First public outing for Liebherr tower crane at INTERMAT

Liebherr used INTERMAT 2012 to show its new 380 EC-B 16 Litronic flat-top crane. The 380tonne unit tops the 15-model range, which starts from 50tonnes. The new “flagship” can lift loads of up to 3,400kg at its 75m maximum radius. With the Litronic system, the 380 EC-B 16 can provide up to 20% more load lift at the push of a button. This is achieved by integrating the load-moment limiting system, the ABB operating-range limiting system and the MDA machine data evaluation program.

718 Liebherr used INTERMAT 2012 to show its new 380 EC-B 16 Litronic flat-top crane.

The 380tonne unit tops the 15-model range, which starts from 50tonnes.

The new “flagship” can lift loads of up to 3,400kg at its 75m maximum radius. With the Litronic system, the 380 EC-B 16 can provide up to 20% more load lift at the push of a button. This is achieved by integrating the load-moment limiting system, the ABB operating-range limiting system and the MDA machine data evaluation program.

The 380 EC-B 16 superstructure can be fitted to both Liebherr’s IC or HC tower systems. The IC towers are 1.9 x 1.9metres and the climbing system allows it to climb both on and inside a building. With the IC tower system, the free-standing hook height can be almost 70m, while on the HC tower system that increases to almost 85m.

Speeding assembly are Liebherr’s ‘Connect and Work’ quick-action connections for the jib and counter-jib, LiConnect jib connections and electrical plug-in connections for the drives and switchgear.

There are slip-resistant catwalks on the jib and counter-jib along with safety railings where needed.

A four-chord counter-jib enables five trucks to transport the complete superstructure with each individual part able to fit into a container.

    Bauma 2013 will see the former Waitzinger concrete pump range in Liebherr livery for the first time, following the purchase of the company in October 2012. Liebherr will show four pumps, including the compact 41 M5XXT and the high capacity THP 160H/36 R4XXH. This truck-mounted pump has a four-section 36m boom yet sits on the narrow XXH outrigger supports and is capable of handling up to 160m3/h of concrete delivery.

    January 6, 2017
    Liebherr has developed a hybrid drive system for its HS8300HD heavy duty cycle crawler crane. The 350 tonne machine generates electrical power from its hydraulic free-fall winches, which offer up to 50 tonnes of line pull. Under this Pactronic system surplus energy is stored in a hydraulic accumulator and regenerated to assist the engine, reducing fuel consumption. This reuse of energy also cuts emissions from the machine.
