Last year we were impressed by Liebherr's LB 16 Unplugged drill rig, and in 2021 the company translated that alternative drive technology to produce the world's first battery-powered crawler cranes, the LR 1250.1 and LR 1200.1 Unplugged. This advancement helps operations minimize their environmental footprint, reduce noise levels in sensitive environments and can give contractors a competitive advantage when bidding for jobs that have stringent emissions requirements - elevating crawler cranes into new territory.
Liebherr also expanded its Generation 8 crawler excavator lineup this year, with the addition of the 28-tonne R 928 G8. With this new excavator, Liebherr focused on optimizing the weight of the machine for easy transport and a boost in breakout force performance.
