Liebherr - LR 1800-1.0 First job for wind power

The brand new LR 1800-1.0 from Colonia Spezialfahrzeuge had its first job in a wind farm in Marsberg, about 120 kilometers from Essen. Around 70 vehicles transported the components for the windpower version of the machine to the site. Four towers from system manufacturer Enercon had already been erected by a Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 mobile crane with heights of up to 88 metres and were now ready for completion.
When the new machine was erected for the first time, the team from Colonia received active support from three service personnel from Ehingen and the Liebherr repair centre in Oberhausen. After around six days, the LR 1800-1.0 towered into the air with a 171 metre main boom and a 12 metre jib.
