The LS-series – Powering heavy lifts, built for everyday performance
Our heavy-lift ship crane series offers high performance lift solutions. With capacities ranging from 120-1200 tonnes, LS cranes enable efficient handling of heavy and project cargo across a wide range of maritime operations. The compact design and low self-weight ensures simplified interfaces and easy vessel integration.
LS cranes are distinguished by their superior control system – Litronic. Thanks to this intelligent software LS cranes always achieve the maximum speed (depending on the respective load) and full utilisation of the load moment. Furthermore, LS cranes feature state-of-the-art assist systems and are prepared for future applications.

Heavy lifting with ship cranes
The handling of heavy goods on appropriate ship types presents particular challenges in terms of technology and demands the highest level of precision and safety.
With decades of experience in the development and construction of heavy lift cranes, Liebherr always offers the right solution for your maritime challenge.

Litronic – Intelligent crane control system
Litronic is developed and manufactured by Liebherr as an all in one control system for maritime cranes. It connects the operator directly with the machine and provides real time data for clear and reliable operation.
The system automatically adjusts speed to match the load and ensures smooth and efficient lifting at all times. By eliminating the need for manual switching, Litronic simplifies operation and improves overall system performance.
Assistance systems and digital solutions for ship cranes
The LS series is designed for heavy-lift operations and can be adapted through flexible boom configurations and optional features. Integrated control and assistance systems aupport reliable and efficient operation in various environments.
- Multi-Hook-Operation
- Tandem Lifting Assistant
- Liebherr Collision Alert System (LiCAS)
- Adaptive Load Charts
- Linear Slewing Mode
- Level-Luffing Mode

The electrical crane enables parallel operation for maximum efficiency in complex lifts. Operators can control up to three hoists simultaneously, with fast switching supported by an intelligent control system.
Integrated logic ensures intuitive handling, smooth transitions, and enhanced safety through advanced overload protection for multi hook applications.
