HLC 295000: Swift and capable

With the installation of the largest monopiles ever produced in Europe and the lifting of a substation platform, the heavy lift crane HLC 295000 has successfully completed its first two offshore missions in the wind energy sector. The jobs took place at the German wind farm Arcadis Ost 1 and the French wind farm Fécamp.

Rise of a giant

With a maximum lifting capacity of up to 5,000 tonnes and a maximum lifting height of 175 metres above deck, the HLC 295000 is the largest offshore crane Liebherr has ever manufactured. With this offshore crane and its modern technologies, the Orion is currently considered the most innovative vessel in the offshore wind industry. By dismantling the old and building up the new energy, the HLC series can promote the energy transition "at both ends of development" for a more sustainable future.

Designed for a new era of bulk handling

The all-electric transshipment crane CBG 500 E combines the market demands for a reliable crane with high handling capacities. Due to the electric drives, the available energy is used efficiently and the crane operates in an environmentally friendly manner. The CBG 500 E has a boom length of up to 50 metres and handles up to 2,000 tonnes per hour. In sheltered water the maximum load capacity in grab operation is 90 tonnes and in open water 65 tonnes.

Three LHMs to Noatum terminals in Spain

Boarding the Heavy Load Carrier MERI in the morning hours of September 5, three Liebherr mobile harbour cranes were prepared for their journey to Spain. Three terminals operated by the Spanish company Noatum will benefit from the performance of the LHM 420 and LHM 550 models.

3 STS: From Ireland to New York

Liebherr have delivered three STS cranes to Maher Terminals LLC at the Port of New York and New Jersey. The cranes were shipped from Ireland in a partially assembled configuration.

After arriving at anchor of the coast of New York, the vessel’s ballast tanks were flooded and the cranes’ booms were lowered to allow passage under both the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the smaller Bayonne Bridge. It was a tight squeeze, with water levels slightly higher than forecast, but well within planned expectations, with the vessel and cranes safely navigating under the Bayonne Bridge with less than 60 centimetres to spare.
