Windhoist now have 2 x LTM11200 cranes. We have been very impressed by it’s performance since we took delivery of pour first model in November 2008.

The LTM 11200-9.1 is the strongest telescopic crane on the market and has the longest telescopic boom in the world at 100m. The eight-part boom is fully automatically extended to and fixed at the desired length. In addition, various lattice extensions are available. The Y-shaped telescopic-boom guying system offers remarkable increases in load capacity. The active, speed-dependent rear-axle steering developed by Liebherr is integrated into the nine-axle chassis.

We have long felt that Liebherr long boom technology will continue to have an important influence on the wind energy industry and we have worked closely with Liebherr (Ehingen) in the development of the LTM 11200-9.1. We successfully introduced this concept to Siemens Wind Power on a number of French projects and the crane has proven to be the safest and most efficient method to erect 80m tower, it can be safely relocated on site in less than 4 hours with minimal working at height during mobilisation
