Liebherr CBW-F 3450

Special Design Ship Crane

Recently the biggest ram luffing CBW crane left Liebherr’s premises in Rostock. The tailor-made Liebherr type CBW-F 3450 ship crane has been manufactured by Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH for the world's largest suction dredger Spartacus. This challenge was met with the help of two Liebherr LHM 800 in tandem lift operation and required maximum concentration on the part of everyone involved.
