Liebherr D9508 A7 Engine Overhaul in a Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 Mobile Crane
The Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 is an advanced mobile crane designed for demanding lifting operations on construction sites, during industrial structure assembly, and in infrastructure projects. Due to the size of transported loads, the weight of lifted components, and the nature of the work performed, the reliability of the powertrain directly affects work scheduling and operational efficiency. One of the most important components responsible for the machine's performance is the Liebherr D9508 A7 diesel engine.
In heavy mobile cranes, even a gradual deterioration in engine performance can cause significant difficulties in carrying out planned operations. Increased fuel consumption, unstable operation under load, excessive exhaust smoke, or reduced power output are warning signs that should not be ignored. Proper diagnostics make it possible to determine the actual technical condition of the engine and establish the scope of the necessary service work.
WIBAKO specializes in servicing diesel engines used in construction, industrial, and specialist machinery. We perform diagnostics, engine removal from machinery, comprehensive engine overhauls, and reinstallation. An important part of our work is testing engines after repairs on an engine dynamometer, where their performance can be evaluated under controlled load conditions before they are installed in the target machine.
When servicing the Liebherr D9508 A7 engine installed in a Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane, particular attention must be paid to the accurate inspection of components, proper mechanical repairs, and verification of operating parameters after the overhaul. Below, we describe the successive stages of the service process, from initial diagnostics and engine removal to testing and inspection after the machine has been restarted.
Initial Diagnostics of the Liebherr D9508 A7 Engine Before Overhaul
Before starting an engine overhaul, it is necessary to identify the cause of the malfunction. In the case of heavy-duty engines used in mobile cranes, symptoms may indicate mechanical wear, lubrication system problems, irregularities in the combustion process, or faults in auxiliary equipment. Accurate diagnosis reduces the risk of unnecessary repairs and makes it possible to establish the appropriate scope of work.
One possible reason for sending a Liebherr D9508 A7 engine for overhaul is a gradual loss of power accompanied by increased engine oil consumption. Such symptoms may occur in engines with high operating hours where cylinder liners, pistons, piston rings, or other components of the crankshaft-piston assembly have become worn. However, the cause cannot be determined solely from the engine's operating symptoms. Diagnostics and appropriate measurements are required to confirm the suspected fault.
The first step is to assess the overall condition of the engine. The mechanic checks for oil leaks, signs of overheating, and the condition of hoses and connections in the cooling and lubrication systems. Attention is also paid to uneven operation, unusual mechanical noises, and changes in the amount or colour of exhaust smoke. Checking the engine oil and coolant levels is equally important, as their condition may indicate problems affecting engine performance.
If the engine's condition allows further testing, diagnostics can be extended to include compression measurements, lubrication system pressure checks, and an assessment of individual cylinder performance. Depending on the engine design and available testing methods, the fuel system and turbocharger may also be inspected. When mechanical wear is suspected, a cylinder inspection using a borescope can provide additional information.
Combining symptom analysis with measurement results makes it possible to determine whether the problem concerns auxiliary equipment, the fuel system, or internal engine components. If the results indicate significant mechanical wear, further inspection is carried out after the engine has been removed and disassembled. Only then can the condition of individual components be assessed accurately and decisions made about which parts require replacement, reconditioning, or further use.
This approach is particularly important for engines operating in heavy machinery. Comprehensive construction machinery servicing should not be limited to eliminating a single symptom when the underlying cause may be located inside the engine. The purpose of diagnostics is to identify the actual extent of damage and prepare the engine for reliable continued operation.
Removing the Engine from the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 Mobile Crane
Once it has been established that the power unit requires an overhaul, the next stage involves preparing the machine for engine removal. In the case of the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane, this work requires careful planning due to the machine's complex design, the considerable weight of its components, and the need to maintain safe working conditions. Engine removal is carried out using a crane provided by the customer and appropriately prepared to lift and move heavy components.
Before work begins, the machine must be secured against accidental starting, and the work area must be prepared for service operations. The mechanics identify the connections that need to be disconnected and establish the sequence for removing components that restrict access to the engine. Proper work organization reduces the risk of damaging components and makes it easier to restore the correct configuration during reinstallation.
