2,000 in 2023
Milestone shortly before the end of the year in Ehingen: The 2,000th crane is delivered within a year. This – almost magical – 2,000 mark was exceeded for the first time in 2023 and the special LTM 1070-4.2 was handed over to MaxiMum GmbH, a company of the MAXIkraft Group. The crane was bid farewell from the Ehingen plant at the works meeting in December.
A great achievement and many thanks, Team Liebherr!
Building bridges in Antioquia
In the Colombian region of Antioquia, Movitram Gruas was commissioned to carry out the bridge lifting work for a new road link. An LTM 1160-5.2 and an LTM 1220-5.2 from the crane operator, which was founded in 2012, were used together. Infrastructure development is of great importance for the region in order to accelerate the transport of numerous mineral resources, increasing industrial products and growing coffee production.
Tandem lift for green energy
Down Under, work on the energy transition is also in full swing. In the Australian state of Victoria, for example, two LTM 1750-9.1 cranes from crane rental company Johnson & Youn Cranes are working together to assemble the blades of a new wind turbine.
Hard labour for renewables
Spain’s north is working hard to expand offshore wind power. In the port of Avilés, the third largest city in the province of Asturias, an LR 1600/2 from Gruas Roxu is being used to handle tower segments with individual weights of up to 320 tonnes for the Baltic Eagle wind farm.
