Liebherr LR 11350 and LR 11000 crawler cranes working in tandem

An industrial port was opened in May 1900 at Kehl in Baden-Württemberg. In May this year, this small border town on the German side of the River Rhine near Strasbourg was the venue for another impressive event – two crawler cranes moved cargo weighing around 900 tonnes onto a barge in a spectacular tandem hoist. “Never before in almost 120 years of its history has such a heavy item been handled at our Rhine port using cranes”, says Jürgen Preiss. And Preiss, a member of the port management team, knows exactly what he’s talking about.
