Liebherr 1000 EC-H Tower Crane Added to Crazy Horse Memorial Project

A new Liebherr 1000 EC-H tower crane will support ongoing construction at the Crazy Horse Memorial, improving lifting capacity and precision on the landmark project.

30-Second Takeaway  An additional Liebherr 1000 EC-H tower crane has been deployed to support construction at the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota. Supplied by Morrow Equipment, the crane enhances lifting capacity and precision for high-altitude operations on one of the world’s largest sculptural projects. With a 50-tonne capacity and up to 80-metre reach, the crane is well suited to the challenging terrain and evolving construction demands. Liebherr 1000 EC-H Tower Crane Crazy Horse Memorial An additional Liebherr 1000 EC-H tower crane is set to support ongoing construction at the Crazy Horse Memorial, enhancing lifting capacity on one of the world’s most ambitious sculptural projects. The crane will be supplied by Morrow Equipment, continuing a long-standing collaboration with Liebherr and the project team. The unit was selected during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, reinforcing its role in supporting complex, high-profile construction environments. Supporting Construction in Challenging Terrain Located in South Dakota’s Black Hills, the Crazy Horse Memorial is carved into Thunderhead Mountain and presents unique logistical and operational challenges. Designed to reach 172 metres in height and 195 metres in width, the monument is one of the largest sculptural projects in the world. The additional crane will support lifting operations in higher sections of the structure, where precision and stability are critical. High-Capacity Lifting and Extended Reach The Liebherr 1000 EC-H tower crane offers a maximum lifting capacity of 50 tonnes and a reach of up to 80 metres, making it well suited to high-altitude and technically demanding construction work. Its performance capabilities enable efficient handling of heavy materials while maintaining stability in challenging environmental conditions, supporting safe and consistent project progress. Precision and Reliability for Mountain Operations Operating on a mountainside requires a high level of precision and dependability. The 1000 EC-H crane is designed to deliver both, helping crews maintain control during complex lifting operations. “The Liebherr 1000 EC-H provides the performance and dependability we need for such a unique environment,” a project spokesperson said. “Its stability and precision are essential to our daily operations on the mountain.” Enhancing Efficiency on a Landmark Project The addition of the new tower crane ensures continued efficiency and safe material handling as construction progresses on the decades-long Crazy Horse Memorial project. Led by the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, the project aims to honour Native American heritage while creating a globally significant landmark that continues to evolve through advanced construction methods and equipment.
