Four Liebherr Luffing Jib Cranes Power Spectacular Triangle Tower Construction in Paris

Four Liebherr 280 HC-L luffing jib cranes are supporting construction of the iconic Triangle building in Paris, overcoming confined urban conditions with advanced crane technology.

30 Second Takeaway Four Liebherr 280 HC-L luffing jib cranes  are playing a central role in the construction of the landmark Triangle building  in Paris , supporting one of Europe’s most ambitious urban high-rise projects. Supplied through HEXAGone Services  and deployed by construction group BESIX , the cranes combine high lifting capacity , minimal out-of-service radius , and advanced climbing technology , making them ideally suited to the project’s confined city-centre site and distinctive triangular geometry. Liebherr Cranes at the Heart of a Paris Landmark In the centre of the French capital, one of Europe’s most striking construction projects— the Triangle building is currently taking shape. For this complex urban development, French crane specialist HEXAGone Services  and international construction group BESIX  are relying on Liebherr tower crane technology . A total of four Liebherr 280 HC-L luffing jib cranes  are operating on site, supporting the construction of the pyramid-shaped structure in one of Paris’s most space-constrained environments. Crane Configuration Tailored to Confined Urban Conditions Two of the four Liebherr 280 HC-L 12/24  cranes are mounted on portal bases  and will climb externally along the building  as construction progresses—an ideal solution for the Triangle’s unique geometry and limited ground space. These cranes will reach impressive hook heights of: 187 metres 152 metres The remaining two Liebherr 280 HC-L 16/28  cranes are mounted on foundation anchors , reaching tower heights of: 85.5 metres 95.7 metres This mixed crane configuration provides maximum flexibility while maintaining safety and efficiency throughout the build. Three Corners for a Visionary Project With its distinctive triangular form , the Triangle building  is set to become a defining feature of the Paris skyline . The structure will measure 180 metres in length  and just 35 metres in width , placing highly specific demands on crane performance and positioning. The Liebherr 280 HC-L luffing jib cranes  are particularly well suited to these conditions, offering: Maximum lifting capacity of 28 tonnes Minimal slewing radius of just 7.5 metres Compact out-of-service position Efficient external climbing technology In dense urban environments such as Paris, the reduced slewing radius and minimal jib overhang are critical advantages for safe and compliant crane operation. Architecture Meets Functionality Designed by the renowned architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron , the Triangle project  will become a vibrant mixed-use destination , incorporating: A hotel Local retail outlets A cultural centre A nursery A health centre Office and co-working spaces In addition to its architectural ambition, the project contributes to Paris’s environmental transition , integrating energy-efficient systems, extensive use of renewable energy , and a strong focus on low-carbon mobility . Collaboration Driving a Complex High-Rise Build The Triangle project stands out not only for its design, but also for the technical challenges involved in its construction . The collaboration between HEXAGone Services  (a French subsidiary of the VAN DER SPEK Group ), BESIX , and Liebherr  highlights how modern luffing jib crane solutions  can be seamlessly integrated into complex, high-rise urban projects.
