Liebherr 750-Tonne Mobile Crane Expands Heavy Lifting Capacity

Richter deploys an additional high-capacity mobile crane to support infrastructure, industrial installations, and wind energy projects requiring heavy lifting and flexible deployment.  www.liebherr.com Large infrastructure and energy projects require mobile cranes capable of handling heavy components while remaining flexible enough for transport and rapid deployment across multiple sites. In this context, Liebherr has supplied a third LTM 1750-9.1 mobile crane to Richter Kran- und Schwerlast GmbH, expanding lifting capacity for projects in infrastructure construction, industrial plants, and wind power installations. Fleet expansion for heavy infrastructure and energy projects Richter Kran- und Schwerlast GmbH, based in Leipzig, has added another LTM 1750-9.1 to its fleet in response to increasing demand from infrastructure, industrial, and energy projects. The nine-axle mobile crane, rated for 750 tonnes lifting capacity, supports operations including bridge construction, transformer installation, industrial plant assembly, and maintenance work in the wind power sector. With the addition of the third identical crane model, the company can deploy multiple high-capacity units simultaneously or substitute equipment if a project schedule changes. Using identical crane models also simplifies logistics planning and road transport permitting for large lifting equipment. High lifting capacity with modular boom configurations The LTM 1750-9.1 increases load capacity through a Y-shaped guying system, which stabilizes the telescopic boom during heavy lifts. The crane can also be equipped with a luffing jib, enabling lifting heights of up to 156 metres. These configurations support the installation and maintenance of wind turbines and large industrial components that must be positioned at significant heights. Such lifting capability is particularly relevant in wind energy projects, where nacelles, tower sections, and other heavy components must be placed precisely during installation or dismantling operations. Rapid deployment across multiple project sites Following handover, the new crane was deployed immediately to project sites in Germany. Its first assignment took place in northern Bavaria, where the nine-axle crane lifted industrial plant components weighing up to 80 tonnes for a ceramics facility in Selb. For this operation, Richter provided both transportation and lifting services. Heavy-duty transport vehicles from the company’s logistics division collected the plant components from northern Sweden before delivering them to the installation site. After completing the initial lift, the crane moved to another project in the Bergisches Land region to support the erection of a new wind turbine. A subsequent assignment involves dismantling eleven older wind turbines between Leipzig and Dresden. These projects illustrate the crane’s use across industrial installation, renewable energy infrastructure, and dismantling operations. Standardized crane fleet With the new addition, Richter’s fleet includes 18 cranes, covering lifting capacities from 60 tonnes to 750 tonnes. The fleet also includes MK mobile construction cranes and an LTR 1100 telescopic crawler crane, and consists entirely of Liebherr equipment. www.liebherr.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
