MOBILE ASSEMBLY UNIT
Telescopic boom assembly for mobile cranes
With telescopic boom assembly, LIEBHERR and Genkinger have initiated a paradigm shift in crane boom assembly. This impressive assembly process achieves more efficient, ergonomic, and safer handling. At the Ehingen site, where mobile and crawler cranes are manufactured, LIEBHERR is creating the conditions to achieve a planned long-term increase in production of up to 50% more cranes.
Part of the conversion process is a custom device from Genkinger for the assembly and testing of up to seven individual telescopic profiles. When assembled, the telescopic sections, which are up to 14 m long, form booms up to 90 m long for LIEBHERR mobile cranes. In this equipment class, the company offers telescopic cranes with lifting capacities from 30 to 750 t. The new telescopic assembly device is used for cranes with load capacities from 70 to 250 t.
Our video shows the interaction between the assembly device and the telescopic sections.
