 CBW Series
Multipurpose and container handling vessels require
space-saving and reliable cranes. Liebherr’s cylinder luffing
CBW cranes are the successful combination of economic and
performance-orientated criteria. The product range covers
lifting capacities of up to 120 t SWL and outreaches of more
than 40 m.

Due to the compact design and low height of the crane,

a minimum of container space is lost for positioning the
crane whereby optimal view of the deck is ensured. The CBW
crane is very easy to maintain thanks to the hydraulic and
electronic components used. Furthermore, the crane operates
without direct influence on the on-board electronics therefore
producing no reverse current whatsoever.

CBW Ship Cranes

• Container / multipurpose
• SWL up to 120 t
• Outreach up to 43 m

Features and benefits

• Low construction height
• Compact design
• High level of operational safety
• Easy maintenance
• No reverse power

 CBB Series
The CBB series distinguishes itself through its advanced
wire-luffing reeving concept. CBB cranes are suitable for all
ship crane segments, ranging from simple container and
multipurpose vessels up to highly specialized heavy lift
carriers.

CBB Ship Cranes

• Container / multipurpose
• SWL up to 85 t
• Outreach up to 36 m


Features and benefits
• Totally closed crane column
• All components well-protected against harsh environments
• High level of precision for quick and easy positioning
• Reduced maintenance costs through advanced reeving concept
• No reverse power

 CBB - Heavy Lift Series

Based on the CBB series Liebherr has designed a high

performance heavy lift crane. With capacities ranging from
120 t to 450 t, CBB cranes cover the main area of the heavy
lift segment. Above that range the delivery program includes
new developments with lifting capacities up to 1250 t SWL.
One of the main advantages of CBB cranes is their low self-
weight. This has a positive effect on the stability of the vessel
as well as cargo handling – simultaneously increasing safety
and performance.

CBB Heavy Lift Cranes

• Heavy lift
• SWL up to 1250 t
• Outreach up to 42 m

F eatures and benefits

• Low self-weight and lower CoG (Centre of Gravity) for higher
ship stability
• Advanced reeving concept
• No hydraulic components outside crane column
• Litronic® installed in all heavy lift cranes as a standard

 Special Cranes
Liebherr CCB
The C-design developed by Liebherr offers a lower weight
than the usual gantry solution. Additionally, the CCB install-
ation is more compact than the equivalent U-shape
solution. Therefore, the C-design is capable of handling 50
containers per hour. Two parallel independent hydraulic power
packs for hoisting, trolley travelling and gantry travelling systems
optimize the power consumption and offer maximum
operational safety.

Features and benefits

• Container / multipurpose
• SWL up to 40 t
• Up to 50 containers / hour

 Custom-made Applications

Dredger Cranes
Liebherr also has sound knowledge of custom-made cranes for cutting dredgers. The operational area of the crane stretches
over the whole length of the vessel thanks to a travelling gantry. The arc jib allows an extended working area down to the deck
making the crane also suitable for internal refitting on board the vessel. The extremely short crane rope minimizes swing so
increasing safety as well as reducing wear and tear of the equipment.

 Arctic Temperature Packages
Remote working and living environments in cold and polar regions present a tough challenge for man and machine.
Environmental ambient temperatures of down to -50° C demand a special stability from components and their materials. In
order to guarantee smooth operation Liebherr supplies the ideal solution for extreme climatic conditions with special Arctic
Temperature Packages.
