The fully electric crane is already handling high volumes of clinker and cement, a demanding workload that previously fell to the company\u2019s long-serving LPS 400 installed in 1999.<\/p>\n
Port workers say the shift to the newer model has been seamless. \u201cThe LPS 420 was a natural choice for us,\u201d said a Nuh \u00c7imento representative.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstallation was quick and easy, just like a Lego. Our operators adapted to the new crane very quickly because it is practical and easy to use. It feels like a continuation of what we already knew, but with more power and less effort.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the old LPS 400 helped define the design standard for Liebherr\u2019s portal slewing cranes, maintenance needs had begun to mount. The new crane has clear performance advantages \u2013 smoother slewing thanks to a closed hydraulic circuit, tighter control via the Litronic system and lower energy consumption through its electric drive.<\/p>\n
The upgrade aligns with Nuh \u00c7imento\u2019s broader operational realities. Its port, with a 595-metre berth and capacity for vessels up to 80,000 deadweight tonnes, relies on fast turnaround times.<\/p>\n
Crane availability, the company says, is non-negotiable. \u201cOur cranes must be ready to work when needed,\u201d the representative added. \u201cWith Liebherr, we have ensured a safe and reliable working environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liebherr officials describe the project as a continuation of a decades-long partnership. \u201cThe LPS 420 delivers a future-ready solution that supports their evolving operational and environmental goals,\u201d said Andreas Ritschel, general manager Sales Mobile Harbour Cranes at Liebherr-Rostock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
