Scottish rental company Hugh Simpson Contractors has taken delivery of a 150 tonne LTM 1150-5.3 All Terrain.
The five axle 1150-5.3 is equipped with a 66 metre, seven section main boom along with the 10.8 to 19 metre bi-fold swingaway extension that offsets hydraulically by up to 40 degrees. A seven metre insert can be added between the boom nose and extension to take the maximum tip height to almost 95 metres and maximum radius to 72 metres. It also features Liebherr’s VarioBase variable outrigger set up and monitoring system.
The handover
Managing director Hugh Simpson said: “We are delighted to take delivery of the new LTM 1150-5.3, a great addition to our fleet. The impressive ‘as travels’ duties on the crane were a major contributor to our decision process when purchasing this crane, as we need to be adaptive when working in the very far north of Scotland.”
