The five axle, single engined LTM 1230-5.1 features an eight section 75 metre main boom and a 11.5 to 20 metre bi-fold swingaway for a maximum tip height of around 97 metres with a maximum radius of up to 76 metres. Other features include VarioBase outrigger set up, and VarioBallast adjustable counterweight, along with ECOdrive technology that helps reduce fuel consumption by adjusting its ZF TraXon gearbox to the ideal travel setting and also reduces noise emissions, while the ECOmode function does much the same for the superstructure functions.