Depending on the machine's design and the accessibility of individual components, electrical connections, cooling system hoses, fuel lines, and intake and exhaust system components are disconnected. Before any installation is separated, the relevant lines and open connections must be properly secured to prevent contaminants from entering the systems. This is particularly important for fuel systems, where even small particles can adversely affect precision components.
The condition of accessible mounting points, hoses, and auxiliary equipment is also checked. Any irregularities noticed during removal should be recorded because they may help identify the cause of the failure or prove relevant when preparing the machine for restart. If connections show signs of leakage, mechanical damage, or previous repairs, they require additional assessment.
Once the engine is prepared for removal, the lifting points and the components remaining in the machine are checked. The engine is disconnected from its mounts in accordance with the established procedure and then carefully lifted out of the engine compartment. During lifting, the mechanics monitor the position of the unit and ensure that it does not catch on hoses, brackets, or other structural components.
After the engine has been safely removed, it can be prepared for transport to WIBAKO's facility in Kojszówka, Poland. There, the unit is placed at a workshop station for detailed technical inspection. This arrangement allows accurate measurements to be taken, the engine to be disassembled into individual components, and its operating parameters to be checked under workshop conditions.
WIBAKO also carries out engine removal and installation as part of its mobile service. This allows the repair process to be adapted to the customer's requirements and the conditions at the machine's operating location. In the case of heavy mobile cranes, it is essential to establish the scope of work in advance, confirm the availability of suitable lifting equipment, and plan the transportation of the engine to the workshop.
Inspection of Liebherr D9508 A7 Engine Components in the Workshop
Once the engine has been delivered to the workshop, a detailed assessment of its technical condition begins. The purpose is to confirm the cause of the failure, determine the degree of wear of individual components, and establish whether they can be reused after appropriate preparation. For the Liebherr D9508 A7, a comprehensive approach is essential because wear affecting one component can influence the condition of other engine parts.
The first step is to assess the external condition of the engine and its accessible auxiliary components. The engine is then disassembled, and the individual parts are prepared for thorough cleaning and measurement. Removing oil deposits, carbon deposits, and other contaminants makes it easier to identify wear, cracks, scratches, and signs of overheating. The inspection is carried out in stages to ensure that damage affecting the engine's durability after the overhaul is not overlooked.
The crankshaft-piston assembly is one of the most important areas to inspect. The condition of the pistons, piston rings, cylinder liners, connecting rods, and bearings is checked. The mechanics examine working surfaces for excessive friction, discolouration, and possible mechanical damage. Appropriate measurements are taken to compare actual dimensions with the technical requirements for the engine. Based on these results, a decision is made as to whether a component can be reused or must be replaced.
The crankshaft is inspected separately. Its surfaces are assessed, the main and connecting rod journals are measured, runout is checked, and the oil passages are inspected. Particular attention is paid to signs of overheating, scoring, and other evidence of improper interaction with the bearings. If measurements show that the crankshaft is outside the permitted limits, the possibility of suitable machining or the need for replacement must be determined.
The connecting rods are also inspected. The mechanics check their general condition, looking for cracks, signs of overheating, and deformation. Depending on the scope of the inspection, geometric measurements and assessments of mating surfaces are carried out. The correct condition of the connecting rods is important for stable engine operation, particularly during prolonged operation under load.
The cylinder heads undergo a separate inspection. Their surfaces, valve seats, guides, and valves are examined. Depending on the design and the results of the initial inspection, pressure or leak testing is performed to identify possible cracks and other damage. The mechanics also look for signs of overheating and inspect the surfaces that mate with the engine block.
If the initial diagnostics indicate potential fuel system problems, the components responsible for correct fuel delivery are inspected. Depending on the engine design and equipment, this may include the injectors and injection pump. Components requiring specialist examination are sent to appropriate test benches. This makes it possible to evaluate their condition and determine whether they can be reused.
The inspection also covers the turbocharger, starter motor, alternator, and other auxiliary equipment. Mechanical condition, clearances in rotating components, visible damage, and signs of wear are assessed. Faults in auxiliary equipment can affect starting, power output, operating temperature, and the overall reliability of the engine.
