S.A.S Group expands Liebherr crane fleet

S.A.S Group expanded its Liebherr crane fleet with LTM 1300-6.3 and LTM 1100-5.3.

The S.A.S. Group has expanded its Liebherr fleet with two mobile cranes – an LTM 1300-6.3 and an LTM 1100-5.3. Whilst the 300-tonne crane features compact dimensions and a large boom length, the 100-tonne model’s outstanding characteristics are its vehicle width and axle weight – both of which mean it can be moved between sites more quickly. Both cranes will be used in the petrochemicals, shipbuilding and chemical industries.

The LTM 1100-5.3 has a powerful 62 metre telescopic boom and can carry up to 16.9 tonnes of ballast on public roads with an axle load of just twelve tonnes. The consistent use of lightweight materials and sticking firmly to a vehicle width of just 2.55 metres means that the crane is economically mobile worldwide – it has an axle load of just nine tonnes and is flexible both on the road and on constricted sites. The crane features all the innovations from recent years, including VarioBallast– and it is the second crane model with the new LICCON3 control.

A powerful fast-erecting crane, the LTM 1300-6.3 is the first 6-axle crane in the world to carry a 90-metre telescopic boom with an axle load of twelve tonnes. The chassis is particularly lightweight, which means that load-bearing parts have been reinforced and the boom extended. VarioBase Plus ensures that a wide range of support options are possible. Other features, such as VarioBallast, AutoBallast and Windspeed Load Charts round off the equipment package on the 300-tonne crane. Overall, they make it ideal for erecting tower cranes and servicing wind turbines. Thanks to its great compatibility with other Liebherr crane models, parts of the ballast, the detachable hook block and various lattice sections are interchangeable.

“Liebherr is a global leader in its industry and is synonymous with value, image and quality. That is why we have been working with Liebherr for more than twenty years. Our fleet, which comprises more than 1000 vehicles, now includes more than 15 Liebherr cranes.”

The S.A.S. Group was founded in Novi Ligure in northern Italy, where its headquarters have been located for over 35 years. The company has experience in chemicals and petrochemicals, shipbuilding and construction. The S.A.S Group currently has a workforce of around 60 people and has an extremely modern fleet with the latest generation of green vehicles, including cranes, lifting platforms, telescopic loaders and vans.
