After serving for more than 20 years (40k+ operating hours), the company has replaced the LHM 320 model with a new LHM 420.

Rhenus Midgard Hamburg will use the machinery (48 m-reach and 124t of maximum lifting capacity) across the Port of Hamburg-located Dradenau Terminal for handling break-bulk and containers.

The LHM 420 mobile harbour crane was shipped fully assembled and ready to work from Liebherr's manufacturing plant in the Port of Rostock onboard the open deck carrier Aura.

"With the new mobile harbour crane, we will see further increases in handling volumes and, also in combination with the 'Greenliner' concept that has been successfully established for more than ten years now - moving goods from the road to the water - we will make an even greater contribution in Hamburg to reducing emissions and relieving the pressure on roads," Helge Behrend, Rhenus Midgard Hamburg's Managing Director, commented.
