Electric power drives Liebherr’s latest crane deliveries to Italy By combining electric drive technology with high lifting capacities, advanced operator cabins and agile undercarriage systems, Liebherr equips Italian terminals for faster cycles, quieter operation and locally emission - free lifting where shore power is available.
for heavy-duty shipyard operations, from removing large hatch covers to handling oversized components and tools with precision and speed. The company selected the LHM 420 for its reliability and manoeuvrability in con- fined quay spaces. Interporto Rivers Venezia will also receive an LHM 420, configured with electric drive to support bulk and scrap operations at its multipurpose terminal. This addition complements the terminal’s existing fleet of four Liebherr mobile harbour cranes — an LHM 250, two LHM 320s and an LHM 550 — reinforcing its strategy
Delivering performance for Italy’s diverse port landscape. Liebherr has dispatched four additional mobile harbour cranes to Italy, reaffirming its role in the country’s evolving port infrastructure. The shipment includes two LHM 550 for Bari’s bulk ter- minal, each rated at 154 tonnes with a 54 ‑ metre outreach and equipped with e ‑ drive for locally emission ‑ free oper- ation when connected to shore power. La Nuova Meccanica Navale in Naples will receive an LHM 420 to replace an older LHM 1300. This crane, with a 124‑tonne lifting cap- acity and 48‑metre outreach, is built
to modernise handling capacity while reducing local emissions. Expanding capabilities across Italian ports Bari’s grain gateway relies on dependable high ‑ rate discharge to feed regional milling and pasta production for Divella Pasta, so the terminal’s focus on efficiency is supported by the LHM 550’s performance. Both cranes also feature the latest operator cabin, designed to reduce fatigue and improve situational awareness during long shifts, while LED floodlighting ensures clear visibility for safe, efficient
These four Liebherr mobile harbour cranes will enhance cargo flow across three Italian ports, supporting faster vessel turnaround and greater operational flexibility in sectors ranging from grain logistics to ship repair and multipurpose bulk handling.
