80- and 90-ton models strengthen the manufacturer’s presence in infrastructure, industrial construction, and equipment rental applications
Campinas (SP), January 2026 – LiuGong announces the launch in Brazil of
the LTC800T5 and LTC900T5 truck cranes, with maximum lifting capacities of
80 and 90 tons, designed for high-complexity lifting operations. Classified as
truck cranes, the machines were developed to serve applications such as the
assembly of precast concrete structures, industrial projects, shopping centers,
plants, heavy maintenance, oil and gas, as well as support operations in wind
energy projects.
The combination of lifting capacity and ease of mobility makes these models
particularly attractive to rental companies and engineering firms. According to
Flavio Souza, LiuGong Product Manager, the launch responds to a recurring
demand in the Brazilian market. “We already support our customers from the
early stages of a project through to large-scale operations. We have now
completed our portfolio with a fundamental support machine—the truck crane.
With the LTC800T5 and LTC900T5 models, we are able to offer a
comprehensive solution while maintaining LiuGong’s philosophy of robustness
and ease of maintenance,” he states.
Standardized technical architecture with a focus on safety
Both cranes share the same technical platform, a feature that facilitates
maintenance and component interchangeability. Both models are equipped
with a 275 kW Cummins engine, a 10-speed Fast transmission, a four-axle
chassis, 385/95R25 tires, and independent cabins for the truck and the crane,
both fitted with air conditioning.
Equipped with a U-shaped telescopic main boom, the cranes feature five
sections and a maximum reach of 50 meters, setting a new benchmark for the
market. The auxiliary jib, with a length of up to 16 meters, expands versatility in
operations that require greater horizontal reach.
LiuGong chose to offer as standard features items that are often optional in the
market, including an emergency steering pump, which ensures equipment
control in the event of hydraulic failure, and an electric retarder, which enhances
safety on long descents and operations on inclined terrain. The proposal is to
deliver a more complete machine that meets the needs of the most demanding
customers. “Safety is not an option for LiuGong!” emphasizes the product
manager.
Operational control, stability, and precision
The LTC800T5 and LTC900T5 are equipped with a slewing system with dual
hydraulic motors, providing precise movements and smooth braking, reducing
load oscillation during operation. The system is complemented by a WIKA load
moment limiter, with a Portuguese-language interface, outrigger pressure
sensors, an anemometer, a camera at the boom tip, and a camera on the winch
drum to monitor wire rope spooling in real time.
Another key differentiator is the four-wheel steering system, including crab
mode, which reduces the turning radius to approximately 10 meters, facilitating
maneuverability in confined spaces, urban job sites, and industrial areas.
Equipped with counterweights—up to 17.8 tons on the LTC900T5 and 15 tons
on the LTC800T5, the truck cranes are also capable of transporting their own
counterweights over short distances, reducing the need for support trucks in
certain operations and contributing to optimized logistics costs.

Growth strategy and local support
According to Hebert Francisco, Vice President of LiuGong Brazil, the launch of
the truck cranes is aligned with the company’s growth strategy in Brazil. “By
launching the LTC800T5 and LTC900T5 models, we reinforce our commitment
to offering the Brazilian market an increasingly comprehensive portfolio, with
equipment designed for complex applications and supported by a structured
local technical support network. Our focus is to ensure productivity, safety, and
high availability for our customers,” explains Hebert Francisco.
Sales will be carried out through LiuGong’s distributor network in Brazil. In
parallel, the company is already conducting technical maintenance training
across the network, as well as commercial training programs, to ensure the
correct application and operation of the new equipment.
