Liebherr's new telescopic boom wheel cranes come out

Liebherr, a leading German manufacturer, is set to launch new telescopic cranes and 40-ton mobile cranes with a lifting capacity of up to 1,000 tons. Dr. Ulrich Hamme, head of engineering at Liebherr-Werk Ehingen, revealed that the new model will feature a 9-axis chassis and a 60-meter main boom. This advanced crane will be positioned as part of the high-end LTM1800 series, expanding the company’s range in heavy-lift solutions. Some existing LTM1800 models have been upgraded with jibs, allowing them to operate as 1,000-ton cranes. The newly developed crane, weighing 650 kg, is based on the experience gained from the recently launched 9-ton model, ensuring improved performance and reliability. In addition, Herkules has partnered with two Malaysian companies to establish MSH Erkules SDN.BHD in southern Malaysia. The facility is expected to begin production in early 2006. It will manufacture various crane models for distribution across Malaysia, Indonesia, Abu Dhabi, and neighboring regions. An office will also be opened in Abu Dhabi. A telescopic boom all-terrain crane with a 40-ton lifting capacity is currently in development. The LTM1040-2.1, a 2-axis crane, offers a lifting capacity between the LTM1030-2.1 (35 tons) and the LTM1045-3.1 (45 tons). It comes equipped with a 35-meter, four-section single-cylinder boom that can extend and retract under partial load. With a 9.5-meter side jib, it can achieve a maximum lifting height of 44 meters. As a replacement for the smaller LTM1030-2.1, the LTM1040-2.1 provides enhanced performance and versatility. According to the German Association of Construction Machinery and Building Materials Machinery (VDMA), German engineering equipment exports are projected to grow by 17% in 2005, reaching 7.2 billion euros. Total sales revenue for German manufacturers is expected to hit 9.7 billion euros, an increase of 12% compared to 2004. Export volumes accounted for 74% of total sales in 2005, up from 71% in 2004. VDMA President Dr. Christof Kemmann highlighted that two-thirds of machinery manufacturers reported good or satisfactory business conditions. Nearly 70% of companies expect to maintain 2005 levels in 2006. Dr. Kemmann also anticipates double-digit growth in exports for 2006. German construction machinery exports are expected to rise by 15% in 2005 to 4.7 billion euros, while sales of construction materials machinery increased by 20% to 2.5 billion euros. Growth is driven by demand from new EU member states, such as Poland, where construction machinery exports rose by nearly 40%. China has also emerged as a key market, joining Europe, Russia, and the U.S. as major export destinations. Domestic demand for construction machinery remains stable. Sales in the German domestic market are expected to grow by 3% in 2005 to 1.9 billion euros, while construction machinery sales are forecasted to decline slightly by 5%, reaching 630 million euros. Despite the positive outlook, Dr. Kemmann pointed out that rising steel prices and tire shortages remain significant challenges. “When we tell customers we can only supply the equipment without tires, their reactions are often shocking,” he said. The long 5-meter boom has an average lifting capacity of 7%. According to initial mechanical data, the LTM1040-2.1 can lift a 7.8-ton load within a 10-meter radius when the main boom extends to 30.1 meters. The maximum boom length is 35 meters, with a lifting capacity of 1 ton at 30 meters.
