Smiley has Taken Delivery of the First of Four New Liebherr Cranes

The growth of the Heavy Crane Division over the last few years has been very exciting. With the addition of this Liebherr LTM1230-5.1 and an additional three Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 cranes over the next 18 months, Team Smiley is in a great position to continue our growth.

About the Liebherr 1230-5.1:

“The LTM 1230-5.1 is extremely versatile, powerful, safe and efficient. And it has a surprising structural steel design.”

“Our crane experts made the multi-award-winning VarioBase® support technology the focal point of the structural steel design for this crane. This means that the LTM 1230-5.1 is the first to have an asymmetrical support base. VarioBase® means that it is now possible to generate particularly high lifting capacities, particularly at the rear working area, over the supports – calculated in real-time by the LICCON controller. VarioBase® Plus is the combination of VarioBase and an asymmetrical support base. Furthermore, the LTM 1230-5.1 has an extremely long telescopic boom. And it also sets new standards in terms of lifting capacity. With lattice extensions, the maximum hook height has been increased by around 10 percent compared to its predecessor. The 5-axle mobile crane is therefore ideal for working with the boom fully raised and at large hook heights, for example for erecting tower cranes or maintenance work for wind turbines.”
