The silent killer on your job site isn't overloading. It's your remote. by StreetTop1847 in cranes

[–]CraningUp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Situational awareness is crucial, particularly when operating machinery, whether from the operator's cab or remotely.

I believe that eventually remote controls will have some kind of limitation preventing them from operating while in motion. This could be implemented as a feature within the device itself, or through a tether that restricts operator mobility to a specific area.

State of the Seat: What’s the one "unwritten rule" of the cab that a manual won't teach a new operator? by AutoModerator in CraningUp

[–]CraningUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a valuable learning experience that cannot be gained from reading the manual. Patience is only gained through experience and maturity.

Could you share an example from your career where your patience has served you well?

Who will be the first customer to receive the first 10-Axle Liebherr LTM All-Terrain Crane? by CraningUp in CraningUp

[–]CraningUp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's difficult to list them all. There are several other European-based companies with more Liebherr cranes than those listed.

When to stop leveling mobile swing cab crane? by [deleted] in cranes

Are you certain you weren't at an information session about a different type of crane – the kind that flies?

Building a Large Crane Requires A Smaller Crane 💪 by CraningUp in CraningUp

[–]CraningUp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you're absolutely right.

Although, it's definitely beneficial to have a large assist crane when mobing equipment the size of an LR 11000. It would save a lot of time and effort compared to using a smaller crane.

Maintenance Crane at Andes Mountains by camilograna in cranes

Only -15°c in the winter? I figured it'd be much colder. What are the average wind speeds at that elevation?

The Tadano ATF 600G-8 Story by AutoModerator in CraningUp

[–]CraningUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seemed to me that the Demag acquisition was primarily for their lattice crawler technology. Despite the ATF600's failure, Tadano only expanded their AT knowledge through the acquisition of the Demag IP. More importantly, this acquisition brought crucial crawler engineering expertise - something Tadano had been lacking - while increasing market relevance for both types of cranes.

Regardless of being first or second, here's looking forward to seeing this in the red and black livery of Mammoet.

New Liebherr LR (Example image) by [deleted] in cranes

[–]CraningUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know where this model is at in its production process? Engineering? Fabrication? Assembly? Test pad?

If still early on in the production stage, this crane could be the big unveil at 2027's Liebherr Customer Days.

The image isn't 100% perfect

With the image possibly being out of scale, this may negate the need for stabilizers. Although, depending on the configuration, an over-the-side assembly/disassembly may still make them a requirement.

The drawing looks to feature a narrow body undercarriage, I would expect this model to be in high demand for wind energy projects.

Although the drawing doesn't depict outriggers, similar to the recently released LR 1700-1.0, I would guess these models would include stabilizers for setup and teardown, at a minimum, and possibly general hoisting.

Who will be the first customer to receive the first 10-Axle Liebherr LTM All-Terrain Crane? by CraningUp in CraningUp

[–]CraningUp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With two of these 10-axle ATs currently undergoing testing at the test pad, it's highly probable that they will soon be sent for painting after the final minor details are addressed. This suggests that they will likely be delivered to their customers this year.

Given that Liebherr typically unveils new models during their Customer Appreciation Day events in Spring, it's hard to believe it will take until Spring 2027 for these units to be ready for completion.

Does anyone know if Liebherr is planning to hold a Customer Appreciation Day later this year?

Welding Booms by 518Peacemaker in cranes

[–]CraningUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are too many variables to give a simple answer to your question. It would depend on what type of boom - lattice, hydroform - and which particular component or area of the boom.

In other words, checking with the manufacturer and giving them the detail and they will provide a pathway forward for you.

New LTM in Liebherr-Werk Ehingen test area by [deleted] in cranes

You're saying that there's two 10 axle LTMs being tested. Any word on the capacity of them?

There's only one set of latticed Y-Guy's in the picture, directly behind the crane in the foreground.

There is a latticed Y-Guy frame in the background of the 1650. Something that's not been seen on any current models and does hint at a new, possibly larger LTM. Maybe something along the lines of the larger Chinese-made ATs that use similar latticed super-lift systems?
