Liebherr has dispatched four mobile harbour cranes to Italy, including two LHM 550 for Bari’s bulk terminal, an LHM 420 to La Nuova Meccanica Navale in Naples and an LHM 420 to Interporto Rivers Venezia.
La Nuova Meccanica Navale’s new LHM 420 will replace an older LHM 1300. This crane, with a 124‑tonne lifting capacity and 48 m outreach, is built for heavy-duty shipyard operations, from removing large hatch covers to handling oversized components.
Interporto Rivers Venezia’s LHM 420, configured with electric drive to support bulk and scrap operations at its multipurpose terminal, will complement the terminal’s existing fleet of four Liebherr mobile harbour cranes – an LHM 250, two LHM 320s and an LHM 550.
The LHM 550 units destined for Bari’s bulk terminal are rated at 154 tonnes with a 54 m-long outreach. They are equipped with e‑drive for locally emission‑free operation when connected to shore power.
“Italian ports present a unique mix of requirements, from precision lifting in shipyards to high-volume bulk discharge,” said Andreas Ritschel, general manager sales mobile harbour cranes at Liebherr-Rostock. “By pairing electric drive options with proven reliability, we are delivering performance that meets operational targets and reduces local emissions where shore power is in place.”
In August 2025, HLPFI reported that Liebherr had delivered a new LHM 550 mobile harbour crane to BLG Logistics at the Bremerhaven car terminal in Germany.
