Efficient transport
Weight-optimized construction and compact design distinguish the components of
Liebherr crawler cranes. Both of these basic features – low transport weight and low
dimensions – enable Liebherr to guarantee quick and economical transportation to
the site. All equipment can be transported on standard trucks and many crane parts
are designed to fit into standard containers.
Furthermore, the transport volume is reduced by placing the luffing jib sections into
the main boom sections on easy-slide pads, and thanks to their low height, counter-
weight pieces can be placed below the boom sections for transportation. Specially
designed brackets allow storage of the pendants and pins on the boom sections.
