Liebherr LR1250 – 250T Electric Crawler Crane For Hire
250T Electric Crawler Crane For Dry Hire

Lifting Capacity
Quick Contact
The Liebherr LR1250 is a 250-tonne battery-electric crawler crane (LR 1250.1 unplugged) available for dry hire Australia wide through Empire Cranes. It brings zero-emission heavy lifting to major projects, with performance in plugged-in operation identical to the diesel LR 1250.1.
The LR1250 runs for up to 8 hours in unplugged operation depending on the task; its batteries can also erect the main boom with luffing jib and travel around 650 m, or the crane can run plugged into mains. Particulate emissions are eliminated and noise is kept to a minimum.
With a reinforced main boom, intelligent crane control and a jack-up self-assembly system, the LR1250 is built for demanding structural, infrastructure and wind-energy lifts — the higher-capacity option alongside the 160T LR1160 for larger loads and longer radii on emission-sensitive sites.
