At Conexpo 2026, North America’s largest construction tradeshow, Liebherr delivers an LR 1300.1 crawler crane to Orion Group Holdings (NSYE:ORN), strengthening Orion’s fleet in support of its marine and infrastructure operation across the United States.
Liebherr delivers an LR 1300.1 SX crawler crane to Orion (NSYE:ORN) at Conexpo 2026. The LR 1300.1 SX provides a reliable lifting solution for a wide range of projects across Orion’s marine and infrastructure portfolio.
Headquartered in Texas, Orion is a leading specialty construction company with more than 100 years of experience delivering marine, industrial, and concrete solutions. The company supports transportation and maritime infrastructure, dredging, and complex concrete construction projects nationwide, across the Pacific and Caribbean.
With this delivery, Orion now operates six Liebherr cranes, including three HS duty cycle crawler cranes and three LR crawler cranes. The LR 1300.1 SX expands the company’s lifting capacity and supports its commitment to delivering projects with predictable excellence.
Crawler cranes are the ideal choice as the construction industry's heavyweights, effortlessly navigating every terrain. Optimal for the heavy-duty marine construction and dredging operations Orion specializes in, Liebherr crawler cranes bring the power and finesse needed to get the job done.
The newest generation of the LR 1300 has a lifting capacity of max. 331 USt (300 t). The Liebherr LR 1300.1 SX crawler crane impresses with many innovative assistance systems, which both increase operational safety as well as simplify handling. With the new cab design, the crane appears elegant in design and with many features for high operator comfort.
With much of their cranes mounted on barges for dredging or marine construction operations, Orion required a machine with the precise handling required for such difficult applications. The control system developed by Liebherr includes all operating and control functions of the crane and permits safe and secure lifting. The Liebherr litronic software automatically calculates load capacities during barge-based operation and when operated with a Liebherr Pile-Tilting Device installed, the LR 1300.1 SX effectively raises and sets piles in place.
