Mobile crane LTM 1650-8.1

About this product

LTM 1650-8.1 - The maximum on eight axles.

Children with famous parents often have a hard life – they are under great pressure from birth and are expected to be successful. The same can be said of the LTM 1650-8.1, which we unveiled at the Bauma 2019 event, the successor to the legendary LTM 1500-8.1, the best-selling large crane ever. Of course, this heavy duty crane has the same genetic concept as its predecessor – ultimate performance on eight axles. The result is that the 8-axle crane can complete hoisting work in the 700-tonne class or even higher with ease. It therefore has a nominal lifting capacity of 700 tonnes. In a lifting capacity comparison, the LTM 1650-8.1 exceeds its predecessor’s capacity by between 15 and 50 percent, depending on its equipment package.

What's inside Maximum lifting capacity: 700 t / 770 US t: The maximum – the 8-axle crane has a nominal lifting capacity of 700 t / 770 US t. Flexible: 54 or 80 m / 177 or 263 ft: Two telescopic boom lengths with an easy change system. Global mobility: Its wide range of set-ups enables the LTM 1650-8.1 to access any site. Economical and flexible: VarioBallast®: Infinite adjustment of the ballast radius using hydraulic slewing mechanism. Green: ECOdrive: Save fuel and reduce noise using enhanced travel drive tuning.

Driving conditions: On-road driving, Jobsite driving

Ballast systems Counterweight VarioBallast: Counterweight radius

Technology Single-engine concept: Take one engine out to increase lifting capacity. Or more accurately – the superstructure is powered by the undercarriage engine. Gear shafts are routed from the distributor gear in the substructure via two mitre gears to the pump distributor gear in the superstructure. That enables us to remove one engine – and we use this to increase the crane’s lifting capacity. VarioBase®: VarioBase makes the crane’s support system variable. It enables each outrigger to be extended to a different length. This enhances safety – particularly in constricted spaces. And what's more, the crane’s lifting capacities are significantly increased, particularly over the outriggers and depending on the configuration. VarioBallast® (hydraulic): The ballast radius can be infinitely varied using a simple hydraulic slewing mechanism. The radius can be reduced in constricted conditions or increased if a higher lifting capacity is required. This significantly increases the crane’s flexibility. Automatic erection of the luffing jib: We can provide a support function for erecting the luffing jib on larger LICCON2 cranes. Activating the automatic erection system in the LICCON crane control system ensures that the adjustment winch is automatically adjusted by the control system as the telescopic boom is luffed. WindSpeed load charts: Increased flexibility and safety by using lifting capacity tables with different maximum wind speeds. Driver assistance systems: Driver assistance systems for extra safety on the road. All new mobile crane models are equipped with driver assistance systems that support the crane driver with additional „eyes“. They scan the environment and warn the crane driver to prevent accidents.
