The LTM 1500-8.1 has been taken with top specification and optional extras including reversing camera. The seven-section, electronically controlled main boom extends to 84m and is augmented by a 91m luffing lattice fly jib. The fly jib can be attached at inclinations of 83°, 75° and 67°.

Maximum hook height is 145m and it can lift loads out to a radius of 108m.

The crane also uses Liebherr’s Y-boom guying system to give the boom added lateral stability when at angles close to vertical. It gives the crane added capacity at both reach and height.
