A defective gearbox on a wind turbine had to be replaced on a mountain ridge at an altitude of almost 1,600 metres. Despite gusts of up to thirteen metres per second, the crane was able to replace the twelve-tonne component in the nacelle at a height of around 65 metres. Find out more

Slewing bearings and drives by Liebherr contribute to the exploration of the universe

Liebherr's components product segment and mtex antenna technology join forces to provide the antennas for the next generation Very Large Array antennas (ngVLA), which will offer a glimpse into the infinite space reach. The ngVLA will be the largest radio astronomy facility in the Northern Hemisphere. The azimuth adjustment of the antennas is made possible by three-row roller bearings with a diameter of three metres and perfectly matched slewing drives. In addition, gear ring segments together with the drives ensure accurate elevation adjustment of the antenna. The perfect interaction of slewing bearings and drives guarantees precise control and positioning of the antennas for the exploration of the universe. Find out more

150-tonne lifting capacity: Liebherr expands its telescopic crawler crane line-up with the LTR 1150

Liebherr has expanded its range of telescopic crawler cranes with a new 150-tonne machine. The LTR 1150 is positioned exactly between the LTR 1100 and the LTR 1220. Although the new crane offers around 50 per cent more lifting capacity than the LTR 1100, it can be transported just as easily and economically as its 100-tonne sibling – complete with crawler carriers at a total weight of 60 tonnes and a transport width of 3.5 metres, or optionally without crawler carriers at a total weight of just 38 tonnes and a width of only 3.0 metres. The LTR 1150 is the first telescopic crawler crane to be equipped with the Liebherr VarioBase®, which enables the crane control to determine the optimum load capacity depending on the track width and angle of rotation.
