Hi!

I found this crane yesterday, and since I am no good at the smaller Liebherr cranes I was hoping anyone here would help me IDing it?
I think it is a LR1160, but I am not sure.

Im no expert by far but looks like a LR1100 to me.

Dont flame me if I am wrong though!

EDIT:
One thing on it has convinced me it is the LR1100...Smiley

Can anyone else see what it is that pretty much confirms it?

I'm Certainly not an expert either. Usually says on the side if the crane somewhere? Surprised this one does not. I think ya'll are on the right track regarding the size. However, I do like the little roller skates on the tip of the jibTeeth Cool . Thanks for posting. Always enjoy looking.

I would say a 1280 seeing as the LR1100 is a telescopic Hydraulic crane and not a lattice boom!!!!

And no I don't see what you mean!!

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

wrong!! there is such a thing as a LR1100 have a look at liebherrs website before you shoot the poor guy down.

and yes there is also the LTR1100 which you do correctly identify as being Hydraulic.

It's not a 1280, the tracks are much smaller, it's a 1100 or 1130

I would say a LR 1130, it looks even to small to be a LR1160
Nice pics, get some more, if you can get close the serial plate is on the side of the cab, that would clear up all the guessing.

Two wrong Wink

1280 looks very different, especially the crawlers. And LR 1100 is a lattice boom. What you are talking about is LTR 1100

LR: Liebherr Raupenkran
LTR: Liebherr Telescopic Raupenkran

Edit: This is what a 1280 looks like, compare the crawlers:

its gotta be the ballast,one large slab as appose to the 1280's 3 large slabs

nice pics! thanks for sharing

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

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.

Here is some photo's of a LR1100 at the Docklands in Melbourne swinging pre stressed concrete piles.









This may help or hinder. The ballast slab don't project from the side of this Lr1100. But the photo's post at the start are not a LR1280 as the configuration of the car body and cab are different.

Yup, I'd say 1160. It has different counterweights compared to 1100, and a little bit more counterweight than 1130.

That's impossible. Even the crane in your picture is not an 1130.

The maximum counterweight an 1130 can have is 50,9t. Then it looks like this:

Ha, then I guess that is what I get for trusting the "internet" Teeth

The Ulferts and Wittrock website only lists them having a 1130...but I couldn't read most of it...

here is a LR 1160



LTR 1100

LR1200 sx



Just to clear up what these cranes look like.
I am sticking with my original guess of LR 1130

Jason, thanks for the pics. If I compare the LR1160 in your pics with "my" crane then there are some diffrences.

And comparing to AlvinB's pics then I to belive it to be a 1130.

I still dont think its anything other than the 1100 Smile

Two things that I have seen on it now make me believe its the smaller model rather than one of its bigger brothers.

No expert and would like to know for sure but as I said...my moneys on the 1100 Smile
