Fleet Expansion With 100-Tonne LICCON3 Mobile Crane System
BAJ Freight and Logistics Ltd has deployed a Liebherr LTM 1100-5.3 mobile crane to address a capacity gap and optimize its heavy lifting operations. www.liebherr.com Operating within port logistics, mining, and the oil and gas sectors in Ghana, BAJ Freight and Logistics Ltd relies on a mobile crane fleet for structural installations and material handling. Previously, the company's equipment roster consisted of 300-tonne, 220-tonne, and 150-tonne Liebherr cranes. Operating these high-capacity machines for smaller and medium-sized lifting tasks resulted in a high utilization rate across the fleet. This operational pattern increased the risk of downtime and accelerated maintenance cycles on the larger units. To optimize asset allocation and reduce structural strain on the existing equipment, the logistics provider identified a requirement for a lower-capacity machine to handle intermediate lifting tasks. Technical Specifications of the LTM 1100-5.3 To address this operational gap, BAJ Freight and Logistics Ltd integrated a Liebherr LTM 1100-5.3 mobile crane into its fleet. This 100-tonne, 5-axle machine features a 62-meter telescopic boom designed for mid-range lifting operations. The crane configuration allows it to transport up to 16.9 tonnes of counterweight while maintaining a 12-tonne axle load on public roads. For deployment in regions with stricter infrastructure limitations or specialized site conditions, the crane's driving configuration can be adjusted to an axle load of 9 tonnes. Control System Integration and Local Service The LTM 1100-5.3 is the first mobile crane in Ghana equipped with the third-generation LICCON3 crane control system. The adoption of this electronic architecture was driven by the requirement for standardized safety protocols across various construction and industrial sites. According to Joseph Biney, Chief Executive Officer of BAJ Freight and Logistics Ltd, the new unit will systematically manage smaller lifting tasks to reduce the operational strain on the larger cranes. The decision to select this specific platform was largely dependent on the availability of established local maintenance infrastructure in Ghana, ensuring high machine availability and minimizing potential supply chain delays for technical support.
