For replacing tons of assembly counterweight, Liebherr has brought an amazing solution to the composition concept of crawler crane which is immensely applicable to the wind farms. The crane system, generally, works to elevate huge amount of counterweights and it is somewhat challenging and expensive to meet the requirement. But with the help of Liebherr’s advanced approaches, it is now easy for the professionals to deal with the challenging tasks.

Liebherr, a German-based company, has developed an advanced methodology for its LR 1600/2 crane systems, in order to deal with the wind constituents that demands extended booms. During the demonstration, Liebherr presented the mechanism and told that how LTR 1220 can be utilized as a derrick counterweight. It was joined by more than 50 members from the industry. On the other hand, the new methodology has also made the Liebherr crane repair procedures easier and simpler for the professionals.

LTR 1220 has swapped 280t of the 350t of derrick balance, which is needed to create and to lower the SL10DFB key boom mechanism. While creating and lowering the system, the supplementary LTR 1220 is utilized as a balance, linked to the telescopic boom utilizing a connector.

Moreover, the new methodology does also bring high safety and security to the professionals while dealing with the ballast. LTR 1220 can speedily provide balance if it is needed especially when a strong wind wave takes place.

Here, the novel methodology is well attuned with all kinds of long boom mechanisms measuring up to 156m long.
