Better in every detail: the new 440 HC-L from Liebherr

The next generation of Liebherr luffing jib cranes has arrived. The 440 HC-L easily manages an out-of-service position of less than eleven metres, reducing the space required. Lifting capacity has been increased, new materials have found their way into crane production and assembly times are now shorter.

18 Liebherr cranes involved in replacing Germany’s second longest road bridge

The Rader High Bridge spans the Kiel Canal along Germany’s A7 motorway, the northbound high-speed link from Hamburg to Denmark. The bridge is to be replaced and widened over the next few years. 18 Liebherr cranes, ranging from the 65 K.1 to the 150 EC-B, are taking care of the lifting work.

Future-ready crane production: Liebherr invests in metal processing system

An innovation that is a world first of its kind: the new deburring line for cut parts at the Liebherr production site in Biberach. Working with specialists from ARKU Maschinenbau GmbH, Rösler Oberflächentechnik GmbH and Teqram B.V., Liebherr-Werk Biberach GmbH has automated the edge rounding of plasma, oxyfuel and laser-cut metal sheet. In doing so, the company is making the production of tower cranes fit for the future.

Liebherr’s 125 K: The largest fast-erecting crane in a successful family

With a radius of 55 m and a hook height of up to approx. 66 m, the Liebherr 125 K is currently the largest fast-erecting crane on the market. Visitors at Intermat 2024 in Paris can now see the innovative K series concept for themselves. A well thought-out assembly system and low logistics costs make the Liebherr fast-erecting cranes particularly useful for shorter projects. The 125 K is, for example, ideal for work on construction projects such as multi-story residential buildings, bridges and industrial facilities. It can be operated with a mobile energy storage system if the on-site power supply is insufficient.

Liebherr tower crane works on unusual bridge construction

At first glance, it looks as if the Liebherr tower crane is floating in the air. Only the new bridge structure and the ground beneath it can be seen where the crane's foundations would normally be. The challenge at the construction site in Wittenberge (Brandenburg) is that the landscape surrounding the bridge is a nature reserve, so everything has to take place in as little space as possible. This has created an unusual site situation involving an approach that has never been seen before in Germany.
