Liebherr LTM 1160/1 All Terrain Crane Operator Manual

The LTM 1160/1 is a multi-axle all terrain crane. It drives to site on public roads, then sets up and lifts with its telescopic boom. If a used crane came in without the book in the cab, or a relief operator is taking over, this is the manual that sits behind the seat and answers the "where is that switch" and "what's the setup order" questions.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the controls and instruments, including what the warning lights are telling you.
• Follow the safety rules before you drive, set up or lift.
• Set up on outriggers in the right sequence and prepare for travel when the job is done.
• Plan and run crane operation with the telescopic boom and jib, using the load charts and load moment limiter.
• Carry out the daily checks, lubrication and care that belong to the operator, and keep track of the crane inspections.

Who this is for

Crane operators and relief operators who need the control layout and setup sequence in front of them. Owner-operators and buyers of used cranes also get a lot from it, since it puts the operating rules and daily checks on file with the machine.
