Liebherr Expands its Mobile Crane Portfolio with MK 120-5.1

Liebherr adds new crane model, MK 120-5.1 to its mobile construction range. The five-axle machine,with 52-metres radius and jib head lifting capacity of 2,100 kilograms,bridges the gap between the MK 88-4.1 and the MK 140-5.1.The crane marks an expansion of Liebherr’s existing MK portfolio and bridges.One of the mobile construction crane’s key advantages is its agility; its small turning circle facilitates site access via narrow streets and intersections.

New crane, new display

The MK 120-5.1 is equipped with the new Liebherr TC-OS display. The TC-OS (Tower Crane Operating System) user interface focuses on ease of use and flexible customisation by the crane operator. Its 12‑inch touch display can be used in split and full screen mode. This means that diverse information can be displayed across different screen areas. The display is set to replace the existing version in all mobile construction cranes by the end of 2025.

Smaller load hook for optimal load positioning

The MK 120-5.1 can be ordered with an optional smaller load hook. This version really comes into its own on sites with existing buildings where scaffolding is in place and the load has to be moved between the building and the scaffolding. It only takes a few minutes to change the load hook on site. The smaller load hook can handle the same lifting capacity as its large counterpart and will soon be available for all Liebherr mobile construction cranes.
