The second Liebherr crane to be equipped with the Liccon3 control system, it also has a Stage V diesel and Liebherr’s VarioBase outrigger system.
City Lifting's managing director, Trevor Jepson said: “The crane was ordered for its road possibilities. We predominantly operate in London where it is becoming increasingly difficult to move cranes as more bridges and structures are being downrated to 44 tonne GVW. This crane with the ballast removed will be able to access certain areas in London that only trucks which can comply with the construction and use regulations can get to.”

“If we travel this crane with 15.4 tonnes of ballast it can be used within STGO category B giving much better braking combined with higher legal travel speeds whilst still having good lifting duties.”
