Canadian crane company LaPrairie calls Liebherr LRT cranes winners in their books

Liebherr LR 11350 and LR 11000 crawler cranes working in tandem

An industrial port was opened in May 1900 at Kehl in Baden-Württemberg. In May this year, this small border town on the German side of the River Rhine near Strasbourg was the venue for another impressive event – two crawler cranes moved cargo weighing around 900 tonnes onto a barge in a spectacular tandem hoist. “Never before in almost 120 years of its history has such a heavy item been handled at our Rhine port using cranes”, says Jürgen Preiss. And Preiss, a member of the port management team, knows exactly what he’s talking about. The load he is referring to was the core piece of a gigantic tunnel drilling machine built by Herrenknecht based in Schwanau, Baden-Württemberg. Two powerful crawler cranes from the Liebherr Plant in Ehingen were required to tackle this job. Find out more
