This is a 1,200 metric tonne crane. The closest comparable Liebherr would be the LR 11350, which is 1,350 metric tonnes. The smaller version, the LR 1750, can take days to build up, and then several days more to tear down. I don't recall how long it takes to build an 11350, but it's not quick. a hydraulic all terrain also has the advantage of flexibility in the main boom length, and takes far less room to assemble than a crawler.
I bet this thing turns more heads better than any 2 million dollar exotic super car. This is a very high quality video. This is terrific material for a scale modeler like me to try scratch building.
WOWOWOWOW, thanks EVER so much for the video, this is something you would never see normally. It really shows just how bloody ingenious Leibherr have been with the design of this crane, really clever trick stuff.
Depending on how many parts you disassemble the crane, but minimum, one for the base plaform (self powered), other (fairly big) for crane and another for ballast parts. Count on 2 additional trucks and maybe 5 - 6 people for the assembly.
@kratzerxxx @kratzerxxx no there is no Phil based Mammoet, but they do contracts projects here. Mammot pays for local riggers from few rigging companies here like Royal Cargo.
that was trully impressive and was nice to see the disassembly procedure too. so when u buy this crane it comes with the 2 extra trucks for the boom and the accesories? and does it also come with that white opel corsa? lol joking about that
Makes you wonder why a crane like this was even built, surely its not for weight, has to be for reach, or height, a company could probably buy two have size cranes and make more money.
