Liebherr Tower Cranes and Tenstar Expand Partnership to Advance Crane Operator Training

Liebherr Tower Cranes and Swedish simulator specialist Tenstar Simulation have expanded their partnership to enhance crane operator training through advanced simulation technology. The collaboration introduces Liebherr tower cranes into the Tenstar simulator ecosystem, improving safety, efficiency, and scalability for operator qualification programmes worldwide.

30-Second Takeaway Liebherr Tower Cranes has officially expanded its partnership with Tenstar Simulation to include tower crane training simulators. Announced at Conexpo 2026 in Las Vegas, the collaboration introduces realistic training environments for Liebherr tower cranes, helping operators develop skills safely and efficiently while reducing training costs and machine downtime. Liebherr Tower Cranes Expands Partnership with Tenstar Simulation Liebherr Tower Cranes has officially expanded its collaboration with Swedish simulator specialist Tenstar Simulation to further develop digital crane operator training solutions. The agreement was formally signed during Conexpo 2026 in Las Vegas, marking another major milestone in Liebherr’s ongoing digital training strategy. The expanded partnership now includes Liebherr tower cranes within the Tenstar simulation ecosystem, following earlier collaborations involving Liebherr earthmoving equipment and crawler and mobile cranes. At the official signing ceremony were: Marco Guariglia, Managing Director Sales, Liebherr Tower Cranes Freddy Lund, CEO, Tenstar Simulation The partnership aims to improve operator safety, training accessibility, and workforce development while reducing operational training costs for customers worldwide. Simulator-Based Crane Training Becomes a Strategic Industry Priority The construction industry continues to face growing challenges related to skilled labour shortages and crane operator qualification. Training on Real Cranes Remains Expensive and Time-Consuming Traditional training using live tower cranes often requires: Extended machine downtime Dedicated training sites Higher operating costs Increased safety considerations Liebherr said simulator-based training provides a practical and scalable alternative for preparing new operators before they enter active construction environments. Controlled Training Environments Improve Safety and Efficiency The Tenstar simulator platform enables trainees to practise: Basic crane operation Construction site procedures Lifting operations Coordination tasks All training takes place in a fully controlled and risk-free environment. The company said this approach significantly reduces the number of training hours required on actual tower cranes, lowering the overall cost of qualification programmes while improving operational readiness. Tenstar Simulator Replicates Real Liebherr Tower Crane Operation The Tenstar simulation platform creates a highly realistic 4D training environment designed to replicate the behaviour and operation of actual Liebherr tower cranes. Initial Training Package Includes Two Liebherr Tower Crane Models The first software package developed under the agreement includes training scenarios specifically designed for: Liebherr 370 EC-B Liebherr 620 HC-L Both cranes are widely used on global: Building construction projects Residential developments Infrastructure projects The simulation environment mirrors real-world crane behaviour, operating logic, and lifting controls to prepare operators for live site conditions. Rapid-Deployment Cranes and Assistance Systems to Follow Liebherr confirmed that future simulator developments will also include: Rapid-deployment cranes Advanced crane assistance systems Additional Liebherr crane models The company said the modular design of the Tenstar platform allows new training environments and machine types to be integrated without replacing existing hardware. Future Multi-Machine Training Scenarios Planned One of the long-term goals of the partnership is the development of collaborative simulator-based construction site training. Networked Simulators Could Replicate Real Jobsite Coordination The Tenstar platform supports multi-machine simulation environments where several simulators can operate together simultaneously. This creates opportunities for: Team-based lifting exercises Site coordination training Multi-operator communication scenarios Realistic construction workflow simulations Liebherr believes this capability could significantly improve operator preparedness for increasingly complex construction projects. Liebherr Continues Investing in Workforce Development and Digital Training Liebherr described the partnership as part of a broader long-term investment in operator competence and workforce development. Digital Training Supports Customers Throughout Equipment Lifecycle According to Liebherr, the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to supporting customers beyond equipment delivery by improving: Training quality Operator competency Safety standards Operational efficiency The company said digital training technologies will continue playing a growing role in the future of construction equipment operations worldwide.
