Crane manufacturer Liebherr offers the 300-metric ton LR 1300 crawler crane. The German company developed a heavy-duty jib for the crane, especially for assembly and maintenance work on wind power installations. For this area of application the crane can be equipped with a narrow telescopic undercarriage for cost-effective travel movements when space on the ground is limited.

Since the end of 2010, Germany-based Liebherr’s LR 1600/2 crawler crane has been adding its strength to the large fleet operated by Neeb, a crane service provider from Wuppertal, Germany. The manufacturer says the 600-ton crawler crane moves rapidly between two sites, still fully equipped and completely ballasted, which reduces cost and limits time.
