Can a Liebherr LTM 1800 operate as a LG 1550?
Yes. Since the base machine is (nearly) identical in both cases, a Liebherr LTM1800 can operate as a LG1550, if the lattice mast parts are present. For the other way around however (i.e. a LG 1550 as an LTM 1800), a change in the upper carriage hydraulics is required. Crane operators Thmen, Buller and Ainscough UK all have lattice masts and telescopic booms which can be used alternatively, depending on the job that is being undertaken.
