At the world's largest trade fair for medical technology being held from 13 to 16 November 2017 in Düsseldorf, Liebherr will be exhibiting its refrigeration and freezer units which are specially designed for use in laboratories and in the medical sector.
Refrigeration and freezer units which are used in the medical sector are subject to specific requirements: sensitive substances, liquids and cultures have to be stored safely and reliably. Precise and constant cooling temperatures and uninterrupted operation of the equipment are essential requirements. Laboratory equipment from Liebherr incorporates innovative cooling technologies and precise control systems to ensure constant interior temperatures. The profile electronics of the large-volume units enable precise adjustment of the units and provide convenient alarm and safety functions. Alongside their high quality design and sturdy construction, Liebherr refrigeration and freezer units are a powerful partner in any laboratory thanks to their precise electronics, dynamic refrigeration system and highly effective insulation. Some of the company's innovative highlights include the new LKv 5710 laboratory refrigerator unit and the new LGv 5010 laboratory freezer unit, which fulfil the toughest reliability and safety requirements thanks to their smart monitoring systems.
Intelligent networking solutions are creating new possibilities for professional users in the area of monitoring and maintaining commercial refrigeration and freezer units. Liebherr will be presenting SmartMonitoring to the trade fair visitors as a key innovation topic in the area of digitalisation. Intelligent solutions for monitoring professional refrigeration and freezer units offer additional safety and convenience. For example, customers have access to the equipment data at any time and from anywhere. Thanks to system functions such as "SmartAlarm" and "RemoteSupport", the equipment is much more resistant to failure. SmartAlarm works by analysing performance data and registering any irregularities. Automatic evaluation of the data makes it possible to detect temperature variations in the equipment at an early stage. RemoteSupport allows access to this data, which helps the on-site servicing staff to get the customer's equipment back into operation quickly.

More experience, more confidence: six questions on the new period of use for Liebherr fibre ropes
Liebherr is increasing the period of use of its fibre ropes to up to 12 years in temperate climates and up to 8 years in hot climates, while the overall service life is rising from 14 to 16 years. But what's behind this decision, and why do all ropes already in the field benefit too? Six questions for Jochen Huber, Product Manager Fibre Technology at Liebherr, on the tests, the impact for customers on site, and the wider strategy behind Fibre technology.

Liebherr is increasing the overall service life of its Fibre ropes from 14 to 16 years, with the decisive period of use rising to up to 12 years. This is based on multi-year ageing trials on test rigs and analyses of ropes already in field. The new ruling applies automatically to all new ropes and those already in the field. This step forms part of Liebherr's ongoing path towards establishing Fibre technology as the new standard in the tower crane market.
