Liebherr - LR 11000 with PowerBoom in Cuxhaven

The latest Liebherr crawler crane in the 1000 tonne class positioned a gigantic machine room on the tower of a wind turbine in Cuxhaven, Germany.

The parallel boom which drastically increases load capacities was recently used for the first time on the LR 11000:
The heaviest component of the system was the massive machine room. With a radius of 30 metres the LR 11000 together with the load cross beam and hook block hoisted a total load of 220 tonnes to a height of 130 metres.

Just for comparison, without the PowerBoom, it would only have been able to hoist around 160 tonnes with the same hook height.
