 Product Range
Through many years of experience and technology strictly orientated towards customer requirements, a range of products has
been created which sets new standards in innovation, quality and reliability.

The BOS crane is a rope luffing type offshore crane with open
A-frame design. The crane is available in various sizes and
different lifting capacities ranging from 25 t up to 1200 t. The
boom length is adjustable and can be extended up to 102 m for
some models.
The BOS cranes are suitable for any kind of offshore installation,
either floating or bottom supported, as they provide all
appropriate safety and safeguarding systems and features.
The crane provides its own onboard power pack (either
electric-hydraulic or diesel-hydraulic, each with closed
hydraulic loops) which is located in an enclosed and weather-
proof compartment underneath the A-frame. As an option the
BOS crane can be upgraded and certified for man riding and for

Offshore Cranes Cranes for Subsea Operation

In general, offshore cranes are slewing cranes with safe working Cranes for subsea operation are used to handle loads in water, as
loads up to 150 metric tonnes, mounted on a bottom-supported well as lower and lift loads to or from the seabed.
or floating offshore installation. Typical duties include load and
cargo handling to and from supply vessels, barges or semi-
submersibles as well as the support of oil drilling and production
activities.

Heavy Lift Offshore Cranes

Heavy lift offshore cranes are lifting appliances mounted on
barges, semi-submersibles or other vessels. They are typically
used in construction, deconstruction and salvage operations in
a marine environment with safe working loads higher than 150
metric tonnes.

 Crane Layout - Structure Overview

Liebherr offshore cranes use the most advanced design, engineering and production technology and consist of the following main
constructional groups:

Design Philosophy / Structural Design Structural Materials

The use of modern 3D design tools and finite element analysis
allow detailed structural studies, including fatigue analysis and
weight optimisation.
Our offshore cranes are designed and manufactured in strict
accordance with the applicable design rules and regulations and
the appropriate norms and standards.
All materials for the primary steel structure of the crane and the
crane pedestal meet or even exceed the requirements of the
certifying authorities.
As a standard, materials are certified according to the relevant
EN standards, certification level 3.1. Other certification levels are
optional and can be quoted upon request (e.g. for low temperature
applications, class notation etc.).

5 Boom
The boom is a lattice framework construction with the boom tip being a shell structure which accommodates the luffing and main
hoist sheaves. The hoist winches (main and auxiliary winches) are located in the pivot section of the boom. A boom extension and
auxiliary hoist are available as an optional extra.
To achieve the required working outreach, the standard boom pivot sections and standard boom heads can be combined with variable
intermediate sections. For the connections between the various boom sections bolted flanges are provided.
Luffing and hoisting sheaves on the boom head are lubricated from a centralised greasing point located next to the boom head which is
accessible from the boom walkway. A hook garage is available for the main and auxiliary hoist.

Boom Pivot Bearing

Maintenance-free, capsuled spherical bearings ensure optimal transmission of force and maximal lifetime expectation.

 Driver Comfort

The operator‘s control desk is fully equipped with all controls and indicators as required for safe and reliable crane operation. The
design and layout of the cabin is based on the need for visibility, comfort and operability.
It provides a comfortable, low noise environment, essential for ensuring uninterrupted concentration for the driver when operating the
crane. Vibrations are reduced through swing equalisers.
The window sections are of tinted anti-glare toughened safety glass mounted in an innovative glass frame providing a clear view of the
operational area and the handled loads.

 Environmental Record
With its headquarters located in an environmentally protected area, ecological issues have always been high on the agenda for
Liebherr. The implementation of economy software, biodegradable oils and special noise insulation throughout its offshore crane
range are just a few examples of Liebherr’s ecological awareness.

Operating Liquids
Upon request, all Liebherr offshore cranes can be run on bio-diesel to comply with local regulations and the transition to alternative
fuels in customer equipment fleets.
Liebherr offers biodegradable oil especially developed for the Liebherr product line. In combination with spectrographic oil analysis
techniques, oil lifetime is extended thus providing components such as pumps and motors with even longer lifetimes.

Eco-control
On request, Liebherr offers a special power management feature for diesel engine driven cranes. This "Eco-control" renders savings
in fuel consumption of up to 25% depending on the crane application and therefore results in reduction of noise exposure and
environmental contaminants.

 Production and Transportation
A clearly defined company strategy guarantees that only top quality products are developed and built in the most modern
production facilities.

Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock Factory Testing

In order to further expand its position in the international
maritime market, Liebherr established an additional production
site for offshore cranes in Rostock’s harbour district on the
German Baltic Coast in 2006.
The production facility in Rostock plays an important role in
the further growth and development of the international market
position of our maritime product divisions.
Overall, the Liebherr Group has three state-of-the-art production
sites for offshore cranes (Nenzing/Austria, Rostock/Germany
and Sunderland/UK).
Upon request, each offshore crane can be put through an intense
factory testing programme (FAT). This means that every single
crane is fully assembled and load tested before delivery which
results in an extraordinarily quick commissioning schedule.
Fully Assembled Transportation
Thanks to its direct access to the sea, Rostock is very well
situated in terms of worldwide sales logistics, especially when
shipping large equipment. Crane in parts, semi-erected or even
fully assembled, are possible means of transportation from the
Rostock location.

 The Liebherr Group –
Partner for the Future
Today, Liebherr is among the leading manufacturers in the fields of hoisting technology and materials handling equipment. The name
Liebherr stands for products and services. It has become a synonym for ideas and innovations.

Liebherr – A Family Enterprise

In family-operated companies, ownership merges with active
entrepreneurship. This results in characteristic principles.
Liebherr is both a family business and a corporation. This does
not have to be a contradiction, as the continuous success and
steady growth prove.
To create top products, the development capacities and pro-
duction facilities must measure up to the highest standards. This
requires substantial investments. From stable locations, Liebherr
is following a solidly financed expansion course. The profits
made are almost entirely retained within the Group. This provides
ample scope for extensive investments. The economic power of
the Liebherr Group is best shown by its unusually high equity
ratio of more than 50%. This sound economic basis makes
Liebherr highly independent in its strategic decisions, and it
provides an important basis for future investment and innovation
strategies. Offering high-quality products and services which are
aimed towards customers’ needs remains the benchmark.

18
Mastering Key Technologies
In view of the high quality that Liebherr demands of its pro-
ducts, mastering key technologies internally and keeping core
competencies in-house has always been of great importance
to the company. Therefore, Liebherr develops and produces
crucial components, such as the entire propulsion and control
technology, themselves. Further examples are hydraulic
components, slip ring elements, and diesel engines. Here, Group
suppliers are measured against the best and most efficient
external provider.
Decentralized and International,
Based on Tradition
Operating efficiently in manageable, self-dependent units and
aiming strategically at emerging markets have always formed
part of the basic business principles. Thus, Liebherr regularly
invests substantially in further marketing and service companies
as well as in new production sites. Entering and expanding
into new markets means being locally available to assure the
customer receives full and lasting manufacturer support.
While maintaining the proven decentralized organizational form,
a divisional company structure, whose international expansion is
being carried forward, was implemented globally.
