The LTM 1130-5.1 has a 60-metre telescopic boom, which can be extended with a 10.8-m to 19-m swing-away fly jib and additionally with two lattice sections, each 7 m long. The swing-away fly jib has hydraulic adjustment as an option. The load can be moved under full load. With a maximum axle load of 12 t, the new 130-tonne crane carries with it up to 9 t of ballast, and is capable of performing a variety of operations without any additional ballast. The large number of additional ballast variations and the variable jib system afford the new Liebherr mobile crane excellent flexibility of use.

Air-operated disc brakes, pioneered by Liebherr in mobile cranes, ensure that the new 130-tonne crane also operates safely and economically. They offer considerably improved braking performance, which is not impaired even at high braking temperatures. In comparison with conventional drum brakes, they have a significantly longer useful working life, which also means that they are more economical. Further advantages are the ease and speed with which the brake linings can be changed and the fact that they are fitted with wear indicators.