Once the measurements are complete, a list is prepared of the components requiring replacement, reconditioning, or further inspection. The repair scope should be based on the actual technical condition of the engine rather than solely on the suspected cause of failure. This approach helps plan the Liebherr D9508 A7 engine overhaul accurately and reduces the risk of the same problem recurring after the engine has been reinstalled in the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane.
Reconditioning and Repair of the Liebherr D9508 A7 Engine
Once the inspection has been completed, the actual engine overhaul can begin. The scope of work depends on the measurement results and the condition of individual components. The objective is to restore the engine's correct operating parameters, ensure appropriate lubrication and cooling, and prepare the unit for continued operation in the demanding working environment of a mobile crane.
Repair of the Crankshaft-Piston Assembly
The crankshaft-piston assembly converts the energy generated during fuel combustion into the rotational movement of the crankshaft. Its condition directly affects engine power, operating stability, and durability. Wear affecting pistons, piston rings, cylinder liners, or bearings can result in reduced compression, increased oil consumption, and deteriorating engine performance.
During the overhaul, the components of the crankshaft-piston assembly are assessed based on measurement results. The pistons are inspected for surface wear, mechanical damage, and the condition of their ring grooves. Cylinder liners are measured to assess their dimensions, ovality, taper, and working surface condition. Piston rings and bearings are checked for wear and compatibility with the other components.
The crankshaft undergoes detailed dimensional inspection. Depending on its condition, specialist machining may be required, provided that the technical specifications and permitted repair procedures allow it. Particular attention is paid to maintaining the correct journal dimensions and clearances between mating components. An incorrectly prepared crankshaft can cause lubrication problems, excessive friction, and accelerated bearing wear.
Connecting rods are prepared for reassembly only after their condition has been confirmed. If damage or deformation is identified, the appropriate solution must comply with the engine manufacturer's technical requirements. During assembly, particular attention is paid to the cleanliness of working surfaces, proper assembly lubrication, and compliance with the specified tightening torques.
The selection of replacement parts must take the exact engine variant into account. For engines used in heavy machinery, the manufacturer's name alone is not sufficient for correct identification. The engine designation, serial number, and compatibility of individual components are also important. A properly executed crankshaft-piston assembly overhaul provides a foundation for further engine operation and helps reduce the risk of serious mechanical damage.
Inspection and Reconditioning of Cylinder Heads
The cylinder heads are responsible for correct valve train operation and maintaining the sealing of the combustion chambers. Their condition affects the combustion process, engine power, and overall efficiency. During the overhaul, particular attention is paid to mating surfaces, valves, guides, and valve seats.
After cleaning, the cylinder heads undergo visual inspection and the necessary measurements. Depending on their design and condition, pressure or leak testing is carried out to identify cracks and other damage. The clearances of valve train components and the condition of mating surfaces are also checked. If a cylinder head shows signs of overheating, its suitability for further use must be assessed particularly carefully.
Cylinder head reconditioning may include resurfacing, replacement of valve guides and valves, and preparation of valve seats in accordance with technical requirements. The exact scope of work is determined by the inspection results. Not every component can be repaired, so severely damaged parts may need to be replaced.
After the work has been completed, the cylinder heads are checked again to confirm that the reconditioning has been carried out correctly. During subsequent assembly, it is essential to maintain cleanliness, use appropriate seals, and follow the specified tightening sequence. This helps reduce the risk of leaks and ensures correct interaction between the cylinder heads and the other components of the Liebherr D9508 A7 engine.
Inspection of the Fuel System and Auxiliary Equipment
Correct fuel system operation is essential for stable engine performance and appropriate combustion parameters. Fuel delivery problems can cause uneven running, excessive exhaust smoke, increased fuel consumption, or reduced power. During an overhaul, the fuel system components must therefore be checked according to the diagnostic findings and the engine's design.
If the inspection indicates problems with the injectors or injection pump, these components may require additional testing on specialist equipment. The results make it possible to determine whether their parameters fall within the required range. Components that do not meet the requirements should be repaired, reconditioned, or replaced in accordance with the applicable technical recommendations.
The turbocharger is also inspected. The mechanics check shaft clearances, the condition of the impellers, and visible signs of damage. The inspection also includes the oil supply and return lines because inadequate turbocharger lubrication can lead to premature wear. Depending on the results, the necessary repair work is determined.
