50T All Terrain Crane Hire Melbourne
Liebherr LTM 1050-3.1 | 3-Axle Mobile Crane for Construction, Plant & Steel Lifting
Crane2U provides 50T all terrain crane hire across Melbourne and Regional Victoria using the Liebherr LTM 1050-3.1. This three-axle mobile crane suits commercial construction, structural steel, rooftop plant, machinery installation and project lifting where road mobility, practical site access and mid-range reach are important.
The LTM 1050-3.1 has a manufacturer-rated maximum capacity of 50 tonnes, a 38 m telescopic boom and a maximum hoist height of 54 m with the appropriate jib configuration. Actual lifting capacity reduces as working radius and boom length increase, so every job should be checked against the applicable load chart and site setup.

How much can the LTM 1050-3.1 lift?
Liebherr rates the LTM 1050-3.1 at a maximum load capacity of 50 t. That maximum applies only in specified configurations and at short radius. Capacity at the actual project radius must be confirmed from the load chart.
What is the boom length of the LTM 1050-3.1?
The telescopic boom range is 11.4 m to 38.0 m. The published maximum hoist height is 54 m and maximum radius is 44.0 m in applicable configurations.
What projects suit a 50T all terrain crane?
Typical work includes structural steel, rooftop plant, machinery installation, construction materials and commercial or industrial project lifting where the verified load chart suits the load and radius.
Can Crane2U help select the right crane?
Yes. Send the load details, site address, approximate radius, required height and photos or drawings. Crane2U can compare the lift against the available crane data and recommend a suitable machine.
Do you service outside Melbourne?
Yes. Crane2U services Melbourne and Regional Victoria, with regular coverage across Melbourne’s west and regional centres. Mobilisation depends on the project location and scope.
Should I choose a 50T or 55T crane?
*Choose based on the load chart at the actual radius, not on tonne rating alone. If the 50T class is close to its chart limit or needs more boom/configuration margin, Crane2U may recommend the 55T or 60T option.
