Next generation of RL series
The Liebherr crane specialists have designed a compact and versatile solution to shape the future of offshore maintenance processes. A new approach advances the ram luffing crane (RL) series to meet the future demands of worldwide offshore customers and their individual specifications. A consistently expressed customer preference is to achieve the most compact design possible with a small radius and low overall height. Find out what the new RL has to offer in our highlight video and visit the website for more details about the advanced crane series.
New design approach
Based on our customers feedback, we optimized the RL to become the most compact maintenance crane with a reduced construction height and a tail radius of less than 3 metres.
Maintenance on a new level
The new design offers plenty of space for maintenance with additional service platforms and lots of room inside the slewing column. In addition, LiMain is available for this crane series.
Versatility as a basic principle
On both fixed and floating offshore installations, especially in the wind power industry and in the oil and gas sector, RL cranes are used for maintenance and supply work.

Rolling Stones on the ocean
The Rolling Stones are one of the most popular bands in the world. No wonder that the individual band members serve as eponyms for special vessels from time to time. Our customer dship carriers, a global provider of ocean transportation services, has done exactly this: naming multi-purpose vessels MV Mick, MV Keith, MV Ronnie and MV Charlie.
All of the mentioned vessels are equipped with two Liebherr ship cranes type CBB 3800, each with a maximum lifting capacity of 250 tonnes. Except for the MV Charlie, all ships have already entered service, the last one will follow at the beginning of 2022. Then the band will be reunited - at least on the world's ocean.

Rhenus Group relies on Liebherr
Rhenus Midgard is replacing a more than 20-year-old Liebherr LHM 320 with a new Liebherr machine. The LHM 420, recently delivered by project logistics specialist Rhenus Project Logistics, will mainly handle breakbulk and containers at the Dradenau Terminal in the Port of Hamburg.
Electric drive in high demand
Electrification is entering a new market phase. A significant shift in focus for electrified cranes can be observed. In the 2021 sales year, demand for Liebherr mobile harbour cranes with an e-drive has risen sharply. Compared to 2019, the number of units equipped with an electric motor has even doubled.
Liebherr has been successfully using a hybrid drive concept consisting of a diesel engine and an electric drive for the mobile harbour cranes product segment for over 20 years. In addition to emission-free handling, the benefits of e-drive include cost savings and less maintenance.
Our expertise for your benefit
A well-organized worldwide network of qualified and experienced engineers and technical advisors works every day to fulfil our mission - to provide you with the shortest response times and highest productivity of Liebherr machines, regardless of location or age.
