Crawler cranes carry out lifting work on floating platforms. Construction materials that are transported on the river reduce road transport and so relieve traffic in the inner city.

Rivers in populated areas are a great field of activity for the floating LR series.

Liebherr's floating crawler cranes unfold their unique versatility in the course of the construction of river regulations, flood retention areas, drainige and treatment plants.

On jack-up platforms, crawler cranes serve as working platforms for port expansion.

Even in offshore windparks our LR crawler cranes feel like home beeing placed on pontons. For around one year the IJsselmeer (Lake IJssel) in the north of the Netherlands was the scene of an unusual job for a LR 11350. The crawler crane erected the complete "Westermeerwind" wind farm from a massive jack-up platform, featuring 48 Siemens wind turbines with a hub height of 95 metres...

The use of floating crawler cranes can be advantageous when building bridges over water.
