Strele ordered the eight axle LTM 1650-8.1 with the 54 metre main boom, but it can always add the additional sections for the 80 metre option at a later date. It does expect to use the shorter boom with the 21 to 91 metre luffing jib and Y-guying system for maximum tip heights of up to 155 metres and maximum radii of up to 112 metres. Other features include the VarioBallast hydraulically variable counterweight system, Stage V diesels with ECOdrive and ECOmode fuel and emission saving devices and Variobase variable outrigger set up and monitoring.
