Crane control system
A raft of improvements promise to make Liebherr’s LHM series of mobile harbour cranes fit for the future.
The new ‘Master V’ system together with upgraded software allows for more automation and a smarter, networked crane.
Newly improved features include sensors to monitor the outrigger system position and cameras to better monitor both the interior and exterior crane environment. The new crane control is supplied by an independent power circuit so monitoring can continue without the crane ignition being activated.
New hybrid system – Pactronic 2.0
The second generation of the hybrid hydraulic drive offers two operating modes – Boost and Eco. In the former, the Pactronic 2.0 amplifies power, increasing lifting speeds without the aid of a larger or additional engine.
Green mode is designed to save fuel or power consumption and to reduce CO2 emissions. During the lifting process, the Pactronic supports the main unit to such an extent that less power is required by the main drive, despite the lifting speeds remaining the same.
The cabin has been redesigned to integrate control lever and armrest increasing comfort and safety and the air conditioning system has been improved meaning windows are quickly demisted, providing a clearer, safer view.
