Liebherr’s 125 K: The largest fast-erecting crane in a successful family

With a radius of 55 m and a hook height of up to approx. 66 m, the Liebherr 125 K is currently the largest fast-erecting crane on the market. Visitors at Intermat 2024 in Paris can now see the innovative K series concept for themselves. A well thought-out assembly system and low logistics costs make the Liebherr fast-erecting cranes particularly useful for shorter projects. The 125 K is, for example, ideal for work on construction projects such as multi-story residential buildings, bridges and industrial facilities. It can be operated with a mobile energy storage system if the on-site power supply is insufficient.

Liebherr tower crane works on unusual bridge construction

At first glance, it looks as if the Liebherr tower crane is floating in the air. Only the new bridge structure and the ground beneath it can be seen where the crane's foundations would normally be.

This has created an unusual site situation involving an approach that has never been seen before in Germany.
