Liebherr LTM 1070 Mobile Crane

Built by Richard Payn in January 2026

Later photos show the completed model, including close-ups of the main bearing.

Features include:

  • All-wheel steering with three different modes.
  • Working outriggers with motorised jacks.
  • Five section telescopic jib.

The model has 16 motors, creating quite a wiring challenge.

Earlier photos show the work in progress.

Hello Richard,

I am a Meccano enthusiast living in New Zealand and have just found your incredible model mobile crane on the net. Have you by any chance made detailed plans of it? If so, I would love to get a copy.

Regards,

Derek
