Press releases | 05/02/2024 The long arm of Garzweiler: Liebherr RT crane at RWE

  • New LRT 1130-2.1 rough terrain crane from Wasel's fleet proves its worth in open-cast mining operations
  • LRT 1130-2.1 plays key role in replacing a 30-tonne drive unit in a conveyor system
  • Permanent availability of mobile cranes is essential in open-cast mines

The gigantic Garzweiler open-cast coal mine (RWE Power AG) is the new "habitat" of the new, powerful Liebherr LRT 1130-2.1 rough terrain crane owned by crane hire company Wasel. Together with the smaller LRT 1100-2.1, it is used daily for repair and maintenance work on conveyor systems and large open-cast mining equipment. A spectacular job called for the high-performance rough terrain crane in March 2024.

A Liebherr LRT 1130-2.1 carries out light work on a large belt transfer station. Thanks to the 60-metre telescopic boom, the crane can cover a very large working area without needing to be moved.
