This
unbelievable series of lifts at a Liebherr customer day at their
manufacturing centre in Germany is one of the jaw dropping, eyes wide
open moments. The event attracted 1800 visitors across the two days and
certainly didn’t disappoint. Amongst the usual show-casing of new models
and innovations this incredible lift was the focal point of the meet.
It was the brain-child of Hans-Dieter Willim, Liebherr’s chief crane
designer, a very brave and confident man! The largest crane, the LR
13000 lifted the smaller crane and so on,. The engineering, mathematical
calculations and weather forecast must have been incredibly accurate
for the lift to work so well. It’s great to see companies like Liebherr
pushing their machines to the fullest. This exhibition doesn’t only show
how capable the cranes are but creates such a reverberation of chatter
in the construction plant / lifting communities. It’s a great way for
Liebherr to showcase it’s cranes on the world market.
LR
13000 lifted all three cranes -
with a combined weight of 1,430 tonnes which was 94 percent of its
capacity. In front of an astonished
audience, the LR 13000 rotated as well as moved in a travel direction
with this 1,430-tonne-heavy “crane mobile”.
