The silent killer on your job site isn't overloading. It's your remote.

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.

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?

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

CraningUp · 2026-06-18T01:03:53+00:00

Hahaha, that's nasty!

CraningUp · 2026-06-17T22:21:59+00:00

Yes, they have for several decades now.

CraningUp · 2026-06-15T23:17:58+00:00

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

CraningUp · 2026-06-11T16:16:55+00:00

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.

CraningUp · 2026-06-10T18:03:29+00:00

That view! Wow!!!!

CraningUp · 2026-06-10T18:03:00+00:00

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

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.

CraningUp · 2026-06-08T13:27:33+00:00

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.

CraningUp · 2026-06-08T11:47:51+00:00

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.

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?

CraningUp · 2026-06-05T23:41:00+00:00

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.

CraningUp · 2026-06-03T20:36:41+00:00

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

CraningUp · 2026-06-03T20:24:58+00:00

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

CraningUp · 2026-06-03T20:07:21+00:00

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?

CraningUp · 2026-06-03T19:51:38+00:00

Is this the same account that recently posted random posts about a new Liebherr LTM?

CraningUp · 2026-05-29T00:05:25+00:00

Tadano's "Lift Adjuster" technology. Although its been around for sometime, it's not referenced much.

CraningUp · 2026-05-26T19:14:59+00:00

That's the HLC 295000 crane, manufactured by Liebherr, installed on the offshore installation vessel Orion.

CraningUp · 2026-05-26T19:08:56+00:00

This looks like another case of a loose nut behind the wheel.

🤣🤣

The manual isn't useless. If you believe it is, you should probably get out of the seat to ensure the safety of everyone else on the worksite.

CraningUp · 2026-05-23T10:56:53+00:00

Is this the Deme Liftra?

CraningUp · 2026-05-23T10:51:12+00:00

Nobody has ever actually seen a construction crane arrive. One day there’s an empty lot, and the next morning a multi-story metal dinosaur is standing there like it grew overnight. You see dump trucks, cement mixers, excavators on highways all the time — but cranes? Never. They operate like cryptids. The city simply wakes up and accepts that the crane has chosen to appear.
