Tele-crawler cranes like the Liebherr LTR 1220 or Grove GRT9165 offer optimal mobility and reach for utility-scale solar tracker installations in 2026.

Tele-crawler cranes represent the ideal solution for utility-scale solar tracker installations due to their combination of mobility, reach, and lifting capacity. The Liebherr LTR 1220 and Grove GRT9165 models excel in this application with their ability to navigate soft terrain without outriggers while maintaining precise load control. These cranes typically offer 165-220 foot boom lengths, enabling efficient coverage across solar arrays without frequent repositioning.
