The LTM 1110-5.1 will replace a 100 tonne class mobile crane at LENZ-KRAN.

Company owner Wolfgang Lenz explains:

The LTM 1110-5.1 is very innovative with its single-engine concept. It offers our customers more lifting capacity and, due to having VarioBase, also delivers greater safety and flexibility for jobs on constricted sites.

The new crane will fit into the mid-range section of the fleet at LENZ-KRAN, which extends
up to the LTM 1350-6.1. Its main areas of use will be the construction industry and repair work of container bridges at the port. Lenz has ordered a hydraulically adjustable double folding jib specially for this type of work. With its 60 metre boom, lattice extensions and lattice jib, the LTM 1110-5.1 can reach hook heights of up to 91 metres.

Lenz also appreciates the great mobility and flexibility of his new 5-axle crane as it can carry 13.1 tonnes of ballast on the road with an axle load of 12 tonnes. However, it can also be driven at a gross weight of less than 48 tonnes with a maximum axle load of 10 tonnes. Even with its maximum ballast of 28.7 tonnes, its axle load remains below 15.5 tonnes. A quickchange system for the ballast slabs ensures maximum flexibility for changing the crane’s setup.

LENZ-KRAN was founded in Bremerhaven in 1986 and in addition to mobile crane hire, also provides high capacity and heavy haulage services. The company currently has a workforce  2/3 of around 35 and operates nine mobile cranes, seven of which were supplied by Liebherr. Another sector in which family-run Lenz is involved is construction, where it specialises in wooden construction and assembly work.
