The Liebherr CBG 500
Liebherr has launched its first all-electric transhipment crane, the CBG 500 E, which can be configured for a range of operations including bulk and container handling.
The crane combines state-of-the-art drive technologies with Liebherr’s own crane control system Master V which forms the basis for integrating future assistance and automation systems into the crane long-term.
Fitted with the LiCaTronic energy recovery system, which makes optimum use of the energy available, the CBG 500 is able to support the increasing requirements regarding energy efficiency.
The all-electric drives inside the crane in combination with the supercapacitors makes the rope luffing CBG 500 a unique handling solution that is emission-free and environmentally friendly.
It utilises a lattice boom, making it particularly stiff and light, and offers a lifting capacity of up to 105 tonnes in hook operation and a maximum grab capacity of up to 90 tonnes.
Able to flexibly adapt to its subsequent purpose, the CBG 500 E can be configured with 43 m and 50 m boom.
The longer boom variant offers the advantage of enabling direct transhipment between two vessels in sheltered and open water.
The whole crane structure has been optimised with an extension of the cabin and the high positioning which helps to ensure the crane operator has an optimal viewing angle of all processes.
For installation on a barge, the crane can be equipped with additional counterweights to enable safe cargo handling in this application as well.
Optional configuration options such as a comfort ascent or additional platforms and boom walkways for maintenance purposes complete the configuration possibilities.
