Liebherr crawler cranes

Our crawler cranes have an excellent array of safety equipment. Our specialists conduct stringent tests on every crane to ensure they meet our exacting quality standards.

We also deliver the latest expertise to crane drivers and customers. This enables us to highlight specific dangers in crane operation to ensure greater safety for everyday work.

We adopt the very highest safety standards for the design of our crawler cranes. This particularly applies to the structural values. Our engineers calculate every single crane's structural integrity with a high safety margin.

Every single crane has to pass a whole series of intensive, continuous tests and checks both during the entire production process and afterwards on our own test site. The test load for the crane acceptance procedure on the test site is around 25 percent higher than the standard load capacity.

Crane drivers and operating personnel often have to work at great heights. To keep them safe, we’ve developed an effective safety concept to provide the best possible safety standards. Collective safety equipment such as railings and handles on crawler cranes prevent from falling.

In addition, we fit every new crane with a fall arrest system. The safety harnesses are attached to steel cables which run along the boom using carabiner hooks. The PPE has undergone a whole series of tests and has received multiple certificates from state safety authorities.

We are committed to making crane operations safe. One of our focal points is the clarification of risks and dangers caused by the effects of wind. Wind can exert additional or reduced forces on a crane and can change character in a matter of seconds. It acts on both the load and the crane. The wind load can often not be detected by the crane control.

We provide information about these effects and simple, readily understandable training on how to calculate the maximum permitted wind speeds in a given situation.
