Crane Spotlight
Additionally, an optional auxiliary power unit enables cab, HVAC and lighting systems to operate using a 17kW diesel engine, reducing fuel consumption and emissions during standby operation.
Liebherr, which celebrated the 18th anniversary of their LR 1300 lattice boom crawler in 2025, has unveiled a battery-powered unplugged version of the crane. The LR 1300.2 SX unplugged is powered by a 438-kW electric motor and with a 392-kWh battery, based on the application, can be operated for up to 13 hours without a charging. Depending on available infrastructure on a jobsite, the complete battery-charging process for the machine lasts between 4.5 and 8.5 hours.
