The Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 is the largest telescopic crane, with a maximum boom length of 100 metres (328 ft). The boom consists of eight nested sections of steel tube that extend like a mariner’s telescope – hence the name. The 100-ton boom is truck-mounted and able to lift weights of 1,200 tons. The crane is powered by a six-cylinder 240kW engine – separate to the 500kW engine that powers the crane’s 20-metre, nine-axle carrier vehicle.
