The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

So the Qball called me this morning on his way to the St Patty's Day parade downtown Chicago and told me that Stevenson had their LTM 1400 set up with luffer, me not having anything better to do in the morning went down there just for all your guys viewing pleasure! crane was tricky to get to!

you European guys are gonna laugh at how many trailers it took to get this thing down here, at least 11 trailers for all the CW's, hooks, pads and luffing gear..... oh and a 3 axle Nelson boom dolly.... you guys would just throw it all on one truck and call it a load.......

no ID Plate (sorry Christian) the crane was down in a hole about 20 ft below street level, wasnt risking throwing my phone down that far for them to get a pic for me.....ENJOY

Qball. Me. Roadtrip..... nothing more to it!

none of the luffing jib is there yet either aside from the reducer... you guys on the other side of the pond would only have like what, 3 trailers to transport the entire rig and all its gear!?

Great pics! Thanks, I never realized the LTM1400 had a removable rear set of outriggers like the grove 7550s. Nice looking crane, and yeah I see 2 counter weights going down the highway all the time around here! Ballast trailer is for what?Think Think Teeth

to be honest i didnt know they did either... Qball called me yesterday and told me they were not attached and i told him he must be mistaken and sure enough he was right.... this must be some sort of option available through Liebherr cause i had no idea they could come off.

this thing is such a sexy crane... we are gonna go back in a few days and watch them set it up

Great pics Dewoc! Those LTM-1400's are sweet cranes!

When ordering a crane (specially one slated for driving in the US) there are a few options to make transporting the crane easier. Removable outriggers is one option! Also if you look at a LTM-1400 from a company in Europe and compare the pictures to the ones you've taken, you should notice that the LTM-1400 is wider then the normal European version of the crane.

Great pics! Applause keep em' comin bud!

Great pictures! The machine looks to be cosmetically well maintained as well although quite new as well.

Stevenson has definitely made their mark in the Chicago area. They have given Gatwood and Central competition in the larger size all terain machines and Central with crawlers. In the latter they seem to have filled the void and updated from where Donald B. McNeal was.

They have a nice facility as well to support their operations.
