Heavy duty cranes from Liebherr
Perfect solutions for every heavy duty hoist.

Heavy loads – perfect cranes

Heavy loads have to be hoisted all over the world. Often these loads weigh several hundreds or even thousands of tonnes. Every load is different, it is rare that these hoists can be described as standard operations. That means that having the right crane and the right hoisting concept is essential for every load and every job. This is where our full range of heavy duty cranes comes into its own – together with our services such as wind load calculations or static calculations for individual hoists. Our experienced fitters can support you on site during the erection, job and dismantling. And every hoist must be planned perfectly in advance – our planning and simulation software will help you to find the right crane, the right crane configuration and the best erection site in advance.

Different versions of heavy duty cranes – mobile versions and stationary cranes

Stationary heavy duty cranes

The classic tower crane can be seen on many construction sites. It is able to erect high-rise buildings on its own and can also load and unload a truck with building materials when required. This category also contains portal cranes, ship cranes, port cranes and offshore cranes.

Mobile heavy duty cranes

Mobile cranes which often change location are designed for easy transport and high mobility. This category includes mobile cranes which travel on their own chassis and are licensed for driving on roads – the all-terrain cranes. There are also crawler cranes which are transported to the site in individual components. There are also mobile cranes which are only used in specific industries, such as mobile dock cranes.

Quickly on site, ready immediately

Our all-terrain cranes can hoist loads weighing up to 1200 tonnes. Their all-terrain chassis enable these mobile cranes to travel quickly and safely both on roads and off-road. They have up to nine axles and telescopic booms up to 100 metres in length which can be extended with various jib attachments. There are thousands of Liebherr telescopic mobile cranes, or LTMs for short, in use all over the world.

Lots of hoists, the same location

Our HC series includes tower cranes which are designed for very high hook heights and very large radii and which can also manage enormous lifting capacities.

HC cranes can position very heavy load accurately and extremely sensitively. The drive units and control systems developed in-house ensure that the various drive units are perfectly coordinated.

These cranes are often used for very long periods of time, for example for handling loads at mines or shipyards.

Offshore cranes

Heavy constructions and their installation are playing an ever increasing role in the offshore industry. Massive wind turbines now reach heights of around 150 metres and have gross weights of up to 1000 tonnes per turbine. The focus of installation at sea is therefore on hoisting loads of various weights to a range of different heights. Liebherr has developed its “Crane Around the Leg” (CAL) product series to meet the specific requirements in the heavy load sector.

With a maximum lifting capacity of 1700 tonnes and a boom length of 108 metres, the CAL 64000 is the best known version of Liebherr’s heavy duty cranes for the offshore industry. The combination of pivot bearings, slewing gear, winches and Liebherr’s Litronic system ensure that the loads can be positioned accurately and moved safely. Together with the powerful electro-hydraulic drive unit, this ensures perfect operation in any situation.
