SELF ERECTING TOWER CRANES Ӏ SECTOR SPOTLIGHT
for a rebranding. The new
company look is designed to highlight the company's approach to emission-free lifting, encapsulated in the slogan ‘Mission to Zero-Emission’. To complement the company’s
rebranding it has also just launched a completely redesigned website which went live at the end of March. While the visual identity has
been given a modern touch, says Spierings, it remains true to the company’s core values of innovation, sustainability, user- friendliness, and loyalty. It says the refresh symbolises
Spierings’ strategic direction: although the appearance is evolving, the Spierings spirit remains the same: personal, accessible, and ahead of the curve.
FUTURE-READY Liebherr will also use Bauma 2025 to showcase the latest upgrades to its established range of K series bottom-slewing, fast-erecting cranes making them, what it describes as, ‘future-ready’.
Liebherr’s
Positioning Pilot assistance system allows the crane to automatically navigate to saved points and plotted routes
The new models, the 43 K, 61 K and 91 K succeed the 34 K, 53 K, 81 K.1 respectively, while there is also Additio All, apart from the 125 K,
receive performance boosts. The 43 K, for example, has two more metres of radius, four more metres of hook height, and its maximum jib head lifting capacity has been increased by 200kg compared to its predecessor. Similarly, the 61 K now offers
three metres of additional radius, a 2.4 metre higher maximum hook height, and up to 200kg more jib head lifting capacity. Helping facilitate these
increases, and cementing the cranes’ ‘future-ready’ status, is the availability of Liebherr’s latest suite of intelligent assistance systems. All the new K cranes come with Liebherr’s latest control and operating systems. This means Liebherr Control 5 for the crane control system and Tower Crane Operating System 2 (TC OS 2) for the operating system. The control system is robust
and durable, says Liebherr, as demonstrated by the current L series of fast-erecting cranes in which it is also installed. The control system is also utilised in a variety of other construction machines within the Liebherr Group. The TC OS 2 has a standardised
menu navigation which, Liebherr says, is intuitive via its use of self- explanatory symbols and icons. It also has a standardised radio control (standard across all cranes in the current K and L series).
INTELLIGENT THINKING But what does the adoption of the new control and operating system in the upgraded K Series cranes mean for crane operators? It means enhanced operator assistance as there are now five intelligent assistance systems available (also now available on Liebherr’s L series bottom-slewing cranes, too). This is largely thanks to the
control system’s high processing power which enables all
