“The V-frame makes us extremely flexible”
October 10, 2020
When a major bridge construction project was started two years ago by Deutsche Bahn in southern Germany, Wiesbauer and its Liebherr LR 11000 crawler crane received the order to remove a 100 year old iron railway bridge. After two years operating with a temporary structure, the new bridge was finally installed at the site around 20 kilometres from Stuttgart at the beginning of September. However, the large crane used for the initial work was no longer available to conclude the construction project. Like many other models of this crawler crane operated by European crane contractors, that LR 11000 is now in long term use for “Buckner Heavylift Cranes” at a major wind power project in the USA.
