Russian energy company Titan-2 has added a 3000t Liebherr LR 13000 crawler to its fleet.

This model is one of the largest conventional crawler cranes in the world, and this is the fourth unit to be delivered.

Titan-2 gave three reasons for investing in this crane. Firstly, the LR 13000 delivers enormous mobile lifting capacities combined with compact dimensions. It is the only crawler crane in this size class that can operate without derrick ballast, which is a major benefit when space is at a premium. This is made possible by a slewing ring that Liebherr developed and also manufactures in-house, and which features an extremely high lifting capacity.

The great reliability of Liebherr machines was another major positive for the Russian company. And finally, the extremely good, close relationship between Titan-2, the Russian Liebherr subsidiary, Liebherr-Russland OOO, and the manufacturing plant in Ehingen played a major role in the decision.

Titan-2 celebrated its 25th anniversary in March 2020. The group employs more than 10,000 people and is active in a wide range of sectors. These include the construction of nuclear power plants and combined heat and power plants, as well as oil, gas and chemical plants. Over the next ten years, the LR 13000 will be involved in the construction of a nuclear power plant in the south of Turkey.
