El final de una era: la última grúa sobre orugas LR 1600/2 abandona la fábrica de Liebherr en Ehingen

Después de más de 220 unidades, llega a su fin: Liebherr deja de fabricar uno de los modelos de grúa sobre orugas más emblemáticos de su historia. La última unidad de la LR 1600/2, concebida sobre todo para trabajos en el sector eólico, se entregará a finales de octubre. Liebherr lanzó al mercado su sucesora, la LR 1700-1.0, en junio de 2021 y ya goza de una gran popularidad entre los clientes de todo el mundo, al tiempo que está destinada a convertirse en uno de los referentes dentro de las grúas sobre orugas para el sector de la energía eólica.

The components of both product areas come directly from Liebherr site in Biberach (Germany). In customer applications, this interaction results in advantages that extend well beyond the respective individual product strengths.
