Liebherr military cranes

Bespoke mobile cranes for military use.

Liebherr military cranes – armoured cranes for worldwide military use.

Armoured military cranes are designed fully to meet military requirements. And the main priority is to protect those inside. For this reason, our military cranes have particularly well armoured drivers’ cabs and crane cabs developed in collaboration with the Rheinmetall Group.

Like Liebherr mobile cranes, the military cranes are built on an all-terrain chassis, making them ideal both for off-road use and for driving on public roads.

The powerful telescopic booms can hoist loads of any type quickly and easily. We can supply the armoured recovery crane, known as the G-BKF especially for recovering and towing damaged vehicles. It is a versatile vehicle and an absolute all-rounder for recovering, towing and hoisting.

In addition to the G-BKF, the G-LTM 1090-4.2 armoured mobile crane rounds off our range of special vehicles for military purposes.

Safety is paramount –

personnel protection for the driver and passengers.

The safety of the soldiers is paramount. We collaborate with Rheinmetall Defence, the leading European supplier of military equipment to satisfy the high protection requirements for the crane cab and driver’s cab.

Fast and mobile –

excellent off-road manoeuvrability and mobility.

The all-terrain chassis on our armoured military cranes feature the very latest chassis and drive technology to deliver outstanding driving performance even in difficult conditions and on challenging terrain.

The large volume single tyres with runflat elements provide the right grip whilst the 6-cylinder Liebherr engine delivers the power, which is transferred by a ZF gearbox. This means that driving speeds of up to 85 km/h are possible, depending on the model.

Whatever comes around –

high flexibility in use.

The telescopic booms on our armoured military cranes each have a pivot section and three telescoping parts. The G-LTM also features the time-tested high speed telescoping system,Telematik. The G-BKF has a hydro-mechanical system with a double pulley block.

The booms on both crane models can be extended easily and quickly to any length.
