Große Turmdrehkrane

[Gottwald 0]

Hi,

The third 3150 HC was also as the second one a static delivered crane, I own two posters from Liebherr of 2 different kind of platform constructions were on both a 3150 HC is set up ,one of the pictures (I believe the crane above on the picture) has a second slewing ring mounted around the turret with only a cabine and jib .
I will ask around what has become of this crane.
The Thyssen Crane and the Korean crane are the only two i know of that are mounted on a original Liebherr undercarrige,the 3150 in norway on the spmt is a self constructed/designed model.
The 1250 HC's were as far as I know not delivered in exceptional height configurations and only the last 2 for Spain and Korea were delivered with a undercarrige.The one that was owned by Breuer in the early 90 has only seen 3 different job sites (Railway station Cologne,Kraftwerk Rostock and Muhlverbrennung Wuppertal) after the last job in Wuppertal (were I was self in luck to be one of the building team) the crane was sold to a concrete factory as a wharf crane in static configuration mounted on 3 tower sections with 60 meters of Jib

I own some pictures of the Breuer crane in dismantelled state, taken in Hurth before the setup in Wuppertal.



PS do not ask me to post them here because I haven't got a clue how!

5000 HC ? Did I miss something ??
The pinnacle for very big towercranes shure has passed, but astonishingly Kroll just selled their last ever produced K 10000 to Syncrude few months ago... and we see many ( smaller, but not small at all ) upcomers.
And these are obviously sought after models... so let`s wait and see.

Welcome back, S46!!!
You are right , there are some reasons to be optimist. Anyway, I always prefered old towers, from 70s and 80s.
5000HC was quoted together with 4000HC on Liebherr site till a few months ago (for both cranes was indicated a height under hook of 110m).
As a comparisson with crawler cranes, I saw on mamoet cranes site that Kroll K-10000 has a maximum loadmoment of more than 50.000tm, superior to all their crawlers (for instance, for demag cc126000 is displayed a max loadmoment of less than 40.000tm ), although the max load is much bigger for crawlers (1600t against 240t). Is it any mistake here?

@Gottwald: very interesting data! Thanks for posting... So, the Liebherr 3150HC from Verdal was originally statical (mounted on concrete foundation), then it got that customised base. Also, I know that Liebherr in the past had also some giant like 2500C(101m HUH) and 1600/1800C and the customised 450/750C from Saudi-Arabia(hook height 122?, 128?m). Did they manufactured (or at least drafted, only projects) other giants in the top/slewing range?

@Linaprim:

hallo,

On hansebubaforum site someone indicated for Liebherr 450/750C tower from Saudi Arabia a hook height of 128m. From your posting I knew about 122m. Are you sure that value is accurate?
