55T All Terrain Crane Hire Melbourne
Liebherr LTM 1055-3.2 | Flexible 3-Axle Crane for Commercial & Industrial Lifting
Crane2U can position the 55T all terrain crane as the middle option in the three-axle range for projects that need more chart capacity than the 50T class while retaining a compact mobile-crane footprint. The recommended Liebherr model for this page is the LTM 1055-3.2, subject to confirmation that this is the actual Crane2U 55T machine.
The LTM 1055-3.2 is manufacturer-rated at 55 tonnes maximum capacity, with a telescopic boom up to 40 m, maximum hoist height up to 56 m and maximum radius up to 46 m. Final machine selection must use the project-specific load chart, boom configuration, counterweight and outrigger setup rather than the headline tonne rating.

How much can the LTM 1055-3.2 lift?
Liebherr rates the LTM 1055-3.2 at a maximum load capacity of 55 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 1055-3.2?
The telescopic boom range is 10.2 m to 40.0 m. The published maximum hoist height is 56 m and maximum radius is 46 m in applicable configurations.
What projects suit a 55T 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.
