As more and more battery powered heavy construction equipment is being released to help lower noise and emissions on the jobsite, I shouldn’t be that surprised to hear about a battery powered crawler crane – but, I still am.

From their amazing footage on top of Europe’s new tallest building, to their 58 cranes working on the world’s largest airport, to one of their cranes lifting 3 other cranes at the same time, the company knows cranes and knows how to show them off.
Liebherr’s most recent video highlights one of their 30 LC tower cranes being lifted, hauled, and placed on the small island of Santa Clara by a helicopter. Santa Clara Island sites off of the coast of Spain and features steep sides reaching up to 157 feet high, clearly not an ideal place to haul in a bunch of crane parts by boat.
The Liebherr 30 LC Tower Crane reaches a maximum height of about 98 feet and a maximum lifting capacity of 5500 pounds, or 2200 pounds at its maximum radius of 98 feet. According to Liebherr, the crane’s parts had to be carefully planned to meet the helicopter’s lifting capacity.

Another video highlighted the 58 cranes that were on site at the same time at the world’s largest airport build in Istanbul. Well, the company is back at it again, this time on top of Europe’s new tallest building.
