Dominating the skyline at Vertikal Days was a 350 tonne capacity Liebherr
LTM1350-6.1 all terrain crane. This machine was resplendent in the red
livery of East Cork Crane Hire and it will become the Irish company’s
largest crane – its previous flagship was a 250 tonner. East Cork Crane
Hire was founded in 1987 by Tom and Catherine Kelleher to serve the Cork
and Munster areas of the Republic of Ireland.
Making its first appearance at a UK show, the LTM1350-6.1 is equipped
with a 70.0m long main telescopic boom and the Y-suspension capacity
enhancement system. To increase maximum under hook height up to
132.0m, the crane can be rigged with a 78.0m long luffing jib.
The six axle LTM1350-6.1 features the Liebherr LICCON2 crane control
system. Crane set-up is made easier by the use of a Bluetooth terminal
(BTT) which aids deployment of the outriggers and allows the crane
operator to attach and detach the hook block from the front bumper by
remote control. Activation of the telescopic boom luffing ram through the
Bluetooth connection is also possible, as well as attaching the
counterweight and assisting the self-assembly of the Y-suspension system.
Also getting its UK show premier was the 60 tonne capacity LTR1060 telescopic boom crawler crane. This Liebherr
engined machine carries a 40.0m long telescopic boom that can be fitted with a double swing-away jib to increase
maximum lift height to 54.5m.

Bauma was used by Worldlift Industries to change its name to Skako Lift although it will retain its two access platform
brands of Denka and Falcon Spider. The Munich exhibition and the subsequent Vertikal Days were used to display the
latest addition to the Falcon Spider range – the FS320Z which has a maximum working height of 32.0m.
Equipped with articulating lower booms and a telescopic upper boom together with a 110° rotating fly jib, the
FS320Z has a large working envelope. This envelope extends out to provide a maximum outreach of 17.0m with a
cage load of up to 100kg. The maximum cage capacity of 200kg can be extended out 16.0m at a good up-and-over
height of some 10.0m.
The FS320Z weighs 5000kg and, when folded up for transport, it achieves a height of 1.25m, a length of 6.8m and
a width of 1.2-1.5m. The machine is powered by a 18.5kW (24.8hp) Kubota D905-ET01 three-cylinder engine or a
battery pack and, when stowed it can climb slopes with gradients of up to 35%.
Speaking at Vertikal Days where the FS320Z
was displayed by UK access platform supplier
Urban Access, Brian Falck-Schmidt, the Sales and
Marketing Manager of Skako Ltd, said that the
machine has been designed for rental, He reports
that initial sales have been made to rental
companies in Denmark, Finland, Germany and
Switzerland.
