Tower Cranes
Precision Lifting for Complex Projects
Liebherr’s luffing tower crane models range from 195 HC-L (6 tonnes) to 710 HC-L (64 tonnes), delivering precision, power, and reliability for the most challenging lifting environments. Designed for urban high-rise and infrastructure projects, these cranes offer exceptional flexibility and control, even in the tightest spaces.
History of Liebherr Tower Cranes
Liebherr revolutionised the construction industry in 1949 with the development of its first mobile tower crane, the TK 10, designed to meet the rebuilding demands of post-war Europe. This innovation combined mobility with lifting capability, setting a new standard in crane technology.
Over the decades, Liebherr has remained at the forefront of crane engineering, introducing advanced systems for precision, safety, and sustainability. Today, Liebherr’s luffing and top-slewing tower cranes are trusted worldwide for high-rise buildings, infrastructure projects, and complex lifting operations, continuing a legacy of innovation that spans more than 70 years.
Why Choose Liebherr Luffing Tower Cranes?
Unmatched Technology: Advanced engineering ensures smooth operation and precise load handling.
Space Efficiency: Luffing jib design allows operation in confined sites where horizontal jibs are restricted.
High Capacity: Models scale up to 64 tonnes, meeting the demands of major commercial and civil projects.
Sustainability: Electric drive systems support zero-emission targets and reduce site environmental impact.
Minimum Space. Maximum Adaptability.
Out-of-Service Position
An improved out-of-service position enables greater flexibility when positioning cranes, optimises lifting coverage, and allows for more cost-effective operations by making it possible to use smaller cranes on large construction sites. This efficiency in positioning multiple cranes enhances overall productivity.
Minimum Radius
With a low minimum radius, loads can be lifted closer to the tower — a major advantage for confined urban construction sites. Trucks can also be unloaded closer to the crane, reducing the need to lift loads over roads. This improves safety, saves space, and allows for more adaptable crane placement.
Reduced Collision Circle Radius
The compact counter-jib design makes these cranes ideal for space-restricted environments. For even greater flexibility, the collision circle radius can be further reduced using optional steel ballast when required.
