Brasfield & Gorrie begin a new chapter with Liebherr

Brasfield & Gorrie has taken delivery of its first Liebherr crane, an LR 1300.1 SX crawler crane. The handover marks an important milestone in the new partnership between Liebherr and the U.S. contractor, expanding the company’s capabilities for demanding infrastructure projects.

Supporting a major bridge modernization project

Brasfield & Gorrie is working with the Tennessee Department of Transportation on a major bridge modernization project in Memphis. The newly acquired LR 1300.1 SX will play a key role in the work, delivering the lifting performance required for complex project demands while helping the contractor execute operations efficiently and limit disruptions to traffic.

Brasfield & Gorrie is one of the largest privately held construction firms in the United States. With more than 60 years of experience, the company plans, builds and manages complex projects across multiple markets. Its expertise and focus on reliable project execution make the LR 1300.1 SX a strong addition to its equipment fleet.

Performance, safety and efficient transport

The Liebherr LR 1300.1 SX offers a maximum lifting capacity of 330 USt (300 t) and a maximum hoist height of approximately 554 ft (169 m), making it well suited for demanding infrastructure and heavy construction projects.

In addition to its impressive lifting performance, the LR 1300.1 SX incorporates advanced assistance systems designed to improve operational safety and efficiency. These include a gradient travel aid to assist the operator when maneuvering on uneven terrain, Ground Pressure Visualization to display exact ground bearing pressure in real time, and integrated barge load charts within the load moment indicator (LMI) for lifting operations on barges.
