Cranes playing ...

And here live at the bauma

From the side ...


... and from the rear ...


... great interest.

T 282 B

... is the name of the King Kong of trucks.



The Southern German excavator specialist Liebherr built the world's largest truck - and presented it at the "bauma", the international trade fair for construction machinery in Munich. The visitors gazed at the monster which weighed 222 tons (even without load) as if it was the eight wonder of the world. There is enough space in the enormous dumper to easily build a detached house.

To Day it's off to Munich

After three years at last bauma - the international trade fair for construction machinery and vehicles - takes place again.

What I'm already looking forward to is the Liebherr LTR 1060:



Liebherr adds a 60-ton vehicle to its product range of telescopic crawler cranes. At bauma 2010 the new LTR 1060 will be presented for the first time.

What the heck is the LR series?

Crawler cranes from Liebherr

With the LR series, Liebherr offers a well-balanced range of lattice boom crawler cranes. In the class below 300 metric tons, low transport weights, rapid self-assembly, optimum load capacity values across the entire working range and comprehensive operating information are among these cranes’ main functional features.

Special mission on Europe's largest port construction site

...admittedly, this was some time ago, but it is still worth having a look at:

The dimensions are gigantic. In this huge project, 37000 tons of sheet piling steel are processed, 10000 tons of reinforcing steel are laid, 60000 cubic metres of concrete are processed and ten million cubic metres of sand are dredged. The construction of the sheet piling on the water side in the river Weser under full tidal influence is the most important and at the same time most complex stage of the entire project. Therefore, numerous cable dredgers from the Liebherr plant in Nenzing with special add-on units are used. In the years 2004 to 2008 bremenports constructed a further 1681 metres of riverside quay, Container-Terminal 4, out of the bare earth as it were. This gigantic project required a total of ten million cubic metres of sand to create a new working area for the terminal on a site of approx. 90 hectares, where four new berths were built for mega-container vessels.
