A 750t Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 crane has been used by German crane company Kran Saller to erect wind turbine towers.

The project, at the Berngerode wind farm at Schlitz, involved erecting the towers for 2.5MW wind turbines manufactured by GE. The crane was equipped with a Y-guying system and a 35m luffing jib.

Liebherr upgrades flat-top crane
Liebherr has introduced its 172 EC-B 8 Litronic flat-top crane, based on the established 160 EC-B model.

The new model also features a new jib erection concept. The load hook and trolley remain on the jib pivot section during transport, eliminating erection work for the trolley. The hoist and trolley travelling ropes can also be easily reeved, a particular benefit when erecting the … [Read more...]
Liebherr crawler completes steep Alps
A Liebherr LTR 1060 crawler crane has tackled the 40% gradients of the Swiss Alps to extend a railway tunnel. Switzerland-based crane company Clausen Kran used the LTR 1060 to navigate the steep inclines and tight bends at an altitude of 2,020m, to extend a tunnel on the Gornergrat railway in Zermatt, in the Wallis region of Switzerland. The tunnel is being extended to allow a ski run to be built over it, which will host FIS (International Ski Federation) events. The LTR 1060 completed the 920m route -- which had an ascent of 180m -- … [Read more...]
Liebherr turns assist crane into ballast
Liebherr has introduced a new boom erection concept for crawler cranes, which allows an auxiliary crane to replace the majority of the assembly ballast. The new approach should work particularly well on wind farms, where large amounts of counterweights is needed just to raise the boom, and ballast trailers transport is difficult and expensive. The German company developed the approach for its LR 1600/2 crawler cranes, for applications handling wind farm components that require long booms. In a demonstration given by Liebherr at its … [Read more...]

Updated Liebherr cranes extend boom reach
Rieger & Moser has replaced two existing cranes in its fleet with new Liebherr mobile cranes, both with longer telescopic booms.

This will enable many jobs to be completed without the installation of a folding jib, reducing crane erection time. Also added was a 95t LTM 1095-5.1 mobile crane with a 58m telescopic boom, hook height of 82m and working radii of up to 60m. This replaces … [Read more...]

Liebherr takes to the Autobahn
German crane company Autokranverleih Pengel has used its new 220t Liebherr LTM 1220-5.2 mobile crane at a motorway construction project. The LTM 1220-5.2 replaced Pengel's LTM 1160/2, previously the largest crane in the company's fleet. The greater load capacity of the LTM 1220-5.2 was one of the reasons for the acquisition, said the company.
