Dedication to quality
Ship cranes are permanently installed on a vessel and used for a wide range of applications from bulk handling to heavy lifting. Liebherr ship cranes are designed to withstand harsh environments at sea and work reliably in remote areas. Today, Liebherr’s portfolio covers models from compact and versatile ship cranes to powerful heavy-lift cranes.
Customers with long-term ambitions benefit from Liebherr ‘s design philosophy and dedication to quality. Thanks to an unprevailled high level of in-house production, modern manufacturing facilities and selection of high-quality components, Liebherr ship cranes ensure reliable operation throughout the lifetime of the vessel.
Liebherr ship cranes - LS
The LS series features leading-edge heavy-lift cranes with either all-electric or electro-hydraulic drives. LS cranes excel through their superior control system Litronic, uniquely mastering the most important criteria of modern cargo lifting – precision, speed and safety.
Liebherr ship cranes cylinder - LS-C
The LS-C series comprises versatile cylinder-luffing ship cranes that are suitable for container handling and/or general cargo. The compact design makes them robust and space-saving. Due to the high boom pivot point vessels achieve their maximum intake of cargo, while steadily remaining in stability.
Something memorable
We are really proud of it: Meet our new cranes, featuring a fresh design and new name - yet maintain the same quality, reliability and effectiveness. The new designations allow direct assignment to Liebherr ship crane in combination with the maximum lifting capacity. From LS to LS-C: so you know precisely what you'll require in the future.
Areas of application
Heavy lift handling
The handling of heavy goods on appropriate ship types presents particular challenges in terms of technology and demands the highest level of precision and safety. Liebherr ship cranes with capacities of up to 1000 tonnes enable the independent handling of heavy goods and breakbulk in ports. To unleash the full crane potential, several cranes can be operated in tandem.
Container & general cargo handling
Multipurpose and container ships require space-saving, fast and reliable crane solutions. The Liebherr range of cylinder luffing and
wireluffing ship cranes comprises economical and functional material handling equipment for containers and break-bulk cargo.

Cranes with history
With Liebherr products, you profit from decades of experience in the design and construction of ship cranes. Liebherr has been supplying the shipping industry with a broad variety of ship cranes since 1958 when the first ship crane was developed at the Liebherr factory Biberach. The B36 ship crane had a lifting capacity of 3 tons, and even back then the focus was on loading operations that shortened lay times.
Much has changed over the years, such as the lifting capacity of our ship cranes, which can now lift up to 1000 tons. The names have also changed over the years: From B36 to LS and LS-C. The new designations allow direct assignment as Liebherr (L) ship crane (S) in combination with the maximum lifting capacity at the end of the designation. The core competencies remain unchanged: Safety, speed and reliability still characterize our ship cranes more than 60 years later.
