LIEBHERR L SERIES CRANES UPDATED
Liebherr has overhauled its L1-24 and L1-32 fast-erecting cranes with new crane control and operating systems, new assistance systems, plus extensive crane component optimisation. The revision of the L series sees the crane size specified in metre tonnes, with immediate effect. To reflect this Liebherr has changed the cranes’ nomenclature and so they are now known as the 25 L and 33 L. The updated L cranes are being
launched on the market with substantial changes to the structural steelwork, an improved hydraulic system and a new modular drive system. Another new feature is a standardised radio remote control for all new Liebherr bottom-
slewing cranes. Liebherr explains that the standardised operating concept makes it easier to switch between the L and K series, which increases flexibility and reduces the amount of training required. The L series fast-erecting cranes are the
first machines of their type to feature the fifth generation of Liebherr’s own control hardware, Liebherr Control 5, which is already being used by a number of other Liebherr Group construction machines, including mobile excavators, dumpers, deep foundation equipment, mobile harbour cranes, and wheel loaders. The control system is designed to be robust and durable to meet the demands of such a diverse range of uses. Liebherr says
The 33 L The 25 L
that strong vertical integration within the Liebherr Group ensures that spare parts are available long term. Software-wise, the cranes are fitted with the second gen of the Tower Crane OS (Tower Crane Operating System 2). This means that the cranes have a new user interface, which top-slewing cranes from the EC-B series began using in 2021. Liebherr says that the new control
system is also an important step towards the cranes' future viability as it opens the door to new assistance systems, and the software architecture itself is designed for future expansion. Software updates are also easy, it adds. Assistance systems that are possible with the new control system are designed to further increase safety and efficiency around operations and processes on site.
