Pretty neat concept but would this only be limited to just the LTR1220?

I recall Breuer + Wasel doing something similar, about 10 years ago. It was their LR 1750 (soon to be sold to Thoemen, if I recall) using a 4- or 5-axle LTM as derrick ballast for raising the boom. There was a nice set of pictures on Hansebube.

It was used to decrease the truck loads in extra CW to the site. Very cool Liebherr is using it with factory support

Thanks for validating my foggy memory.
The bulldozer ballast is a different story!

OSHA would say "Show me that you have calculated the heaviest pick at the farthest radius, and then show me a manufacturer's load chart that meets those requirements. Then show me that you have the correct piece of equipment, properly maintained and verified, and that it's being used by a licensed operator, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions." If all of those conditions are met, and nothing goes wrong, then they wouldn't have anything else to say.
