The second LTM 1230

Managing director Heiko Brückner, said: "We decided to buy a second LTM 1230-5.1 because we think that this crane’s concept is just right. We can use it for a very wide range of jobs with its VarioBase variable support base and the different ballast versions. Its high lifting capacities and very long 75 metre telescopic boom are ideal for assembling construction cranes.”
