350 tonner for Baldwins

UK crane rental company Baldwins Crane Hire has taken delivery a 350 tonne Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 just days after taking delivery of two new 80 tonne Terex AC80-2 All Terrain cranes.

This latest purchase bridges the gap between the 200 tonne LTM 1200-5.1 and 500 tonne LTM 1500-8.1 All Terrain cranes in Baldwins fleet.

The six-axle LTM 1350 has a 70 metre main boom and has been supplied with Y-Guy boom suspension system and 78 metre luffing jib providing a maximum under-hook-height of 132 metres. Additional features on Baldwins’ new crane include a tackle box, spark arrestor, working area limiter, adjustable floodlights and a wind speed indicator.

The LTM 1350-6.1 will bridge the gap between its recently purchased 200 tonne LTM 1200-5.1 and 500 tonne LTM 1500-8.1

The company claims the cranes high capacities on long boom lengths, makes it ideally suited for tower crane erecting work, with the Y-Guy system nearly doubling the lift capacity in many areas of the chart.