The starter motor, alternator, and remaining auxiliary equipment are also checked. The starter must provide reliable engine starting, while the alternator must ensure correct charging of the electrical system. Inspecting these components before installation helps reduce the risk of additional problems after the engine has been fitted to the crane.
All components intended for reuse must be clean, serviceable, and compliant with the applicable technical requirements. This approach helps prevent situations in which an engine that has undergone a comprehensive overhaul still fails to achieve the correct operating parameters because of faulty auxiliary equipment or an improperly functioning fuel system.
Professional Engine Assembly After Overhaul
Once all repair work has been completed, the engine is reassembled. This stage requires a high level of precision because even small contaminants, incorrect clearances, or improperly installed seals can adversely affect the durability of the power unit. All components must be prepared in accordance with the technical requirements and thoroughly checked before the relevant assemblies are closed.
During assembly of the crankshaft-piston assembly, the correct positioning of individual components, the condition of mating surfaces, and the required assembly clearances are checked. The crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, piston rings, and bearings must be installed in the correct sequence. Particular attention is paid to tightening torques and compliance with the applicable assembly procedures.
The cylinder heads, valve train components, and remaining engine parts are then installed. Seals that are scheduled for replacement as part of the overhaul are replaced with new ones. Before individual assemblies are closed, the mechanics check that all surfaces are clean and that no contaminants remain in the oil passages or other working areas.
After the auxiliary equipment has been installed, the completeness of the mechanical assembly and the engine's readiness for initial testing are checked. The mechanics verify that the engine can be rotated correctly and inspect the accessible components of the lubrication and cooling systems. Proper preparation at this stage is essential for safely starting the engine during testing.
A comprehensive Liebherr D9508 A7 engine overhaul involves more than simply replacing worn parts. Compliance with assembly procedures, accurate measurements, and verification of component interaction are equally important. This approach prepares the engine for dynamometer testing, where its performance can be assessed under controlled load conditions.
Testing the Liebherr D9508 A7 Engine on an Engine Dynamometer
One of the important stages of a comprehensive engine overhaul is testing the engine on an engine dynamometer. For power units intended for heavy construction and specialist machinery, load testing makes it possible to evaluate engine performance under controlled conditions before the engine is reinstalled in the target machine. WIBAKO uses dynamometer testing as part of its post-overhaul engine verification process, extending the inspection beyond a standard workshop start-up.
The fact that an engine starts does not necessarily mean that it is fully prepared for continued operation. A unit may run without obvious irregularities at idle while still developing problems when the load increases. Dynamometer testing is therefore intended to verify engine operation under different conditions and monitor its key operating parameters.
Once the engine has been prepared for testing, the systems required for safe operation are checked. These include the engine oil level, cooling system condition, tightness of accessible connections, and correct installation of measuring equipment. Before the engine is subjected to load, it is essential to confirm that all necessary safeguards are in place and that the test station is prepared to handle a power unit of the relevant output.
Testing begins at a low load. Under the adopted procedure, an overhauled engine should complete an initial running-in period of at least 16 operating hours at a relatively light load of approximately 20-30% of its nominal rating. During this period, the engine operates under less demanding conditions, allowing its behaviour to be monitored and its basic parameters assessed. Particular attention is paid to temperature, oil pressure, engine speed stability, and possible signs of leakage.
During the initial running-in period, the technicians monitor unusual noises, temperature changes, and any symptoms that could indicate a problem. The lubrication and cooling systems are also checked. If any concerning symptoms occur, the test should be stopped and the cause identified before testing continues.
After the initial stage has been completed, and provided that the engine maintains the required operating parameters, testing can continue at higher loads. The load is increased gradually while the engine's response to changing operating conditions is monitored. Where possible, stability is checked at different load levels and during extended operation. Repeated tests help determine whether the engine maintains the required parameters without developing irregularities.
Monitoring oil pressure and operating temperature is particularly important during testing. These parameters provide information about the performance of the lubrication and cooling systems, and changes may indicate the need for further inspection. Depending on the test equipment and engine specifications, speed, power output, and torque may also be analysed. The results must be interpreted with reference to the technical data for the specific engine and the conditions under which the test was performed.
