	Seeing as I work for this company and we service/sell them, I thought I should give you all a peeky. We have one of these in for a service.. Some spiel too... The eight-axle LTM 1500-8.1 is equipped with a 7-section, 84 m telescopic boom, the longest telescopic boom in the world. The lifting capacities are increased considerably due to the jib-suspension. The lattice jib, reaching lengths of up to 91 m, extends the operating range of the 500-tonner to 145 m hoisting height and 108 m reach. max. lifting capacity 500t at 3m radius Telescopic boom 16.1 - 84m Lattice jib 14 - 9m Carrier engine/output Liebherr, 8-cylinder, turbo-Diesel, 500 kW Crane engine/output Liebherr, 6-cylinder, turbo-Diesel, 240 kW Drive/steering 16 x 8 x 12 Travel speed 50 mph Operational weight 96t Total counterweight 165t Oh and an added thought for you... never EVER have one of these behind you on a hill. Braking effeicency of around 30% on drum brakes all round!

	Flip me - that is mega!! Look at the size of the boom!! - An 84m extension you say? That is very impressive. I think you'd struggle to thread that through Kimbolton! I love specialist vehicles like this

	There is an LTM1800 around. I think there are only 3 of these in the country though. The picture really doesn't show exactly how big this is. The black skirting above the wheels is almost on eye level and you can actually walk inside the boom albeit slightly in the style of Alice In Wonderland.
