Customised LHM 800 for Denmark

Lindø port of Odense in Denmark has ordered a customised 308 tonne Liebherr LHM 800 mobile harbour crane.

The custom built machine is powered by an electric motor, has a maximum lift height of 96.7 metres and features a high rise tower extension, which Liebherr says makes it the largest and strongest mobile harbour crane ever built by the company. It joins a Liebherr LHM 550 mobile harbour crane and will handle offshore wind turbines at the port, which at 6.4 million square metres is Denmark’s largest by area.
