The new 1000 EC-B 125 Litronic was recently used to erect an Enercon wind turbine in Wardenburg in the Rural District of Oldenburg. With a lifting capacity of 125 tonnes, this Flat-Top crane is the largest crane in the Liebherr Tower Cranes Division product range. First unveiled at the Bauma 2013, the largest trade fair for construction machinery in the world, the crane attracted a great deal of interest.
The 1000 EC-B was first used in North Germany. Near Oldenburg, in Wardenburg, the Flat-Top crane was used to erect a new Enercon E-101 wind turbine with a hub height of 135 m. Customers have recently reported good experience with erecting wind turbines using the 630 EC-H 70 Litronic crane which has been adapted to this application. Liebherr tower cranes have already erected a very large number of wind turbines.
The lifting capacity of the new crane is 125 t in the six-line version or 100 t in the four-line version. The Flat-Top crane can reach the required lifting height of 149 m for the project with a single guy on the tower of the wind turbine. It can operate in free-standing mode for such projects up to a lifting height of 108 m.

Liebherr aumenta da 14 a 16 anni la durata complessiva delle proprie funi in fibra, mentre la durata di utilizzo, determinante ai fini dell’impiego, aumenta fino a 12 anni. Alla base di questa decisione vi sono prove di invecchiamento pluriennali condotte su banchi prova e analisi delle funi già in servizio. La nuova disposizione si applica automaticamente a tutte le funi, sia quelle nuove sia quelle già in servizio.

Five questions that show why planning a tower crane deployment is more complex than you might think
On spectacular construction sites, it's the structures that take the spotlight. But building bridges, tunnels or skyscrapers in the first place often demands equally extraordinary crane concepts. From the Sagrada Família in Barcelona to the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel in Denmark, Liebherr supports demanding tower crane deployments worldwide. Max Widder, Head of Project Planning at Tower Crane Solutions, gives insight into the challenges behind some of the most complex crane projects in the world.
