LR 13000 - The most powerful of its type.

  • The ultimate:

    The most powerful crane in the world with a maximum lifting capacity of 3300 USt / 3000 t.

  • Hoist height: 774 ft / 236 m:

    With the maximum boom system of 394 ft / 120 m main boom and 413 ft / 126 m luffing jib.

  • No derrick ballast:

    The crane can operate with no derrick ballast thanks to its increased turntable ballast. This means it can be used flexibly and quickly for small hoists between heavyweight hoists.

  • Easy to transport:

    The concrete ballast slabs can be transported easily and at low cost in the form of a 20’ Twistlock container.

  • Fail-safe:

    Redundant drive units make the crane essentially fail-safe.

LR 13000

The LR 13000 is the most powerful conventional crawler crane in the world. One of its main areas of use is power plant construction. This requires the continuous hoisting of extreme component weights. These requirements apply in refineries, as well, where industrial columns weighing 1500 t (3,307,000 lb) and measuring 100 m (328 ft) in length have to be erected. And what's more, with individual maximum weights of 70 t (154,400 lb), this gigantic crane can be transported at low cost throughout the world despite its size. The LR 13000 is the only crawler crane in this class which can also operate without derrick ballast. This is made possible by a slewing ring which our engineers have developed and which we manufacture in-house, featuring an extreme lifting capacity. Even the largest product in our portfolio can increase its lifting capacities using the PowerBoom.
