Game of Cranes: Liebherr is looking for the world's best mobile crane operator

• Liebherr organizes international competition for customers

• Safety, skill and technical understanding required

• The winner will receive a shop voucher worth €2,500 for his company

Which company has the best mobile crane operator? The crane manufacturer from Ehingen, Germany, invites its customers' crane operators to participate in the international "Game of Cranes" competition. The competition focuses on the question: Who can best demonstrate their skills and expertise and claim the title? Participants compete in three disciplines: safety, dexterity, and technical understanding.

Ehingen (Donau) (Germany), April 7, 2025 – "The job of a crane operator requires technical understanding, skill, and a sense of responsibility. With the 'Game of Cranes,' we not only want to honor the skills of crane operators, but also raise awareness of the profession," says Michaela Gogeißl from Liebherr Customer Training, adding: "We look forward to numerous participants and an exciting competition!"

Here's how to participate with Liebherr:

Registration: Using the QR code with a link to the Liebherr homepage, companies can nominate a mobile crane operator to register for the competition between April 7 and May 18, 2025. All Liebherr mobile crane customers worldwide can participate.

Voting: Registered crane operators promote their participation in the competition on social media on behalf of their company with a video or photo demonstrating their skills. Whether driving a 2-axle crane or a 1,200-ton crane, the most impressive performance counts. The more votes the video receives by July 2025, the better.

Qualification: Who makes it to the preliminary round in September 2025 depends on various factors – both the number of votes and the assessment by Liebherr mobile crane experts.

Preliminary round: If the qualification is successful, the competition moves on to the regional preliminary round. Depending on the customer's location, a total of five representatives from participating companies travel to either Newport News (USA), Guaratinguetá (Brazil), Adelaide (Australia), Azuqueca de Henares (Spain), or Dammam (Saudi Arabia) per region. Here, the crane operators demonstrate their skills and expertise in three disciplines.

Final: The five best crane operators will be invited to Ehingen, Germany, in November 2025. Those who prevail against their competitors in the disciplines of safety, skill, and technical understanding will not only be able to call themselves the winner of the "Game of Cranes." The Liebherr customer can also boast of having the world's best mobile crane operator on their team.

Prize: The top three winners will receive vouchers for their company (1st place €2,500, 2nd place €1,250, 3rd place €500) to redeem in the Liebherr shop – unlimited in time and applicable to multiple purchases.
