HKV’s Liebherr LR 1500 crawler crane extremely flexible for handling heavy loads and erecting construction cranes, bridges and wind turbines

Managing Director Michael Schmitz is full of praise for his 500 tonne Crawler Crane: “The fact that you can complete two jobs in a week demonstrates its fantastic transport logistics and the fast set-up time of the LR 1500”.

Crawler Cranes of this size are normally not the first choice for erecting construction cranes. But in this case it was the most economical solution. “Since we could get closer to the Tower Crane with the crawler after we had set up the boom system, which meant we could reduce the radius, the load case was easier to achieve than if we had used a large telescopic crane, for example an LTM 1750-9.1”, said Schmitz.