The dynamometer also makes it possible to assess how the engine responds to changes in load. In a correctly prepared unit, the operating parameters should change in a stable and predictable manner consistent with the engine's performance characteristics. Sudden speed drops, abnormal temperature changes, or unstable oil pressure require further diagnostics. Depending on the symptoms, the fuel system, turbocharger, cooling system, or mechanical components may need additional inspection.
Monitoring the tightness of connections during operation is also important. Connections that appear secure when the engine is stationary may require further inspection after the unit reaches operating temperature. For this reason, accessible connections are monitored during testing, and any signs of leakage are investigated. Every irregularity must be assessed before the test can be considered complete.
For an engine intended for the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane, proper preparation for load testing is particularly important because of the machine's operating requirements. A mobile crane must be ready to perform tasks that demand a reliable and properly functioning power unit. Testing the engine before installation makes it possible to assess its behaviour under conditions that cannot be fully reproduced during a short idle test.
The dynamometer is also a useful tool for evaluating the quality of the work performed. If deviations from the expected parameters occur during testing, additional diagnostics can be carried out before the engine is released for installation. This reduces the risk of installing the engine in the machine only to discover that it must be removed again because of problems detected during operation.
After testing, the test procedure and the recorded parameters are analysed. The engine can be prepared for installation only when the results do not indicate the need for further repairs. It should be remembered that a dynamometer assesses engine performance under controlled conditions but does not replace testing in the target machine. Combining workshop testing with correct installation and post-start-up inspections provides a more complete assessment of the engine's readiness for operation.
WIBAKO considers dynamometer testing an important part of comprehensive diesel engine overhauls. This approach makes it possible to check the unit before it returns to service and provides an additional level of assurance for the customer. For specialist machinery such as the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1, post-overhaul verification is particularly important because of the high demands placed on reliability and operational continuity.
Installing the Engine in the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 Mobile Crane
After the overhaul has been completed and the engine has successfully passed dynamometer testing, the Liebherr D9508 A7 can be prepared for reinstallation in the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane. Installation is one of the most important stages of the entire service process because even a correctly overhauled engine must be fitted properly and connected to all the machine's systems. The accuracy of this work affects the safety of the initial start-up and the subsequent operation of the crane.
Before installation begins, the machine must be prepared and the condition of the components that will work with the engine must be checked. The inspection covers mounting points, mating surfaces, accessible hoses, and connections belonging to the cooling, lubrication, fuel, and intake systems. If damage or excessive wear was identified during removal, it must be assessed before the power unit is installed. This helps prevent the engine from being connected to systems that could adversely affect its operation.
The engine is moved using a crane provided by the customer. Before lifting, the lifting points and handling equipment are checked to ensure they are suitable for the operation. As the unit is lowered into the engine compartment, the mechanics monitor its position and clearance from surrounding structural components. The operation requires care because limited installation space increases the risk of damaging hoses, brackets, or other components.
Once the engine has been positioned correctly, its mounts are installed. The mechanics ensure that the unit is seated properly and that all mounting components are fitted in accordance with the technical requirements. Incorrect engine positioning can create additional stress, vibration, or problems with interaction between components of the powertrain. For this reason, this stage must be completed accurately rather than rushed.
The mechanical and system connections are then restored. Cooling hoses, fuel lines, electrical connections, and components of the lubrication and intake systems are connected. Every connection must match the configuration of the specific machine. The mechanics pay attention to correct hose routing, protection against abrasion, and adequate clearance from moving parts and surfaces that may reach high temperatures.
The intake system requires particular attention. Air intake pipes and hoses must be checked for cracks, deformation, and leaks. Damaged intake components can cause engine performance problems and allow contaminants to enter the system. If any irregularities are found, an appropriate repair must be completed before the engine is started.
The cooling system connections are also inspected. Hoses and fittings must be properly seated and in suitable condition for operation at working temperature. Once the coolant has been replenished and the system prepared, its tightness is checked. If a leak is detected, further testing must not begin until the problem has been resolved.
Fuel lines and electrical connections require the same level of attention. The fuel system must be leak-free, and all lines must be connected correctly. Electrical connectors, wiring harness supports, and connections required for the proper operation of control systems are also checked. Careful attention to these details helps reduce the risk of starting problems or irregular engine operation after installation.
