Liebherr announces first LPS 600 in Germany to boost logistics for J. Müller

It is equipped with functions such as an electric drive, a motorised grab and more, and is designed to increase the efficiency of bulk and general cargo handling in the port. The use of a largely closed grab reduces emissions when handling dusty dry bulk such as grain and animal feed. Under ideal conditions, up to 1000 tonnes of dry bulk can be handled per hour. The crane can also be used to handle unitised cargo such as pulp, timber, steel, wind turbines and project cargo. The crane’s reach also allows direct ship-to-ship handling. These factors help to maintain and further expand the port’s importance for the region.

“Our investment in the LPS 600 will significantly improve our handling performance for dry bulk materials such as grain, feed, scrap, minerals, and for general cargo such as iron and steel, project cargo, wind turbines, wood, and pulp. The aim is to ensure smoother and more efficient operation and ultimately to increase throughput,” says Jens Ripken, Managing Director of J. Müller Weser GmbH. “We are confident that this crane will not only meet our current requirements, but will also support our future growth and expansion plans while meeting our sustainability goals. Liebherr’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction is evident in every aspect of this project.”

The LPS 600 is the first rail-mounted portal crane in the port of Brake. The crane’s features include an oversized cable drum and a curved chassis with various pivot points and special seals on the wheels, which ensure improved mobility and better flood protection.
