Crane and heavy haulage contractor Sarens has ordered the very first model of the new Liebherr LR 12500-1.0 crawler crane. The Belgian global contractor is convinced by the concept and performance of the new 2500 tonne crawler crane and will primarily be using it in the renewables industry, for example for handling offshore wind turbines.The new LR 12500-1.0 has plenty of power in reserve for potentially increased future requirements.
The new LR 12500-1.0 also marks Liebherr’s response to increasing market requirements for large crawler cranes for the petrochemicals industry and port handling. Handling enormous components for offshore wind turbines at ports, in particular, has become an important area of work for large crawler cranes. With its lifting capacity, the new 2500 tonne crawler crane has also been designed to cover future requirements. Interest in the new LR 12500-1.0 is correspondingly high.
Sarens was quickly convinced by the concept and performance of the new 2,500-tonners and ordered the first unit. Managing Director Carl Sarens says: “The high lifting capacity of the LR 12500-1.0 is the outstanding feature for us. The new crane will enable us to close the gap between our crawler and ringer cranes. We are particularly focussing on jobs in renewables for the new 2500 tonne crane. Handling offshore wind turbines at ports is also becoming a much more important business segment and the weights of components continues to rise.” In developing the transport concept, Liebherr ensured that the new crawler crane can be used economically throughout the world. This is an important criterion for global operators like Sarens.
