Bulk Handling in
Open Sea
A range of high performance Liebherr
cranes is available for loading/unloading
vessels up to Capesize in open sea.
Optional features and equipment are
offered to meet with the most diverse requirements
whether on a barge or transshipper.

Complete Floating
Crane Concept
A co-operation agreement between
Logmarin Advisors and Liebherr
presents a new dimension to
bulk handling. This new concept
optimizes efficiency providing extensively
increased turnovers and so reductions in costs.
The combination of Logmarins vast experience
in dry bulk material handling and transshipment
designs and Liebherrs heavy duty high
performance four-rope grab cranes ensures upto-the-minute high quality products.

Bulk Handling in
Sheltered Waters
Liebherr has an extensive pallet
of bulk handling cranes suitable
for operation in sheltered waters
ranging from wire luffing cranes
with motor grabs through heavy duty slewing
four-rope grab cranes to heavy duty double girder
four-rope cranes. All three types can be equipped
with various optional facilities to meet customers
specific requirements.

Special Solutions for

Bulk Handling
Innovative modifications of existing
product lines provide efficient
solutions for the rapidly evolving
shipping and logistic industries.
The machines are based on proven Liebherr
designs which have been adapted to meet with the
individual and specific demands of our customers.

Heavy duty, high performance slewing or double girder grab cranes provide
a highly efficient and flexible solution for installation on barges and transshippers.
Safe and precise crane operation is ensured with Liebherrs own Litronic crane
control and management system. Specially designed heavy duty hoisting
winches, heel trim alarm systems and emergency operation functions make
these cranes suitable for loading/unloading bulk cargoes in heavy sea state
condition, so ensuring efficient and uninterrupted transshipment of goods
on vessels up to Capesize.

Type CBG 300 and Type CBG 350

Two crane sizes in grab operation are available:
- CBG 300, 30 tonnes at 28 metres
- CBG 350, 35 tonnes at 36 metres or
45 tonnes at 32 metres (maximum jib length)
compact slewing column design and low weight
low centre of gravity due to lower position of main components
dust prevention in the machinery room through dust filters at the pedestal entrance
low maintenance costs
Additional optional features:
Extended cabin (7-8m) for optimum visibility and safer operation
Ex-centre platform of up to 10 m for increased outreach allowing access to each hold

Type MPG
Capacity of 45 tonnes at 38 metres in grab operation

allows loading/unloading of Capesize vessels with 45 m breadth from only one

side in order to reach the complete hold
reduced crane height and therefore centre of gravity
Liebherr Litronic Robot Control (LRC)
Dynamic Anti-Collision System (DAC)

Sheltered waters
Bulk handling and transshipment in sheltered waters can be performed by
a wide range of Liebherr cranes starting with slewing cranes with single
rope or motor grabs through to heavy duty high performance slewing
or double girder four-rope grab cranes, depending on the individual
requirements of the customer. As for cranes performing in open sea, safe
and precise crane operation is ensured with Liebherrs own Litronic crane
control and management system.

Type CBB 350

The CBB wire luffing crane is suitable for multi-purpose and bulk handling on vessels up
to Panamax size. Equipped with either a single rope or motor grab these cranes are an
economical solution nevertheless providing efficient performance.
For operation as floating crane:
CBB 30, 32 tonnes at 32 metres in grab operation
0 tonnes at 32 metres in hook operation
unobstructed view due to improved position of first jib bracket
double beam boom for high rigidity, less corrosion and easy repair
luffing through jib bracket instead of jib head, therefore less maintenance costs,
less power consumption and higher luffing speed
very reliable and easily maintained fully hydraulic control system
hoisting and luffing gear of easy to maintain open loop type
slewing gear of closed loop type for independent speed control
The CBG and MPG type cranes can also be applied in sheltered waters for loading/
unloading vessels up to Capesize. The features of these cranes as detailed in the section
Open Sea apply.

LBS Liebherr Barge Slewing

This new floating crane concept, Liebherr Barge Slewing (LBS), is conceived for midstream
operation in ports and sheltered waters, on rivers and in coastal waters; for ship to ship as
well as ship to shore handling. Based on the Liebherr mobile harbour crane series, the LBS
models are precisely tailored to meet individual requirements and manufactured according to
a uniform design principle combined with purpose-built barges as customer specific solutions.
In its floating crane concept, Liebherr combines state of the art technology and over 40 years
of experience in the maritime crane field with the expertise of established barge manufacturers.
Ship to ship handling
transshipment and midstream operation between ocean-going vessels and river
barges on different types of waterways, including those having no or few quays.
Ship to shore handling
direct cargo transfer from ship to shore. Especially when quays reach capacity limits
this solution poses an alternative to cost intensive modification of infrastructure
preventing cargo-handling bottlenecks. In addition LBS cranes can support existing
handling equipment providing a flexible response to fast changing requirements in
peak times. If the water alongside the quay is too shallow preventing ships of a
particular size from landing the LBS is applicable as a stopgap between ship and quay
replacing investment in expensive quay walls and deep-draught berths.

For the flexible handling of individual loads or bulk materials, Liebherr offers
many machines specially modified for such tasks, for example, its Duty Cycle
Crawler Cranes. Liebherr is a leading manufacturer of modern hydraulic
crawler cranes. The wide range of equipment and attachments available
enables them to be converted rapidly and without difficulty for either cargo
or bulk material handling.

Duty Cycle Crawler Cranes Type HS

The wide range of modern Liebherr Hydraulic Crawler Cranes includes machines with lifting
capacities between 43.5 t and 200 t. The flexible high performance machines can be equipped
with all common types of grabs and draglines and can be operated either on shore or on board
a barge in sheltered waters. This provides the user with high flexibility and enables high utilization.
As an option the upper structure can be directly mounted onto a barge or ship to remain
permanently on the vessel. A wide range of optional equipment can be offered, as for example:

a raised operators cabin for an unrestricted view into the vessels hold
an adapter between the cranes undercarriage and upper structure to raise the boom pivot
point
an extended safety package with access ladder guards, wide catwalks, additional mirrors
and an acoustic travel warning signal
additional anti-corrosion coat and hot-dip galvanized cabin

All Liebherr Crawler Cranes are equipped with the modern Litronic control system and offer
precise online load-moment computing to allow maximum use of available load capacities.
Low operation costs and high reliability are further significant advantages.
