Specialists from Liebherr and DEME Group have completed the installation of the impressive HLC 295000 main crane boom, measuring more than 145m, on board of DEME’s giant next generation offshore installation vessel (OIV) ‘Orion’. Liebherr’s TCC 78000 crane was used for this operation.

With a lifting capacity of 5,000 tonnes at more than 35 m outreach, the HLC 295000 main crane could lift nine fully loaded Airbus A380 aircrafts in one go! Loads can also be lifted to an unrivalled height of 180 m.
