Sycratronic

The Sycratronic assist system makes it possible to operate two Liebherr cranes in tandem mode. A crane operator controls the movement of both machines that are electronically synchronised. While manual tandem lifts have to be restricted to 75% of the crane's capacity, this control system guarantees 100% utilisation of the maximum load capacity.

Synchronised lifting with Sycratronic

The LHM 800, Liebherr's flagship model in the mobile harbour crane sector has a maximum load capacity of 308 tonnes. Two cranes of this model can lift twice the load with the aid of the Sycratronic system, i.e. exactly 616 tonnes.

However, identical crane types of the series are not a prerequisite to use the system. Sycratronic works independently of the crane type and is reverse compatible, which means that equipment from an older generation can also be retrofitted.

Tandem lifting assistance system

With the Sycratronic system improving the safety of tandem operations, this makes it easier for terminal operators to scale up their lift capacities to over 600 tonnes when combining two LHM 800 cranes. While the system is developed to improve crane operations in all heavy-lift sectors, it could in particular prove useful in the (offshore) wind industry where long components and tandem lift operations have become the norm.

The biggest benefits are improved efficiency and increased safety. Due to built-in safeties, the Sycratronic​ system allows the crane driver to fully use the load curve of the crane, while this is normally restricted to 75 %.

Advantages at a glance

Two cranes, one crane operator

With the aid of the Sycratronic system, one single crane operator controls two Liebherr cranes that joined together work as one unit.

Increased safety, easier operation as well as faster crane movements are the result.
