he Liebherr LTM 1300-6.2 is a 300-tonne mobile crane mounted on a six-axle chassis, designed for a wide range of heavy lifting applications. Its primary lifting tool is a 78-meter telescopic boom. For additional reach and versatility, the crane can be equipped with a variety of lattice jibs, including a 5.5 to 35-meter swing-away jib (K/NZK), a 17.5 to 70-meter luffing fly jib (N), and a 14 to 42-meter fixed lattice jib (F). The maximum system length, combining the 78-meter boom with the luffing jib, reaches an impressive 114 meters, as indicated on the cover. This makes it well-suited for demanding applications like the erection of wind turbines, industrial construction, and bridge projects.

A key feature of the LTM 1300-6.2 is its innovative and efficient design. The crane is powered by a single 8-cylinder Liebherr diesel engine producing 455 kW (619 PS), which drives both the carrier and the crane superstructure through a mechanical shaft, a system known as the Liebherr SingleEngine concept. This reduces maintenance and increases efficiency. The crane is also equipped with ECOmode, which automatically disengages the pump drive when idling to reduce fuel consumption and noise. The brochure highlights the VarioBase® variable support base, which allows each outrigger to be extended to individual lengths, enabling safe operation in constricted working conditions. The LTM 1300-6.2 also features a fast and efficient set-up process, with a self-assembly device for winch 2 that can be installed without an auxiliary crane, and automatic ballasting by pressing a button. The crane’s lifting capacities are further enhanced by the luffing lattice jib, which provides an enormous working range with 3.5-meter lattice sections for optimized hoist heights and load capacities.

For transport, the crane is optimized for efficient road travel. Its total counterweight of 96 tonnes is made up of ballast plates that are designed for fast ballasting, with 56 tonnes fitting within the vehicle width. The brochure details various on-road driving configurations with axle loads ranging from less than 6 tonnes per axle to 12 tonnes per axle, as well as a jobsite driving mode. The crane’s safety is managed by the LICCON2 safe load indicator system. The brochure includes detailed load charts for all configurations, including the T (telescopic boom), TK (swing-away jib), TNZK (hydraulically adjustable swing-away jib), TF (fixed lattice jib), and TN (luffing fly jib) systems, providing comprehensive data for the crane’s operation. The LTM 1300-6.2 is a powerful, versatile, and technologically advanced crane designed for the most demanding lifting tasks.
