An overview of mobile crane technology

Every nut and bolt: Find out more about the features of our mobile cranes.

This is how to build a mobile crane

Our engineers use their own concept specifically tailored to mobile cranes for designing every single crane model. This is based on the requirements of our customers and markets.

But the technology requirements differ depending on the crane size and objective of the crane development process.

Every crane is designed individually – so that it is perfect for you and your crane jobs.

This is why we are providing an insight into our general mobile crane technology here – the precise performance data, equipment and options for individual cranes are listed under the various crane models.

For any terrain:

Efficient chassis and drive technology.

Our mobile cranes feature enormous mobility on any terrain. This is guaranteed by our high quality chassis and drive technology which also delivers maximum economy.

The crane provides the operator with extraordinary manoeuvrability – and a comfortable workplace.

Reduced maintenance:

Single-engine concept for large mobile cranes.

New crane models with five or more axles feature an innovative drive concept: The superstructure is powered through a mechanical shaft by the engine in the undercarriage.

Whether it is on the left or right:

Variable steering concept.

Their five steering programs make manoeuvring our cranes child’s play. Handling remains stable even at high speeds.

And what's more, active rear axle steering significantly reduces tyre wear.

Comfortable workplace: Driver's cab and crane cab

Thinks for itself:

LICCON smart crane control system.

We develop the software and hardware for the control system in-house. The heart of the system is the LICCON (Liebherr Computed Control) computer system. This forward-thinking control architecture enables it to adapt to the continually growing needs of the market.

What is more, Liebherr specialists continuously work on developing the system.

LICCON3

The third generation LICCON control system features the same time-tested operation as previous generations and adds a fast data bus, significantly more storage space and greater computing power. LICCON3 cranes are prepared for telematics and fleet management.

Telescoping technology

High up with the telescoping technology in our cranes: Hydro-mechanical system or TELEMATIK.

All-round

Focus on safety.

A genuine Liebherr crane includes a sophisticated safety concept. The crane operator has equipment and systems for working in, on and around the crane to ensure the job can be completed safely.

Our BTT remote control and VarioBase® are ideal for this purpose.
