The TCC 14000-400 D Litronic can be fixed on a floating installation or barge and used as an offshore crane. The machine has been designed to meet all the necessary functions and safety requirements to be rated as an offshore crane according to the norm EN 13852-2. As an offshore crane it can lift up to 400t at an outreach of 21m; at an outreach of 70m the crane can hoist 91t.
The TCC 14000-400 D has a maximum under hook height of 68m and can also operate onshore as a mobile harbour crane with high lifting capacities. For the undercarriage the drive technology of a Liebherr mobile harbour crane was combined with a newly designed steel fabrication. This consists of a central X-shaped structure on which four outriggers are mounted.
For travelling operation the base structure is fitted with 48 wheel sets as known from the conventional Liebherr mobile harbour crane. During crane operation the crane is propped up on support units situated at the end of the outriggers. The manufacturer said that it believed that using a large number of wheel sets and accordingly large supporting pads the crane achieves equally low ground pressure values as a standard mobile harbour crane, not only while travelling but also during crane operation.
The first jobs for the crane will be in the construction of oil platforms.
