Product Description

The Liebherr LR 1160 is a powerful and versatile 160-ton crawler crane, engineered to provide exceptional lifting performance, stability, and adaptability for demanding job sites. It was first introduced at Bauma Munich 2001, following the success of the LR 1140, which was launched in 2000. The LR 1160 was designed with increased lifting capacity, extended boom configurations, and enhanced counterweight options, making it a competitive choice in the global crawler crane market, particularly in the United States.

The crane’s boom system offers a maximum reach of 125 meters (410 feet), comprising a 55.1-meter (181-foot) main boom and a 69.8-meter (229-foot) jib, allowing it to handle high-reach lifting operations with precision. To further boost its lifting capacity, Liebherr included three additional counterweight pieces, making the LR 1160 capable of competing with 180 US-ton class crawler cranes in heavy industrial and infrastructure projects.

Powered by a high-torque Liebherr diesel engine, the LR 1160 delivers strong lifting performance with optimized fuel efficiency. The crane’s hydraulic winch system provides precise load control, while its slewing system enables 360-degree continuous rotation, allowing for efficient and accurate load positioning.

The crawler undercarriage is designed for superior ground stability, enabling the LR 1160 to operate on soft or uneven terrain without the need for outriggers. Its modular counterweight system and quick assembly design make transportation and setup efficient and cost-effective.

Inside the operator’s cab, the LR 1160 offers an ergonomic layout with climate control, an advanced touchscreen interface, and joystick controls, ensuring comfortable and precise operation. Liebherr’s LICCON (Liebherr Computed Control) system provides real-time load monitoring, automated safety features, and remote diagnostics, enhancing safety and efficiency on job sites.

With its strong lifting capacity, extended boom configurations, and enhanced counterweight system, the Liebherr LR 1160 remains a reliable and efficient crawler crane for demanding lifting applications, delivering performance, stability, and precision in heavy-duty construction environments.
