Our areas of expertise in the wind energy sector
Maritime cranes
In the maritime sector, Liebherr offers the right solution for a wide range of requirements of the wind power industry. Whether loading wind turbine components in the port, transporting them or even erecting wind turbines at sea, only the most powerful players from our maritime product range of ship cranes, mobile harbour cranes and offshore cranes are up to the task.
Concrete technology
Towers made from concrete segments constitute the very foundation of wind turbines. The high-performance mixing plants in the Betomat and Betomix series from Liebherr are used to manufacture concrete used in these sophisticated segments. Thanks to precise process controls and moisture-measuring systems, the concrete is perfectly matched to the strict quality requirements.
Gear technology
In wind power, components are required to satisfy extremely strict quality standards. Liebherr gear cutting machines make an essential contribution to this, since they ensure the best possible production quality of all toothed parts, for example the slewing bearing for rotor blade and yaw adjustment. The manufacturing technologies include gear hobbing, gear shaping and skiving, as well as generating grinding and profile grinding.
