Engineered for excellence

The 195 HC-LH is an innovative hydraulic luffing jib crane that has been specially designed to meet the challenges of inner-city construction sites, where space and flexibility are decisive factors. With its well thought-out logistics and quick assembly capability, this crane doesn’t just offer impressive performance, but safe and efficient handling as well. It is therefore the ideal partner for challenging construction projects in densely built-up areas.

The mid-range luffing jib cranes, including the 230, 258 and 280 HC-L models, are true all-rounders with optimal lifting capacities and adaptability. These reliable machines are used all over the world and are particularly popular for urban areas, where their high lifting capacity and choice of hoist winches offer considerable advantages.

The 440 HC-L and 620 HC-L cranes are the latest generation of luffing jib cranes designed specifically for demanding building projects, such as the construction of skyscrapers. Both models offer outstanding performance and excellent adaptability to different site environments.

The 710 HC-L is a real tower of power that masters even the toughest challenges on construction sites with its impressive performance and flexibility. The crane’s tandem hoist ensures a feeling of safety and reliability while it effortlessly lifts heavy loads to staggering heights.

The hoist winches of our luffing jib cranes are specially designed for this crane class and are therefore technically optimised to meet requirements. Maximum handling capacity is achieved as a result.

The Liebherr cranes feature 1-2 fall operation. 1-fall operation offers maximum speeds for fast construction progress. By contrast, 2-fall operation allows the crane’s maximum lifting capacity to be utilised, which is important when working with prefabricated parts and heavier loads.

Liebherr opts for maximum rope capacities for its luffing jib cranes. As a result, these cranes are an excellent choice when maximum heights are required.

Liebherr’s luffing jib cranes can be equipped with a standard hoist winch or a more high-performance option. This hoist flexibility allows users to tailor the crane specifically to their construction needs.

The 195 HC-LH hydraulic luffing jib crane scores points with its powerful hydraulic power unit and hydraulic cylinder combination. This increases productivity on site through high performance and precise load positioning. Sensors ensure complete control of the luffing motion, regardless of wind conditions.

Minimum effort for maximum performance.

The Liebherr HC-L series utilises rope luffing units that offer a high degree of flexibility and adaptability during use. The rope luffing units enable precise control of the jib’s position. This is key to efficiently meeting different lifting requirements.

The reeving of the rope luffing units also makes the 620 HC-L and 440 HC-L models more efficient and easier to assemble.

Liebherr luffing jib cranes offer a load-dependent luffing speed. This increases efficiency when lifting loads, which increases load handling and leads to significantly faster construction progress. The crane’s luffing speed is automatically adjusted to the weight of the load being lifted.

The ballast blocks are attached in a horizontal position, which means that their transport and assembly positions are identical. This eliminates the time-consuming task of turning the blocks and also ensures maximum safety, as the risk of chipping or cracking is minimised. The ballast is simply stacked, which makes handling even easier.

Concrete ballast is a cost-effective and efficient solution perfect for general use. To make handling flexible, the ballast blocks are available with or without a ballast frame, whereby the frame also serves as protection for the concrete blocks. This option not only enables space-saving assembly but also protects the ballast blocks during transport and throughout use.

The frames can be delivered in pieces and assembled on site, which makes transport easier, especially at sea. Concrete is not supplied, thereby significantly reducing transport costs. The frames can be used as formwork for filling on site. The galvanised design protects the blocks from environmental factors and increases the service life of the ballast solution. This option provides construction sites with a safe, durable and economical ballast alternative.

The steel element ballast results in a shorter counter-jib, which in turn reduces the slewing radius. Steel is more robust and therefore less susceptible to wear and damage, an advantage for use in inner-city areas with limited space.
