydraulic, withfive variable axial-piston pumps, a servo control system and load sens-
ing control. For maximum sensitivity the winches and the slewing gearare operated by closed circuits. Four simultaneous working movementsare possible. The crane cabin, with a new design, is located at the side of the boom
and does not have to be turned to face rear-wards during road travel.
Crane Drive With New Control SystemThe LTM 1350-6.1 features the new Liebherr LICCON2 crane con-
trol system. Compared to the previous version it offers an even higherdegree of operating convenience with additional potential applications.Computing power and capacity also have been improved. The color datadisplay on the LICCON2 monitor enhances readability and clarity, sothat warnings and crane utilization data are even more legible. Below thejoysticks the LICCON2 is equipped with convenient touch actuation ofvarious working functions. These include the adjustment of the work-area lights and the climate controls.For erecting tasks a new mobile multifunctional control and display
unit is available: the Bluetooth terminal. It can be used to position thecrane easily and safely on its supports. The crane driver also can attachand detach the hook block at the bumper within view by remote controlof the hoist winch and the telescopic boom luffing ram through theBluetooth connection.For more information visit, www.Liebherr.com. CQ
With its 230 ft. (70 m) telescopic boom, the LTM 1350-6.1 offers a32 ft. 10 in. (10 m) increase of boom length compared to its pred-ecessor, the LTM 1300-6.1.

The MLT 625 provides power and reach in a compact machine thatis able to gain access into low overhead buildings, garages and barns.
The compact design of the MLT 625 features an overall height of 6ft. 7in. (2 m) and a width of just under 6 ft. (1.8 m). This makes it easyfor the MLT 625 to access even the smallest structures; including smallstorage buildings, greenhouses, and stables. The short turning radius of10 ft. (3 m) enables it to maneuver into normally inaccessible spaces forhandling hay, feed, seed and fertilizer; animal care, harvesting work, andmiscellaneous chores around the property.
The MLT 625 telescopic handler hasfeatures that are both powerful and effi-cient. The 75 hp (55.9 kW) turbo chargedKubota diesel engine coupled with ahydraulic gear pump results in a flow rateof 24 gal. (90 L) per minute at a pressure of3,408 psi (235 bar). The enhancedhydraulic performance provides rapidresponse and quick work cycles. The MLT625 telescopic handler offers an idealpower-to-weight ratio and a flexible two-speed hydrostatic transmission that resultsin less fuel consumption, according to themanufacturer. It is equipped with 18 in.(45.7 cm) agricultural tires and a ground
clearance of 15 in. (38 cm), allowing it to work easily on challenging jobsites and rough terrain.
The hydraulic system provides operating efficiency with a wide vari-ety of attachments. This versatility makes the MLT 625 universal to usein a variety of applications.
The spacious cab is ergonomic and comfortable, offering panoramicsightlines for increased safety and productivity. The operator compart-ment also is equipped with a dashboard with a digital display showingall the essential performance information. The insulation of the cab andengine compartment provides excellent sound proofing with low soundlevels of 76 dB. The cab includes an intuitive and ergonomic “JSM”multi-function joystick control that allows the operator to control alldrive and hydraulic functions with the right hand, leaving the left hand
totally dedicated to steering, providingmore precise control and convenience. Anadjustable steering column with both tiltand height adjustability further enhancesoperator comfort and reduces operatorfatigue.
