Second LTM 1450 for BKL

German crane rental company BKL Baukran Logistik has ordered a second 450 tonne Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1 All Terrain crane, after taking delivery of its first unit in 2018.

Scheduled for delivery later this year, the eight axle LTM 1450-8.1 features an 85 metre main boom, up to 84 metres of lattice jib and the company’s Variobase outrigger and VarioBallast counterweight systems. It is also able to travel within 12 tonne axle loads with main boom, outriggers and winch on board.

The company said it decided to order a second LTM 1450-8.1 after successfully carrying out numerous heavy bridge lifts and erected several large tower cranes as well as silo and prefabricated component assembly work over the past two years.
