Barge slewing cranes – LBS
LBS-type floating cranes are floating material handling islands and combine all the advantages of the Liebherr harbour mobile crane series with customer-specific barges and pontoon solutions.
The LBS-series is well-adapted for moving loads between ocean-going ships (up to the post-Panamax class) and barges as well as small riverboats in inland waterways.
LBS-series
Load capacities | LBS 800 | LBS 600 | LBS 550 |
Bulk cargo (on the ropes) | 75t @ 34m | 75t @ 26m | 52t @ 28m |
Container (on the spreader) | 50t @ 49m | 50t @ 33m | 42t @ 29m |
Heavy load (on the hook) | 150t @ 24m | 140t @ 14m | 51t @ 29m |
The load capacities may vary depending on the application. |
Advantages at a glance
Floating-cranes are autonomous units that require no harbour area at all and can be operated anywhere in the harbour water area.
Another area in which the LBS-series can be deployed is in the support of land-based cranes, particularly to relieve load during peak times.
