As a leading manufacturer of comprehensive, innovative products and technologies for wide-ranging requirements, Liebherr is helping to shape the future of the wind energy industry. High-performance cranes and material handling machines can be seen in use in the construction of wind turbines, both on land and on the open seas. Our specially developed components for wind turbines are extremely reliable and durable, even in extreme conditions, making them suitable for the high quality standards required in the wind energy sector. With high-quality geared parts and the production of quality concrete for tower segments, Liebherr has the fields of gear technology and concrete technology covered.
With Liebherr at your side, you can rely on a strong partner whose decades of experience and technological expertise are helping to make wind turbines more efficient and longer lasting. Together, we can propel the wind energy industry and the future of renewable energies forward.
Our areas of expertise in the wind energy sector
In the maritime sector, Liebherr offers the right solution for a wide range of requirements of the wind power industry. Whether loading wind turbine components in the port, transporting them or even erecting wind turbines at sea, only the most powerful players from our maritime product range of ship cranes, mobile harbour cranes and offshore cranes are up to the task.
When it comes to erecting wind turbines, the economical and high-performance mobile and crawler cranes from Liebherr have been proving their prowess for decades. Available in various load capacities, they are designed specifically with the needs of the wind energy industry in mind. We are rising to meet the increasingly high requirements by constantly optimising our cranes and boom systems.
Since 1996, Liebherr has been producing high-quality and reliable components for the operation of wind turbines. These include slewing bearings (main bearings, blade bearings, azimuth bearings) and drives (pitch drives and yaw drives). Our products that are designed specifically for the challenges of the wind energy sector find application in blade adjustment, yaw systems and rotor bearing.
Towers made from concrete segments constitute the very foundation of wind turbines. The high-performance mixing plants in the Betomat and Betomix series from Liebherr are used to manufacture concrete used in these sophisticated segments. Thanks to precise process controls and moisture-measuring systems, the concrete is perfectly matched to the strict quality requirements.
In wind power, components are required to satisfy extremely strict quality standards. Liebherr gear cutting machines make an essential contribution to this, since they ensure the best possible production quality of all toothed parts, for example the slewing bearing for rotor blade and yaw adjustment. The manufacturing technologies include gear hobbing, gear shaping and skiving, as well as generating grinding and profile grinding.
