Buying used Liebherr cranes
Capacity is never determined by one maximum number. Confirm the exact load chart, carrier and upper configuration, inspection history, wire rope, hook blocks, counterweight and jurisdictional requirements with qualified professionals.
| Specification | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Rated capacity by chart | Must be read with the applicable configuration, stability limits and duty. |
| Main boom and jib | Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone. |
| Counterweight | Defines machine class, transport exposure and stability context. |
| Hook blocks | Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone. |
| Carrier hours and mileage | Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone. |
| Outrigger configuration | Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone. |
| Inspection documentation | Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone. |
Inspection focus
- Engage a qualified crane inspector
- Match load charts to the serial-specific configuration
- Review structural, rope, hydraulic and safety-system records
