High-capacity mobile crane for industrial lifting
Liebherr supplies the LTM 1120-4.2 to Pınarbaşı to expand lifting capacity for industrial plant assembly and heavy industry projects in Turkey. www.liebherr.com The Turkish industrial construction company Pınarbaşı has taken delivery of the first LTM 1120-4.2 mobile crane in Turkey. The 120-tonne class crane expands the company’s lifting capacity and supports industrial installation, dismantling, and heavy equipment handling projects. Fleet expansion for industrial projects Increasing order volumes and the scale of new industrial contracts led Pınarbaşı to add a higher-capacity crane to its fleet. The company selected the LTM 1120-4.2 to strengthen its lifting capabilities while maintaining operational flexibility in industrial environments where space constraints are common. The crane will primarily be used in factory assembly and dismantling operations as well as heavy-industry lifting tasks. These applications typically require high lifting performance combined with compact dimensions to maneuver within existing industrial infrastructure. One feature supporting these operations is the RemoteDrive system, which allows the chassis to be moved using a remote control from outside the operator’s cab. This function improves positioning accuracy in confined industrial areas where direct visibility and space for manoeuvring are limited. Performance characteristics of the four-axle crane platform The LTM 1120-4.2 was designed to maximize lifting performance within a four-axle configuration. The crane is equipped with a 66-metre telescopic boom, among the longest in its class, enabling higher lifting capacities particularly at steep boom angles. This configuration allows the crane to perform lifting tasks that might otherwise require larger five-axle mobile cranes. By reducing the need for additional transport units, the design can lower logistical complexity and transportation costs for certain lifting operations. Two established Liebherr technologies expand the operational envelope of the crane: VarioBase, a variable outrigger support system that allows asymmetric outrigger positioning depending on available space. VarioBallast, which enables adjustment of the ballast radius to adapt the crane’s counterweight configuration to site conditions. These systems improve lifting performance and safety when working in restricted areas commonly encountered in industrial construction projects. Digital crane control and road safety systems The LTM 1120-4.2 is equipped with the LICCON3 control system, the latest generation of Liebherr’s crane control platform. The system integrates operational control, monitoring, and safety functions for lifting operations. The crane also includes the oil-cooled TraXon DynamicPerform starting clutch, designed to provide smooth and wear-resistant starting performance for heavy vehicles operating under high loads. Additional driver assistance systems support road safety when the crane travels between job sites. Industrial contractor with engineering and crane services Founded in 1976 in Karamürsel in the Kocaeli region of Turkey, Pınarbaşı operates in mechanical engineering, steel construction, and the manufacture of technical equipment. The company provides services including stainless steel and pressure-vessel fabrication, technological piping systems, steel structures, plant assembly, and specialized crane operations. With a focus on modern production equipment and Industry 4.0 practices, the company supports large-scale industrial projects requiring integrated engineering and heavy lifting capabilities. Mobile crane manufacturing in Ehingen The crane was delivered from Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH in Germany, one of the company’s main manufacturing sites for mobile and crawler cranes. The facility produces mobile cranes ranging from 35-tonne two-axle models to heavy-duty cranes with lifting capacities up to 1,200 tonnes. Crawler and lattice-boom cranes from the same product line can reach lifting capacities of up to 3,000 tonnes. The Ehingen site employs approximately 5,000 people and generated revenue of €3.19 billion in 2024. The Liebherr Group, founded in 1949 in Kirchdorf an der Iller, Germany, operates more than 150 companies worldwide and reported consolidated sales exceeding €14 billion in 2024.
