Liebherr LHM550 cuts loading by a third

Now fully operational, the crane with its impressive 150 tonne hook lift is capable of handling all types of general cargo, containers and bulk commodities. Recently it loaded 30,000 tonnes of scrap metal in 48 hours, a task that previously took 72 hours to complete.

“The mobility and outreach of the crane gives us some new and flexible possibilities,” said Ole Kristiansen, production manager of H J Hansen, one of the leading recycling companies in Denmark.
