A major milestone was reached in European port logistics on 8 July, as Liebherr officially handed over its 2,000th mobile harbour crane, to steel industry leader Marcegaglia at the Port of Ravenna. The new crane, now the largest in Marcegaglia’s local fleet, will be used primarily for handling steel coils, billets, and plates.
The handover ceremony was attended by senior leadership from both companies, including Antonio Marcegaglia, President and CEO of Marcegaglia, and Patricia Rüf, Member of the Administrative Board at Liebherr-International AG, underscoring the importance of the occasion.
With a lifting capacity of 154 tonnes and an outreach of 61 metres, the LHM 600 is built to deliver both power and precision. It features a modern ergonomic cabin, digital interface, and advanced safety systems, including standby-enabled fire protection, making it well-suited for the demanding conditions of a high-traffic port environment.
