More experience, more confidence: six questions on the new period of use for Liebherr fibre ropes

Liebherr is increasing the period of use of its fibre ropes to up to 12 years in temperate climates and up to 8 years in hot climates, while the overall service life is rising from 14 to 16 years. But what's behind this decision, and why do all ropes already in the field benefit too? Six questions for Jochen Huber, Product Manager Fibre Technology at Liebherr, on the tests, the impact for customers on site, and the wider strategy behind Fibre technology.

Greater confidence through new experience: Liebherr increases period of use of Fibre ropes for tower cranes

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.
