LJP Construction, a Quebec-based expert in complex and high-rise formwork, is adding a new Liebherr LTR 1150 telescopic crawler crane to its fleet.
LJP Construction has been a Liebherr customer since 2009 and now has about 21 tower cranes, 12 mobile cranes, a crawler crane and other products from the group such as concrete pumps, wheel loaders and telescopic handlers.
The company’s new telescopic crawler crane will enable increased flexibility and performance on construction sites.
“We already have an LTR 1060 and we’re very happy with it. To handle the growing demands, however, the 150-tonne crane is going to be the perfect addition to our fleet,” said Axel Côté, Operations Manager at LJP Construction. “Thanks to impressive load charts, it can carry out a wide range of tasks and yet is compact and flexible when it comes to moving around on site. The crane is perfect for our jobs.”
Liebherr introduced the LTR 1150 in 2023. The powerful and flexible crane features cost-effective transport options and impresses with state-of-the-art technological features.
The VarioBase system determines the best possible lifting capacity in real time, depending on the fixed track width and variable rotation angle. This results in significant lifting capacity benefits, particularly for large radii and reduced track widths.

“When Liebherr launched the LTR 1150 onto the market, we instantly knew that it would fit our fleet perfectly,” Côté said. “The integration of VarioBase technology from the LTM series is a key factor behind our purchase.”
LJP Construction operates on construction sites in the Montreal region. Côté is proud of his company, which now employs more than 400 people and has built an excellent reputation for complex and tall formwork. Côté explained Liebherr and LJP Construction share a similar business approach.
“Liebherr — like us — is a family-run firm. We truly believe that Liebherr manufactures the best products in many sectors and we are inspired by the company’s quality and efficiency,” he said. “What’s more, the personal contact and support from the Liebherr team is incredibly valuable.”
