Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1 - Moh Seng
The sharp grey Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1 of Moh Seng from Singapore (SG) is arriving on a saturday afternoon at the construction site. It is a 500-tonne crane with year of manufacture 2014.
It is the same construction site where a few months before the yellow LTM 1500-8.1 of Moh Seng was used as well. The entrance to the site has a sharp corner and steep slope.
The crane is 21.4 meters long, 3 meters wide and 4 meters tall. The crane weights about 125 tonner in this configuration.
The 8-axle carrier is powered by a Liebherr D9508 A7, an 8-cylinder diesel engine with a power of 500 kW (680 hp). The axles 1, 2, 4 and 5 are powered and the axles 1 to 4, 7 and 8 are steerable.
Of this grey version is also a 1:50 scale model by WSI available.
Some moments later is the crane being set-up.
The next day was the lifting operation, unfortunately it was raining all day. The crane was used with a guyed main boom and luffing jib.
The crane is fitted with 105 tonnes of counterweight.
The outrigger base measures 10 x 9.6 meters.
The crane was fitted with a 42 meter luffing jib. The luffing jib has a 21 meter base length and can be increased in length in steps of 7 meters to a maximum length of 91 meters. The crane is fitted with the luffing jib of the yellow crane.
The crane was used with luffing jib and YSL boom guying. The beams of the guying system are each openened 42 degrees.
The main boom is here extended to a length of 68.1 meters and parked in an angle of 75 degrees. With the 42 meter luffing jib is it possible to lift 14.5 tonnes at a minimum radius of 46 meters or 10 tonnes to the maximum radius of 60 meters.
The crates with construction materials have a mass of approx. 2 tonnes and are lifted on top of the new building.
Some moments later is the crane finished and can be dismantled again. A very sharp job by Moh Seng!
