New options for painting Liebherr mobile cranes
When you order a new car, you will hardly find more than eight colours to choose from in the corresponding price list. For our mobile cranes, hundreds of colours are available to our customers.
The superstructure is frequently painted in a different colour than the chassis and it is not uncommon to find a third colour on the crane. How do we take this wide range into account in our price lists? Oliver Wekenmann from our order centre explains. He has been involved in crane painting and coordination with customers and foreign subsidiaries for 16 years.

Our standard paint finish has been a two-colour design for decades: Chassis in basalt grey (RAL 7012), driver’s cab, crane superstructure and ballast in daffodil yellow (RAL 1007). We offer a two-colour special painting and a three-colour special painting for an additional charge. With these two options in the price list, we can cover the vast majority of customer requirements.
Our new paint finish options range from particularly cost-effective to multi-coloured and individual.
With the introduction of our new LICCON3 control generation, we not only wanted to become more technically advanced, but also offer our customers a more modern design. Together with the new control, we have introduced a new driver’s cab and a new standard paint finish. We call it Liebherr design paint finish and it is included in the price for the basic machine: Chassis, superstructure cab, telescopic sections and counterweight in anthracite (RAL 7016), superstructure and crane equipment in daffodil yellow (RAL 1007).
Good value: 1-colour customer painting superstructure
We now offer new options for customers with their own colours and designs. The 1-color customer painting superstructure is particularly cost-effective. It enables the new Liebherr design to be transferred to the corporate colours of our customers. Only the superstructure is modified with a customer-specific RAL colour compared to the Liebherr design paint finish. The chassis, the superstructure cab and the ballast remain in anthracite (RAL 7016).
Cost-effective: 1-colour customer painting complete crane
We have created the 1-colour customer painting complete crane as an additional cost-effective option. Chassis, superstructure, crane equipment and counterweight: individual RAL colour.
Individual, multi-coloured customer paint finishes are more sophisticated and therefore naturally more expensive. The individual customer painting (up to three colours) price list option is provided for this purpose. Chassis, superstructure, crane equipment and counterweight: up to three individual RAL colours.
Individual: multi-coloured customer painting
With the new paint finish options in the price lists for the LICCON3 cranes, we offer cost-effective alternatives on the one hand. It was also important to us to cover the vast majority of requirements of our customers. We will be happy to give you advice on any additional requirements you may have.