After all connections have been restored, a comprehensive installation check is carried out. The mechanics inspect the engine mounts, accessible hoses, auxiliary equipment connections, and potential leakage points. Before the first start-up, the engine must also be prepared in accordance with the applicable service procedure, including verification of fluid levels and proper preparation of the lubrication system.
The first start-up takes place under the supervision of service technicians. During the initial phase, the starting process, engine stability, and basic operating parameters are monitored. Oil pressure, engine temperature, and cooling system performance are checked. The mechanics also look for unusual noises, excessive vibration, fluid leaks, or other symptoms that could indicate a problem.
Once the engine has reached stable operation, the tightness of its connections is checked. This includes accessible components of the cooling, fuel, and lubrication systems, as well as the air intake connections. As the engine warms up, the mechanics reassess areas where temperature changes may affect sealing. If any concerning symptoms appear, the engine must be switched off and the cause investigated thoroughly.
Cooperation with the machine operator during functional testing is an important part of the installation process. Once the basic engine parameters have been checked, further tests can be carried out in accordance with the crane's operating procedures. The operator and service technicians observe the machine's behaviour, paying attention to engine stability and its response to changing operating conditions. The scope of testing must take account of safety requirements and the specific characteristics of the mobile crane.
Post-installation testing should not be limited to a brief stationary start-up. It is necessary to verify that the engine maintains the correct parameters after reaching operating temperature and that no irregularities appear when the load changes. During this stage, the service technicians also inspect accessible connections and check for signs of leakage or abnormal operation in the machine's systems.
After the tests have been completed, documentation is prepared describing the work performed and the assessment of the engine's operation. If all required checks are successful and the engine operates correctly, the installation stage can be completed. The installation report forms an important part of the service documentation and records the work carried out.
Correct installation of the Liebherr D9508 A7 engine in the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 therefore involves much more than simply positioning the engine in its compartment. It requires inspection of the mounting points, accurate reconnection of the systems, verification of tightness, and functional testing with the operator. A comprehensive approach to these tasks helps prepare the machine for further operation and reduces the risk of downtime caused by installation errors.
Post-Overhaul Engine Maintenance and Service Recommendations
After the overhaul has been completed and the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane has been restarted, the recommended service schedule must be followed. The first operating hours are particularly important for assessing the quality of the repairs and installation. Regular inspections make it possible to identify potential irregularities at an early stage, before they develop into more serious problems.
WIBAKO recommends carrying out the first inspection after 50 operating hours following the engine's restart after overhaul. This inspection can be performed by our service technicians, who check not only the filters and operating fluids but also the overall performance of the engine and its connections to the machine's other components. This makes it possible to assess how the engine performs under actual operating conditions after the workshop work has been completed.
During the 50-hour inspection, the engine oil, filters, and accessible connections are checked. The mechanics look for leaks, inspect hoses and mounting points, and assess the operation of the cooling and lubrication systems. They also check for symptoms that could indicate improper interaction between components after the overhaul. If necessary, the inspection can be extended to include additional diagnostics based on observations of engine performance.
The first inspection is important because some problems may only become apparent after the machine has returned to normal operation. Variable loads, ambient temperature, and operating time all affect engine conditions. For this reason, it is advisable to inspect the unit after the initial period of use rather than relying solely on the checks performed immediately after installation.
After the first inspection, further checks are recommended every 250 operating hours, but at intervals of no more than three months. The schedule should also comply with the engine and machine manufacturers' requirements and take operating conditions into account. When the machine operates intensively in demanding environments, it is particularly important to monitor engine oil levels, operating temperature, system tightness, and filter condition.
The operator should pay attention to any changes in engine behaviour. A sudden loss of power, increased oil consumption, unusual noises, excessive exhaust smoke, or visible leaks require investigation. An early response can limit the scope of any necessary repairs and help prevent extended machine downtime.
WIBAKO provides diesel engine servicing and construction machinery maintenance, including workshop repairs and mobile service. If an inspection, diagnostic assessment, or repair is required, our team can help establish the scope of work and arrange a suitable service date. Regular maintenance after an overhaul is an important part of maintaining the condition of the Liebherr D9508 A7 engine and the Liebherr LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane as a whole.
