A superb team from Clausen Kran AG with technical assistance from Liebherr in advance and perfect crawler crane technology made the extremely difficult approach possible. Geri Clausen is completely happy with his Liebherr telescopic crawler crane. He commented, “We have lots of sites where this highly manoeuvrable crane is simply perfect.” Max. lifting capacity 132,300 lbs at 6.5 ft Max. load moment 188 tm Main boom 33 ft - 131 ft Lattice jib 31 ft - 52 ft Superstructure-/central 34,400 lbs / 22,050 lbs ballast Engine output 175 h.p Travel speed 0 - 1.9 mph • Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH Bauer & the Hong rock at depth of 2 to 5 meters.
