Liebherr Mobile Cranes: Top Technology at Your Disposal

Mobile crane technology has reached new highs over the last decade, and Liebherr mobile cranes are some of the best examples of how far crane technology has developed. This means that cranes are now designed according to client concepts and requirements, and no time or money is spared to find the best application-driven solutions around. The concept of crane development has reached a stage where almost all things are possible, and engineers all over the world spend a lot of time and effort on finding the best solutions for all manner of environments.

Generally speaking, Liebherr mobile cranes focus on the direct requirements and objectives of the client, and the performance needed to achieve these goals. The size and weight of the crane, its mobility, the environment, and many other factors are taken into consideration before embarking on the design of Liebherr mobile cranes that can provide the best solutions. Performance is carefully measured and regulated, and the specifications sheets provide solid information of the capabilities and requirements of these mobile cranes. They are built for specific, and sometimes highly challenging, situations. Not only do they provide excellent mobility on several types of terrain, but they are also highly functional in situations where manoeuvrability is limited. The chassis is designed to ensure high mobility and maximum economy.

Central to the outstanding economy and practicality of Liebherr mobile cranes is the comfort of the operator. Ergonomically designed cabins and seats reduce fatigue and create an environment for the operator to work the crane safely and without undue physical exertion. In any modern industrial environment, operator comfort is of a high priority – this ensures that the crane can be operated optimally and that the operator is not prone to premature fatigue or injury during the day-to-day operation of the crane.

In addition to operator comfort, Liebherr mobile cranes are designed to be more environmentally friendly than most of their competitors. The innovative exhaust systems reduce emissions by restricting the amount of harmful gases released into the atmosphere. The specially designed diesel engines are made to operate reliably in even the most challenging situations while maintaining their power output and low emissions.

Five different steering system programmes make the crane easy to operate, and provides stability of handling even at speed. Active rear axle steering allows the front axles to be steered mechanically while the electro-hydraulic system steers the back axle. This provides greater range when it comes to steep inclines, where both axles can be steered. A built-in centring cylinder ensures that the rear axle is automatically straightened if a fault occurs. It is controlled by two independent computers, and when the engine is idling, the pump drive unit is automatically disengaged to reduce fuel consumption.
