Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1 load chart summary
What the Liebherr LTM 1500-8.1 can lift at each radius on its main boom (84m telescopic boom version), with 165 tonnes of counterweight, outriggers fully extended and 360 degree slewing. Each figure is the highest on the manufacturer load chart at that radius, shown with the main boom length it applies to. The last column gives the load with the boom fully extended to 84m.
