Liebherr LHM 120

Training centre manager Ann Baats said: “Liebherr is an important provider of maritime cranes in the port of Antwerp and its importance is growing. As a result, the demand for high quality Liebherr crane driver trainings has risen tremendously. The installation of the additional Liebherr crane enables OCHA not only to increase its capacity of mobile crane trainings. The new LHM 120 allows OCHA to combine the training in a high-tech simulator with intensive training in the crane, upholding the benefits of the safe and simulated environment of OCHA. This way of training enhances the learning curve significantly with high returns on productivity, safety and quality for our clients.”
