When Hans Liebherr invented the mobile tower crane in 1949, he paved the way for a global enterprise and a wide spectrum of groundbreaking innovations in a range of different technological fields. His pioneering spirit has been ingrained in the very fabric of Liebherr ever since.

From the TK 10, the first mobile tower crane, the L 300 hydraulic excavator or the first reverse drum mixer, through to today’s modern crawler excavators or fully electric truck mixers: a lot has changed in the last 75 years. What has never changed, however, is our ability to turn visionary ideas into reality. The following article with examples of developments and groundbreaking projects from the world of Liebherr offers insight into the extensive impact that this special pioneering spirit has had across all product segments – yesterday, today and tomorrow.
