Heavy lift offshore crane ready for operation

The first CAL 64000-1500 Litronic, a heavy lift offshore crane developed by Liebherr-Werk Nenzing GmbH, is now ready for operation. 

The crane is installed on the “Innovation”, a vessel belonging to HGO InfraSea Solutions, which was named in Bremerhaven on 3rd September. 

With this new product Liebherr meets the increasing demand for high performing heavy lift cranes and strengthens its position as world market leader for cranes in the offshore industry. Within the past two years eight heavy lift cranes were delivered for the heavy lift jack-up vessel market throughout the world – no less than five of them are Liebherr products.  
 
The CAL 64000-1500 Litronic achieves a maximum lifting capacity of 1,500t at a maximum working radius of 31.5m. Even at a working radius of almost 46 m the crane is still capable of lifting 1,000t. The boom length is 105 m and the dead weight of the crane is 1,500t. Another fascinating feature is the lifting height of over 120m above deck. A special component of the heavy lift crane is its slewing ring with an outer diameter of 13m and an inner diameter of 11m.
