Outstanding Mobility
Liebherr mobile harbour cranes are characterised by
their outstanding mobility. Due to the system of inde-
pendent and individually steerable wheel sets (no ad-
ditional infrastructure e.g. rails or power supply are re-
quired) and a very short undercarriage not only are the
smallest turning circles possible but also longitudinal
and diagonal movements of up to 135°. The LHM can
travel in all directions, whether straight ahead, back-
wards, sideways diagonally or even turn around variable
centre points, knowing no limits.
