“On your site," is Liebherr’s motto at this year’s ConExpo, representing the company’s promise to be always at the customers’ side around the world, whether it is directly on the construction site with machines or through individual advice and global services and solutions.

Liebherr is also working to reduce the ecological footprint of its products. Examples of battery-operated or electric products and a hydrogen injection engine, the H964, suited for heavy-duty applications will be on display at ConExpo.

Higher efficiency through maximum performance

Liebherr says flexibility and economical transport also characterize the LRT 1130-2.1, a two-axle rough-terrain crane with reportedly the longest telescopic boom in its class on the market at 197 feet. The LRT 1130-2.1 has a maximum lifting capacity of 140 tons.

The 470 EC-B, Liebherr's largest flat-top crane in steel rope design, has a maximum lifting capacity of 35,270 to 44,090 pounds. It will be displayed for the first time in North America.
