Maritime cranes
Versatile
all-rounder
---

Liebherr’s range of mobile harbour cranes (LHM) is extremely versatile making it an universal all-rounder. The LHM is a
key asset for handling all types of cargo from containers to bulk commodities, general cargo and even heavy lifts up to
308 tonnes at 18 metres outreach and up to 100 tonnes at 47 metres outreach. The product range covers all vessel sizes
up to megamax and capesize. Diverse applications and varying terminal designs call for different equipment configurations.
The Liebherr mobile harbour cranes ­enable full modularity, and so flexibility, across the entire product range. The travelling
system, whether rubber-tyred, rail-mounted or a floating unit, can be easily adapted to meet the port infrastructure.
This also applies to the drive concept which can be chosen from a conventional diesel engine, a hybrid drive or an electric
drive system.

 A new evolutionary stage
---
The Liebherr mobile harbour crane series enters a new evolutionary stage and gets ready for the future.
The new LHM is more digital, more efficient and impresses with a modern exterior design. A new
crane control system, advanced sensor integration and digital information transmission enable
future assistance and partial automation systems. In addition, the Liebherr Pactronic hybrid system
and the operator’s cab have been improved to meet customer needs.

Electronic
control unit
The decisive innovation of the new LHM is the
implementation of the “Master V” crane control
system. Together with an even more efficient
software architecture, this forms the basis for
integrating future assistance and partial automa-
tion systems into the crane in the long term.
Overall, the crane will become much more
digital, networked and smarter.

Pactronic 2.0
The Pactronic 2.0 hybrid system represents the
second generation of the Liebherr hydraulic
drive system using hybrid technology. Pactronic 2.0
offers the operator a choice of two operating
modes, depending on the current work situation:

Boost mode
In this mode, the Pactronic acts as a significant
power amplifier. Lifting speeds are significantly
increased – without the aid of a larger or even
additional main unit for more power.

Green mode
This mode is designed to save fuel or power con-
sumption and to reduce CO2 emissions. During the
lifting process, the Pactronic supports the main
unit to such an extent that less power is required
by the main drive, despite the lifting speeds
remaining the same.

Maritime hub on the baltic sea
From Rostock to the world: Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH,
founded in 2002, develops and manufactures ship cranes,
mobile harbour cranes and offshore cranes. Reachstackers
and components for container cranes are also covered in its
product portfolio. The plant’s location direct at the Baltic
Sea provides the best logistics conditions.

Ready for operation

When shipping large equipment semi-erected or even fully
assembled by Ro-Ro vessel means that Liebherr mobile
harbour cranes can be ready for operation immediately after
driving off the vessel onto the quay.

Achieving excellence
Before shipment, every crane is put through an intense
factory testing program. This means that every single crane
is fully assembled and tested before delivery, which results
in extraordinary quick commissioning. Under normal condi-
tions Liebherr mobile harbour cranes are assembled and
ready for operation within just two weeks after delivery.
