Slew drives
Liebherr slew drives
Benefit from high power density, easy installation, high serviceability and top consulting services. Decades of experience in the manufacture of high-quality components form the basis of Liebherr slew drives; a product whose elements are in perfect interplay with each other.
Great power in a small space
Profit from maximum torque at minimum Installation space. Thanks to decades of experience and superior technical know-how, our slew drives offer an optimum balance between load capacity and torque. Benefit from more torque per Euro and room now.
Plug & Play
Liebherr slew drives are ready-to-operate, self-contained closed units.
Tighten the screws, ready and go. This saves time and money.
Low2no maintenance
Liebherr slew drives are extremely low in service and fail-safe. Cost-intensive maintenance and machine failures are minimized and your total costs of ownership optimized.
Worm gear slew drives
The compact worm gear slew drives are characterized by their high power density. The worm teeth ensure that the torque is transmitted to the slewing ring. As a result, this design is particularly suitable when high forces are involved and limited installation space is available, for example in a steering gear for the chassis of crane and other heavy-duty vehicles, in loading cranes or agricultural machines.
Our roller bearing worm slew drives with roller bearings are particularly well suited for heavy-duty applications, as they can transmit especially high torque and tilting moments as well as loads in small installation spaces.
Product characteristics
- Maximum torque
- Low2no maintenance
- Long life span
- Small installation space
- Ease of service
- Prestressed career system
- Application-specific backlash
- Classification according to common standards
Signature line
Signature is our Liebherr premium product line. These products are specially designed for you and are tailored to your needs. This makes Liebherr one of the few competitors in the field of slew drives, to offer tailor-made bespoke solution in addition to standard solutions. Learn more about product features and services such as

Spur gear slew drives
Liebherr spur gear slew drives are characterized by their high efficiency and robustness. It is driven by a motor with a downstream gearbox and one or more sprockets. This design impresses with its high level of efficiency and is therefore particularly suitable for applications with a high duty cycle, such as small cranes, grabs or turning devices.
Product characteristics
- High power and snapshot
- Excellent efficiency
- Very good endurance properties
- Application-optimised bearing play
- Easy to service
- Low2no maintenance
- Classification in accordance with common standards

Belt slew drives
Liebherr belt slew drives are characterized by positive power transmission using a toothed belt and pulley. Thanks to very high efficiency at high peripheral speeds, toothed belt slew drives are often used in stationary industrial applications, in robot technology as well as in transport and conveyor technology. In these applications, their low-noise operation and ease of maintenance is particularly impressive.
In certain applications, Liebherr belt slew drives are even completely maintenance-free.
Product characteristics
- High speed range
- Very good endurance properties
- Low2no maintenance
- Low noise
- Long life spam
- Small installation space
- Classification in accordance with common standards

Example applications
Steering gearboxes
As steering gearboxes, for example in mobile harbour cranes or heavy goods transporters, slew drives can transfer high torques in confined spaces.
Attachment tools
Convincing arguments to equip rotating attachment tools with slew drives are their compact design and ease of servicing.
Boom arms
Slew drives are particularly suited to the precise positioning of boom arms. The ready-to-install plug & play solution can be fitted and brought into service with ease, even where installation space is constrained.
Your application. Our solutions.
