NEW LIEBHERR LR 1100.1 CRAWLER


The new 100 tonne class LR 1100.1 crawler crane from Liebherr-Werk Nenzing has been designed for a wide range of tasks. It can be configured either with a main boom up to 62 m, or with a main boom up to 44 m in combination with a fixed jib up to 20 m. The LR 1100.1 is fitted with a 230 kW


engine, the most powerful in its class, says Liebherr. An Eco-Silent Mode reduces the engine speed to a predefined level – reducing diesel consumption and noise emissions without affecting performance. An Automatic Engine Stop Control is designed to switch the engine off, after checking certain system functions, during longer work interruptions. Liebherr said the crane is optimised


for quick transfer between construction sites. At the construction site, the assembly of the LR 1100.1 is simplified The crane has radio remote control. This allows the crane operator a high degree of flexibility and additional safety even during operation, said Liebherr. The crane can be operated from outside the cabin and so allow for a better overview of the construction site. Blind spots can thus be better avoided. The cabin of the new crawler crane can be elevated by 2.8 m to allow for a good all-round view. For the safe negotiation of slopes and inclines, the new crane is fitted with Gradient Travel Aid. The control system automatically calculates the centre of


gravity and warns the operator before the crane leaves the safe area. While travelling, the operator receives information about the permissible and actual gradient and the crane's overall centre of gravity at all times. If necessary, the


boom angle can be altered so that the machine remains in the safe area. Read more about the development of Liebherr’s crawler crane offerings in the feature by Stuart Anderson on page 24.
