Liebherr comes to the rescue
Liebherr recently delivered a new LHM 800 High Rise mobile harbour crane to the port of Esbjerg in Denmark. It arrived only a short time after an incident in the Kiel Canal, in which an LHM 600 ordered by Port Esbjerg was damaged while passing under the Holtenau High Bridge.
The manufacturer sent service engineers and technical specialists to assess the situation on site and to assist with the recovery immediately after the incident. Every effort was made to deliver a replacement unit to Port Esbjerg as quickly as possible - the LHM 800 High Rise.
The first crane of this kind, the LHM 800 for Port Esbjerg, was delivered in 2019. It allows the customer to lift project cargo up to a height of 92 m.
The Danish port is heavily engaged in handling wind energy components for the offshore wind industry: 80% of the offshore wind capacity installed in Europe was shipped from the Port of Esbjerg. (sh)
