sweet, is the lr13000 equivalent to the manitowc 31000?

Nothing runs like a deere with a cat on its back but the link belt ate both of them

I haven't seen the 31000 live yet, but I guess it is more equivalent to the LR 11350

What's the deal with the gray primer look? I thought they were yellow/white?

It's a primer look because it is primer, they are painted in the grey before the actual color scheme.

this is because the crane could be either in a test proses of it is waiting for a buyer. Because the LR13000 for mammoet is all ready red and going to America.

No, the 31000 is the equivalent as the LR 13000, both are 3000t cranes

great pictures, i cant wait to see the Eisele LTM 1750 painted up. The LTR 1220 looks pretty interesting too, seems to sit pretty low with a very wide track base

Ok, I just compared the size of the crane and it appeared to be more a 11350.

i understand, i have seen the 31000 when it was first unveiled and its HUGE! it looks every bit just as big as the LR 13000 even though i have never seen the LR. But yeah, they are both 3000t cranes

Nope! the 31000 is 2300 metric ton crane, which means it's 2535 US tons.

Superb photos and information Carsten so thank you.

I like the way the two ladies are casually sitting under the tracks of the 13000!.

I'd rather a paper weight than a wind chime Teeth Wink

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Dewoc is right, according to Liebherr's website just now the 13000 has a 6,613,800lb maximum lifting capacity or 3306.9 short tons. The 13000 is the largest crawler crane on the market today unless you believe Sany.

The 31000 is, however, the most advanced crawler crane in the world and one of the largest with a 2,535T capacity. I know Liebherr fans may disagree as Liebherr has some high-tech stuff, but the 13000 is just a bigger version of a 20+ year old configuration. The 31000 is going in a new direction....at least I hope it goes somewhere.... Wink

the 31000 should have a better advantage over the 13000, as the 31s CW tray never touches the ground, thus resulting in less ground preparation, the 13000s superlift tray, has to sit on the ground while not in operation, and the 31s ground bearing pressure, with a load, is equal to a m777 or 186psi or 26,784psf! plus the 31 can travel at full capacity!



dont know why i said 2,526 tonsd'oh! i know better than that!
can also lift 1,534 tons with fixed jib and 1,102 tons with luffing jib!

Anyone know how you transport those massive concrete counterweights on the LR? They look larger than what a traditional trailer can haul.
