In the mobile and crawler cranes product segment, Liebherr achieved revenue of €3,650 million in the 2025 business year. This represents a year-on-year decrease of €266 million or 6.8 %.

After an unusually strong previous year, the 2025 business year was dominated by challenging market conditions. Geopolitical tensions and new trade tariffs between Europe and the USA put a strain on the industry, and the weak growth in the European construction industry made consumers more cautious still. Consequently, potential customers delayed their investments. Overall, the revenue development in multiple regions was influenced by increasing competition from China.

In the European Union and non-EU countries alike, revenue saw negative growth, which not even the good results in Spain, the Netherlands and Türkiye could offset. In North America, Liebherr’s revenue suffered a clear setback as a result of the US trade tariffs. In Central and South America, individual infrastructure projects provided fresh impetus. Overall, business in Asia and Oceania declined, with Australia and Japan registering particularly pronounced losses. Africa and the Near and Middle East recorded a slight downturn, despite the increase in revenue in the United Arab Emirates.

The highlight of the business year was the presentation of various innovations from all areas of application for the segment at Bauma 2025. The products showcased there demonstrate higher performance, more efficient processes and, most importantly, low-emissions drives – a clear step in the direction of sustainability.

Of particular note is the advances made in mobile cranes. With the LTM 1150-5.4E, Liebherr unveiled the company’s first mobile crane to have an integrated battery. This allows for the crane to operate on-site without producing any local emissions, making it independent of any external power supply. Moreover, at the end of the year series production began on the LTM 1400-6.1, the world’s strongest 6-axle crane.

Liebherr launched innovative solutions for challenging lifting operations, in the form of the new LR 1300.2 SX unplugged and LR 1400.1 SX crawler cranes.

Derrick equipment on both models contributes to significantly greater load capacities, while cutting-edge assistance systems increase safety and efficiency on the construction site. The LR 1300.2 SX unplugged works without producing any emissions and is exceptionally quiet in operation – a major advantage for sustainable and urban projects. The LR 1400.1 SX offers a flexible ballast concept and maximum operator comfort.

The integration of the MK series of mobile construction cranes into the product segment’s sales and service network expands the range of electrically powered cranes. The business year also saw Liebherr make investments in the expansion of the Ehingen-Berg site (Germany) to increase production capacities. In the USA and Mexico, service locations were expanded to further strengthen customer service.

Based on current market trends, Liebherr looks to the current business year with caution for the product segment.
