Hüffermann Krandienst GmbH is to expand its rental fleet by a considerable number of Liebherr cranes: 70 tower cranes from Biberach will go to the customer in Wildeshausen, Lower Saxony, next year. The scope of supply includes lower slewing cranes of type classes 53 K to 125 K as well as top-slewing cranes of type 125 EC-B to 520 EC-B Fibre. They will be used for industrial construction as well as for infrastructure and residential construction. Among the new orders are also some cranes with high-strength fibre rope.
"In the past two years of our partnership, we have achieved a lot together. We particularly appreciate Liebherr's innovative products and reliable service," says Daniel Janssen, managing director and shareholder at Hüffermann Krandienst GmbH. The purchase agreement was signed this week at Liebherr´s booth at Bauma in Munich and is another building block of the successful cooperation.

Two early twentieth century gasometers in the Bovisa district of Milan are being redeveloped into a new innovation campus for Politecnico di Milano, based on a master plan by architect Renzo Piano. Since March 2025, three Liebherr flat-top cranes have covered the entire construction site, handling lifting and material handling work across the project.

Liebherr is increasing the overall service life of its Fibre ropes from 14 to 16 years, with the decisive period of use rising to up to 12 years. This is based on multi-year ageing trials on test rigs and analyses of ropes already in field. The new ruling applies automatically to all new ropes and those already in the field. This step forms part of Liebherr's ongoing path towards establishing Fibre technology as the new standard in the tower crane market.

Five questions that show why planning a tower crane deployment is more complex than you might think
On spectacular construction sites, it's the structures that take the spotlight. But building bridges, tunnels or skyscrapers in the first place often demands equally extraordinary crane concepts. From the Sagrada Família in Barcelona to the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel in Denmark, Liebherr supports demanding tower crane deployments worldwide. Max Widder, Head of Project Planning at Tower Crane Solutions, gives insight into the challenges behind some of the most complex crane projects in the world.
