The Liebherr LR1160 has a maximum lifting capacity of 160 tonnes, a maximum hoist height of 136 m and a maximum working radius of 84 m. It uses the same load charts as the diesel LR 1160.1, so there is no lifting compromise in going electric.

Yes. Empire Cranes offers the Liebherr LR1160 160T electric crawler crane for dry hire Australia wide. You supply the operator; we deliver a fully maintained, compliant machine with transport and technical support.

The LR1160 provides up to 8 hours of operation on battery, depending on the duty cycle. It recharges in around 4.5 hours and can also run continuously while plugged into a conventional mains supply.

The LR1160 suits construction, infrastructure, wind-energy, civil and industrial lifts, and is ideal for enclosed, indoor, tunnel, rail and urban sites, or any project with emissions and noise limits, thanks to its zero on-site emissions.

No. The LR1160 delivers identical lifting performance to the diesel version. Whether running on battery or plugged in, its capacity, load charts and reach are unchanged — with zero emissions and lower noise.

The LR1160 has a transport width of up to 3 m when disassembled, allowing standard low-loader transport. Its self-assembly and self-loading system lets it be unloaded and rigged without an auxiliary crane.
