With the new LR 1400 SX, Liebherr extends its range of crawler cranes to include lifting capacities of up to 400t. With the compact transport weight of 46 t, the complete crane can be easily transported between jobsites. Platform and railings remain attached to the uppercarriage during transportation and only need to be folded down.
The four crawler drives make it easier to manoeuvre the LR 1400 SX on jobsites where space is tight. The track width adjustment simplifies access on narrow roads.
Despite its size, the LR 1400 SX has a wide range of applications and has already convinced the first German customer, Depenbrock, with its flexibility. “For barge operation, the available barge load charts for any configuration and any possible counterweight combination are crucial. The modular counterweight system is very good. If a smaller counterweight is sufficient, the unit can also be used on a correspondingly smaller barge. “This makes the use of the LR 1400 SX very flexible,” says Andreas Handel, head of mechanical engineering-hydro construction, Depenbrock.
