2018 Liebherr Barge Slewing Cranes LBS 550

LBS-type floating cranes are floating material handling islands and combine all the advantages of the Liebherr harbour mobile crane series with customer-specific barges and pontoon solutions.

The LBS-series is well-adapted for moving loads between ocean-going ships (up to the post-Panamax class) and barges as well as small riverboats in inland waterways.

Features may include:

• If terminals reach the limits of their capacity, LBS floating cranes are optimal alternatives to cost-intensive, infrastructure-related modifications to the quayside.

• Floating-cranes are autonomous units that require no harbour area at all and can be operated anywhere in the harbour water area.

• Another area in which the LBS-series can be deployed is in the support of land-based cranes, particularly to relieve load during peak times.
