Liebherr’s reworked 172 EC-B 8 Litronic flat-top crane, presented for the first time, has had its jib been extended 2.5m to 62.5m.
The crane, which can be supplied with the new 16 EC, 16 HC, 17 HC and 21 HC tower systems, can now hoist 1,800kg at the jib head, and its maximum load capacity is still 8,000kg.
The maximum free-standing hook height of the crane remains at 71.4m.
The new crane will be presented on the 16 EC tower system alongside the LiUP internal crane driver elevator, which is powered by a lithium-ion battery with an energy recovery system that is compatible with both the EC and the HC tower systems.
