Overview
Built for large-scale heavy lifting, the LTM 1500-8.1 combines a high-capacity carrier with modular boom and lattice jib
systems to cover a wide range of applications. Two telescopic boom variants allow optimising the crane either for a more
compact setup (50 m boom) or maximum reach (84 m boom). A large counterweight package and optional guying systems support
increased lifting performance when required.
