Liebherr LTM 1400 - King of Heavy Lift Cranes

Moving Massive Loads with the Liebherr LTM 1400-7.1

When it comes to moving truly massive loads, few cranes can compare to the Liebherr LTM 1400-7.1. This 500-ton capacity monster is in a class of its own when it comes to hauling equipment and materials that weigh hundreds of tons. With its 7-axle chassis, powerful Liebherr diesel engine, and immense telescoping boom, the LTM 1400 is ready to take on any job.

Powerful Drivetrain to Move Massive Loads

Moving 500 tons is no easy task. It requires an incredibly robust drivetrain featuring top-of-the-line components. The LTM 1400 sits on a 7-axle chassis featuring double tires on each wheel station for maximum stability. The crane features a powerful 710 horsepower Liebherr diesel engine paired with a 12-speed transmission to deliver smooth, efficient power.

Despite weighing over 100 tons itself, the LTM 1400 can achieve transport speeds of up to 55 mph thanks to its automated 18-speed transmission. The crane also features active rear axle steering for exceptional maneuverability given its substantial size.

Telescoping Boom Handles Massive Heights

Of course, the chassis and drivetrain are only part of the equation. The LTM 1400 also features an immense 160 foot telescoping boom capable of handing loads at great heights. The crane can hoist over 110 tons at its maximum hook height thanks to its heavy counterweight and durable boom construction.

The boom telescopes in and out hydraulically, allowing the operator precise control when positioning loads. It also features a luffing jib and an adjustable counterweight system for improved versatility. Operators can fine-tune the crane's set-up to perfectly match each job.

Advanced Control Systems for Precision Operation

Precision is paramount when handling massive loads, which is why Liebherr equips the LTM 1400 with advanced control systems. The crane utilizes electronic sensors and monitoring equipment to provide operators with a wealth of data for informed decision making.

The LTM 1400's control panel features an intuitive touchscreen display showing key load parameters. Operators can see real-time radius, height, and capacity measurements to avoid overloading the crane. Automated systems also help monitor stability for safer lifts.

Tackling Demanding Jobs

With its immense lifting capabilities, the Liebherr LTM 1400 takes on demanding jobs that no ordinary crane could handle. For example, wind farm construction often requires moving giant turbine blades and hubs weighing over 100 tons each. The LTM 1400 does this with precision and ease.

Major infrastructure projects also call upon the LTM 1400. When constructing large bridges, contractors need to position reinforced concrete sections and steel beams weighing hundreds of tons. The 500-ton capacity Liebherr makes light work of these massive structural elements.
