Liebherr’s Crawler Crane LR 1160.1 Unplugged!

Take a look at the Liebherr LR1160.1 Crawler Crane unplugged:

• Zero Emission: The crane causes no emissions and significantly less noise. Thus, the crane is also suitable for operation in areas sensitive to noise.
• Electric engine: The innovative crawler crane has an electric engine.
• Unplugged (battery powered): The battery is designed to last for a 4-hour lifting work.
• Plugged in: The crane can operate fully when connected to a conventional electric supply, or be recharged within 4.5 hours.

The LR 1160.1 unplugged is one of the world’s first battery-powered crawler cranes. It is driven by an electric engine. During operation the crane can be connected to a conventional electric supply or without a cable, therefore “unplugged”. The capacity of the battery is designed for 4 hours lifting operation. There are no compromises regarding performance or availability when compared with the diesel version LR 1160.1.

• 160t     Maximum Load Capacity
• 136m   Maximum Hoist height
• 84m     Maximum readius

Liebherr’s global service network with experienced technicians and fast access to spare parts ensure high machine availability and a long product service life.

With the radio remote control a second person outside the cab can assume all crane movements. Loads can be moved to positions which are not even visible to the operator himself. Safety on the construction site is thus increased considerably.
