Single Beam Lattice Construction
Description
• Single beam of monobox lattice construction for main beam
and boom, where the individual members are of box type
rectangular section.
• Used on all Liebherr high performance container cranes for
over forty years.
• Welded down solid member trolley rails.
• Members of the boom & beam are made from high tensile
steel - S355J2+N to DIN 17.

Advantages by Design
• Reduced crane deflection/structural sway. • High tensile steel, allows a lighter overall construction and a
reduced wind area.
• Maximum boom and beam rigidity levels achieved (without
a weight penalty while giving considerable increases in • Reduces overall crane self weight, minimises wheel loads
operational performance. and assists in ensuring crane stability in out-of-service
conditions.
• More precise container handling and driver comfort.
• The monobox design ensures that the trolley travel path
• Reduced boom width - Allowing quick and efficient handling
is parallel throughout, eliminating the possibility of trolley

designs.
• Ideally suited for eccentrically loaded containers.

Boom/Beam Hinge Point

• Unique concept developed over 25 years and refined over
that period.
• Hinge point section of the trolley rail has a specially machined
profile, bolted into position.
• Low stressed hinge pin connection which is below and close
to the rail transition area.
• Designed to provide a shock free transfer from boom to
beam and vice-versa, regardless of climatic conditions and
with full trolley speed and maximum trolley load.
• Reduces driver fatigue. Improved performance and extends
the lifetime of the trolley, wheels, bearings etc.

Self Powered Trolley

Description
• Fabricated structure with machining after welding, to ensure
correct alignment of wheels and drive system.
• Easy replacement and alignment of trolley travel wheels.
• Machined pads throughout to aid alignment and dimensional
checks.

Advantages by Design
• Fine positioning/inching accuracy. All wheels are direct • Extended trolley wheel lifetime, due to non-skewing trolley
driven with individual braking systems. and accurate alignment.
• All components are easily accessible for maintenance. • In the event of one motor failing, the trolley can continue
working at reduced speed.
