BKL looks back positively after two years working with the LTM 1450-8.1

The Ingolstadt site of crane logistics company BKL has been operating a powerful Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1 mobile crane for just over two years.

 

This modern mobile crane has recently been demonstrating its lifting capacity installing air conditioning units on the roof of a massive industrial building. A whole host of air conditioning units had to be installed on the roof of a new industrial building in Kösching near Ingolstadt in Bavaria. An LTM 1450-8.1 provided by the BKL outlet in Ingolstadt was used to move the material onto the enormous flat roof. Using a 28 metre lattice jib at an angle of 40 degrees and the almost fully extended telescopic boom at a length of 84 metres, the crane operator managed to place the loads in all the different destinations from a single location. Gross weights of up to 1.4 tonnes were positioned with great accuracy using radii of up to 89 metres. The position for the crane had been selected superbly taking into consideration the 22 metre high projecting edge. This meant that the crane job, involving 17 hoists and scheduled for around two days, was actually completed on the evening of day one.

 

Rainer Speich, Site Manager and Dispatcher at BKL in Ingolstadt was absolutely delighted. He looked back on to successful years with the LTM 1450-8.1: the crane has tackled bridge hoists, tower crane erection work, silo and prefabricated component assembly work and many other jobs over the last 24 months with BKL. “VarioBase and VarioBallast and the wide range of set-up versions, including the folding jib, means that crane is incredibly flexible to use as well as having short set-up times”, explained crane expert Speich.

 

Before the end of this year, BKL Baukran Logistik GmbH based in Forstinning near Munich is scheduled to take delivery of another Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1.
