Davies Crane Hire has made a strategic move by integrating the powerful Liebherr LTM 1650-8.1 into its operations. This addition, known for its impressive 700-tonne lifting capacity, marks a significant enhancement for the company. Formerly, their largest crane offering was a 450-tonne model, which underscores the leap in capacity and capability.
The LTM 1650-8.1 is designed for heavy-duty lifting tasks and comes with a 54-metre main boom that can extend up to 80 metres. For projects requiring additional reach, the crane features a full 90-metre luffing jib and an advanced Y-guying system. These specifications make it an ideal choice for complex and large-scale construction assignments, offering a maximum hook height of 152 metres and a lifting radius of 112 metres.
In integrating the LTM 1650-8.1, Davies Crane Hire opted for top specifications including VarioBase, a system that allows for asymmetric outrigger configuration, and VarioBallast, which provides hydraulic counterweight adjustments. These features ensure the crane’s stability and adaptability, particularly in challenging construction environments.
Neil Davies, the managing director, highlights that the introduction of the LTM 1650-8.1 represents a proactive step towards addressing the increasing size and weight of modern construction lifts. This move not only expands their service offerings but also positions the company to better satisfy client needs within the industry.
Davies Crane Hire, established by Malcolm Davies, operates a diversified fleet from locations in Carmarthen, Port Talbot, Milford Haven, and Cardiff. This expansion reflects the company’s commitment to growth and adaptation in a dynamic sector.
The acquisition of the Liebherr LTM 1650-8.1 demonstrates Davies Crane Hire’s commitment to innovation and meeting the changing demands of the construction industry.
