The world championship of mobile crane operators

The world championship of mobile crane operators

The best crane operators in the world competed against each other in thrilling competitions to demonstrate their skills: Precision, technique and skill are required when it comes to masterfully steering the crane. At the final in Ehingen, the best of the best were able to put their skills to the test - but only one could ascend the throne!

The path to the throne

To take part in the competition, crane operators around the world registered online and submitted an application photo or video to show why they had what it takes to be a champion. The submitted entries were evaluated in a public voting process - not only the number of votes counted, but also the judgement of a jury. The best candidates qualified for the regional preliminary rounds in September at the Liebherr sites in Azuqueca de Henares (Spain), Guaratinguetá (Brazil), Adelaide (Australia), Newport News (USA) and Dammam (Saudi Arabia).

The 2025 finalists

With impressive skill, maximum precision and in-depth expertise, these five participants held their own against strong competition in the regional competitions. Each of them showed exceptional performance and deservedly fought their way into the grand final.

Here we introduce you to the five finalists who set standards with their commitment and expertise and fought for a place on the throne of the mobile crane operator elite at the grand final in Ehingen at the end of November.
