Tower cranes

Intelligent construction site

Comprehensive planning – efficient implementation – spot-on analysis

Digitalization offers the construction industry diverse opportunities for increased performance, reliability and safety on site. As a holistic solutions provider, we share insights into new digital developments around crane operation at Conexpo 2023. Comprehensive planning, efficient processes and spot-on analysis – all made possible by Liebherr.

The future is straight ahead of us

We are taking a fresh look at the work of tower cranes. This means optimising the processes related to, and carried out by, tower cranes e.g. the lifting of loads from A to B on a construction site. And in doing so, we’re also opening up perspectives on activities beyond the actual tower crane task at hand, and recognising additional potential in terms of crane operators, architects, construction planners and supervisors working together on site. Be part of our journey!

Plan

We offer relevant solutions and support for, and during, the operational planning of our crane products. Our emphasis here is on the rapidly growing trend of digital construction planning and digital planning processes.

Analyze

We’re making it possible for contractors to analyse and optimise construction sites through the provision of compiled process and machine data.

Plan: Construction site planning

Accurate planning is essential for a successful construction site.

We support architects and construction planners with suitable solutions and services early on in the process. Our PLAN services are primarily geared towards digital construction planning and its planning processes. This means that cranes can be selected to perfectly match requirements and that they can be easily integrated into digital construction site processes. At the core of our planning activities are our comprehensive Crane Information Models (CIM), which we will be rolling out for all our cranes in future.

With appropriate software tools on the user side, CIM models deliver additional advantages:

– Visualisation of the crane working range

– Easier search for optimal crane positioning in digital planning

– Semantic testing and error detection

– Integration into a VR environment

Liebherr also supports planning with customised tools, advisory services and other tailored solutions.

A look at the systems

We have some exclusive first insights for you.

An IFC file of one of our cranes contains all the information in digital form that you would otherwise find on our technical data sheets. The crane can also be integrated into authoring systems as a 3D model. Different variants of the IFC model are available, depending on requirements and type of use.

Analyze with Site Monitoring

Site Monitoring creates transparency on site

When it comes to load handling, tower cranes are among the most important machines on site. For a project to be carried out successfully, relevant machine and process data needs to be available quickly, and in a clear and comprehensive form. This is exactly what Liebherr Site Monitoring, a digital solution for construction contractors, makes possible:

• Capturing of digital machine and process data

• Information for supervisors and construction planners

• Site diary enhancement with digital lifting data

An intuitive interface facilitates the fast display of key information, such as the number of lifts carried out and how optimal these were in terms of their travel path. This provides site managers and supervisors with a basis for their decision-making.

Site planners can use this captured material movement data to check set-ups and related assumptions. The knowledge gained can be used in subsequent construction projects.

The lifting data obtained can also be used to enhance site diaries. Materials moved by the crane can be recorded with further process data for later traceability.

Transparency of material movement

The movement of materials becomes transparent. Pick-up and unloading points are shown per day with the help of a graphic display of all lifts carried out by machines on site. Different filters enable individual machines to be selected and compared. Downtimes due to overlapping working ranges become visible as a result.
