The five-axle Liebherr LTM 1230-5.1 mobile crane the strongest in Cadman Cranes’ fleet and it also boasts impressive reach and advanced features.
“This new Liebherr crane is a game-changer for our fleet,” said Managing Director of Cadman Cranes, Matt Waddingham.
“With its substantial capacity, reach, and ability to tackle large and complex lifting projects, the LTM 1230-5.1 expands our lifting capabilities and highlights our commitment to delivering both power and sustainability.”
The LTM 1230-5.1’s 75-metre telescopic boom, which, combines with lattice extensions, allows it to achieve a maximum hoist height of 111m and a radius of up to 86m. Its high lifting capacity and outstanding reach make it particularly suited to projects that require height and precision.
Sustainability features include ECOmode, which minimises fuel consumption and noise emissions by calculating the perfect engine speed when operating the crane superstructure. This is in addition to the ECOdrive option, which minimises fuel consumption when on the road.
Cadman Cranes will be running the crane on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel – a sustainable alternative to traditional diesel. HVO is a diesel-like fuel that can be produced without fossil resources by processing renewable waste lipids.
As part of Cadman’s ongoing strategy to reduce its carbon footprint, the use of HVO fuel across the fleet has made significant strides toward the company’s goal of becoming the most sustainable mobile crane hire business in the United Kingdom.
