TCC 78000 installs the largest offshore crane Liebherr has ever built

The time has come. The Travelling Cargo Crane (TCC) 78000 installs the Heavy Lift Crane (HLC) 295000 on the vessel Orion. The TCC, a rail-mounted gantry crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 1,600 tonnes, is being used at the Liebherr site in Rostock for internal and external logistics processes. These include production processes, initial assembly and dispatch of ever larger maritime cranes as well as lifting activities for external companies.

Due to the unique combination of lifting height (164 meters) and capacity, the TCC 78000 is the best solution to install the HLC 295000 safely and economically. The Heavy Lift Crane, the largest offshore crane Liebherr has ever built, has a maximum lifting capacity of 5,000 tonnes. In the future, the HLC will be used for the installation of offshore wind farms and for the decommissioning of disused oil and gas exploration facilities.

New markets in South East Asia: FCC 300 in Bangladesh

Liebherr delivered a Fixed Cargo Crane type FCC 300 in February to the premises of HeidelbergCement Bangladesh - the world's third largest cement producer.

The FCC - a crane permanently installed on land - is used for "24/7" bulk handling, mainly for handling clinker as raw material for cement production. With its four-rope grab and a maximum lifting capacity of 30 tonnes, the FCC 300 achieves a very high handling performance with extremely low maintenance requirements.

For Liebherr, this is the first step into a new market region, which will have a signal effect for further potential customers.
