“Or we could erect a topless crane with a shorter jib that would swing underneath the crane that was already erected. We chose the second option.”

The new 200 tonne Liebherr is the 12th crane in the fleet, which also includes an LTM 1030, LTM 1055, LTM 1060, and a LTM 1100. The expanding fleet also includes truck mounted hydraulic cranes, city class cranes and specialised mini crawler cranes.

Four Liebherr saddle jib tower cranes are on lifting duty at the twin-towered Hong Kong Housing Authority’s latest public housing contract.

Based on the concept of the 71 K model, the new fast-erecting 81 K lifts loads more than 25% higher at the end of the jib, Liebherr said. The 6t capacity crane has a maximum hook height of 40.4m and 55m at a 30˚ jib angle.

The GCK3045 has a maximum capacity of 45 t and a 34 m boom with optional twist jib. This 6.3 m/10.2 m jib can rig within the crane’s 2.55 m width as opposed to more conventional jibs which must “swing out” of the crane’s width to set up.
