Applications
Crawler cranes are the construction industry's heavyweights, effortlessly navigating every terrain. The preferred choice for heavy-duty projects in construction and beyond, crawler cranes bring the power and finesse needed to get the job done.
Civil construction
Bridge segments are often handled with demanding lifts. Also the surroundig areas, often mountainous or marshy landscapes, have to be considered.
Industrial applications
With lifting solutions of up to 3,000 t, LR cranes can handle loads in every possible industrial application.
Petrochemical and power plants
One hundred percent reliability, safety and accuracy are required when construction works are executed in power plants or in the petrochemical industry.
Wind energy
Quite often the best winds are where the ground is hard to reach - if there is ground at all. This is where our LR crawler cranes come in, at onshore installations or mountainous areas, flat lands or even offshore sites.
Port and floating
Especially in cities, the river can be used as an alternative transport route. Crawler cranes carry out lifting operations on floating structures. Building materials, which are transported and discharged on the river, take trucks off the road, limit traffic jams and protect road users.
Deep foundation
Our crawler cranes serve as optimal carrier equipment. With attached leader system, they are suitable for all common piling and drilling methods. They excel through large working ranges and enable particularly effective lengths.
Safety First
Our crawler cranes have an excellent array of safety equipment. Our specialists conduct stringent tests on every crane to ensure they meet our exacting quality standards.
We also deliver the latest expertise to crane drivers and customers. This enables us to highlight specific dangers in crane operation to ensure greater safety for everyday work.
Test loads for reliable and safe operations
We adopt the very highest safety standards for the design of our crawler cranes. This particularly applies to the structural values. Our engineers calculate every single crane's structural integrity with a high safety margin.
Every single crane has to pass a whole series of intensive, continuous tests and checks both during the entire production process and afterwards on our own test site. The test load for the crane acceptance procedure on the test site is around 25 percent higher than the standard load capacity.
We enhance industrial safety
Crane drivers and operating personnel often have to work at great heights. To keep them safe, we’ve developed an effective safety concept to provide the best possible safety standards. Collective safety equipment such as railings and handles on crawler cranes prevent from falling.
In addition, we fit every new crane with a fall arrest system. The safety harnesses are attached to steel cables which run along the boom using carabiner hooks. The PPE has undergone a whole series of tests and has received multiple certificates from state safety authorities.
We support in windy conditions
We are committed to making crane operations safe. One of our focal points is the clarification of risks and dangers caused by the effects of wind. Wind can exert additional or reduced forces on a crane and can change character in a matter of seconds. It acts on both the load and the crane. The wind load can often not be detected by the crane control.
We provide information about these effects and simple, readily understandable training on how to calculate the maximum permitted wind speeds in a given situation.

- Noise control
Clear field of vision
The new cabin ensures unobstructed views of all surroundings. In case the working area is out of sight, the camera system steps in and fills all blind spots.
Battery-powered and smart
Zero emission
Trendsetting: The first battery-powered crawler crane in the world.
Not only emission-free, but also very silent.
Crane Planner 2.0
Planing & lifting - Liebherr provides solutions for every step of your project. All work steps from picking up to setting down the load can be simulated on the PC.
Believe me, I have driven many cranes, but never experienced handling performance as smooth as this.
The crane reacts without delay. Drive concept and crane control system are perfectly balanced.
