Flexible military cranes – in use all over the world
Liebherr uses all its vast experience for designing special cranes for military purposes. Our military cranes are in demand with the army, air force and navy; they have proven themselves all over the world with repair, resupply and engineering units.
Bespoke mobile cranes for military use
Liebherr has manufactured more then 800 military cranes with lifting capacities from 10 to 500 tonnes since 1977. The product range extends from standard cranes with additional options to specially developed vehicles for military purposes.
Mobile cranes from Liebherr are suitable for both on-road and off-road use. They feature great economy and are very flexible in use. To satisfy special technical requirements and special solutions, Liebherr uses time-tested components which have been used many times on standard cranes.
Special technical equipment for military cranes
The equipment versions for military cranes may include the following, depending on requirements:
- Rescue winches
- Towing hitches
- Tyres with emergency features
- Emergency hydraulic controls
- Various load handling equipment
- Special containers for transporting special accessories
Reference projects: Military cranes from Liebherr
Economy through flexibility
The G-BKF from Liebherr is an armoured rescue crane on a four-axle mobile crane chassis. It has excellent off-road capability and great manoeuvrability. The G-BKF is flexible and economical to run since it is equipped both for hoisting loads and for rescuing vehicles.
Its 20.9-metre telescopic boom enables the G-BKF to handle loads of up to 20 tonnes quickly and precisely. Fitted with two rescue winches and a towing hitch at the rear, it can be used to rescue and tow a wide range of different vehicles.
Great mobility
The all-terrain chassis on the G-BKF features the very latest chassis and powertrain technology to provide excellent handling even on difficult terrain.
Spacious storage lockers
The G-BKF is equipped with a wide range of functional accessories and provides lots of space in systematically arranged storage lockers.
Powerful telescopic boom
The G-BKF armoured rescue crane has a 20.9 metre telescopic boom which enables it to hoist loads of up to 20 tonnes quickly and precisely.
Great flexibility
The G-BKF has tow rescue winches fitted on the rear and also features an underlift with lift cradle. An extensive range of accessories enables it to rescue and tow a very wide range of civilian and military vehicles.
Flexible rescue winches with great winching force
The vehicle can winch in objects synchronously with the winch cable over the retracted telescopic boom and the cable on the 200 kN rescue winch. This means that an object can be raised slightly and pulled at the same time by the towing equipment.
The G-LTM 1090-4.2 from Liebherr is an armoured mobile crane on a four-axle all-terrain chassis. It has excellent off-road capability and great manoeuvrability. The G-LTM 1090-4.2 is a flexible mobile crane with a powerful 35.7-metre telescopic boom. It can handle loads up to 36.6 tonnes quickly and precisely.
The all-terrain chassis of the G-LTM 1090-4.2 features the very latest chassis and powertrain technology to provide excellent handling even on difficult terrain. A six-cylinder Liebherr diesel engine in the undercarriage, which develops 330 kW and torque of 2,335 Nm, provides the LTM 1090-4.2 with all the power it needs.
For passenger protection the G-LTM 1090-4.2 is equipped with an armoured driver's cabin as well as and armoured crane cabin.

Standard crane with practical benefits
The LTM 1055/1 AF is fitted with a wide range of standard accessories for military use. These are transported in special containers whose dimensions are precisely tailored to the transport vehicles.
In 2002 Liebherr managed to win a major order for the French Army. The order was for a total of 50 LTM 1055/1 AF cranes. The positive features of this standard crane include the following:
- High lifting capacities
- Compact dimensions
- Sensitive manoeuvring in very constricted spaces
- Very good off-road capability
- Driving speeds up to 80 km/h
Extensive range of comfort and safety equipment and a practical transport concept for crane accessories round off the crane's features.
Smart transport solution for bridge elements
The side sliding struts are partially extended and fitted with support brackets for transporting bridge supports. This means that each LTM 1055-3.2 can be loaded with one 2.5-tonne bridge support on each side. In addition there is also space for a connection yoke on the supports.
In 2014 four identical LTM 1055-3.2 mobile cranes were delivered to the Armasuisse, the procurement department of the Swiss Army. One of the jobs for the all-terrain cranes is for building pontoons. To satisfy this requirement, Liebherr designed and produced special accessories for transporting steel bridge supports.
On each trip each military crane can transport two steel supports and a connection yoke on to the bridge under construction. The elements are then placed on the bridge piles which have previously been rammed into the river bed. A wheel loader then surfaces the road. In the meantime the crane is on land picking up the load for the next assembly job.

The Root Cause of U.S. Debt
LearnLiberty.org People say the government has a debt problem. Debt is caused by deficits, which is the difference between what the government collects in tax revenue and the amount of government spending. Every time the government runs a deficit, the government debt increases. So what's to blame: too much spending, or too little tax revenue? Economics professor Antony Davies examines the data and presents his conclusion. Spoiler Alert: the root cause of the debt is too much government spending. (Back to Video)

Lemon aid: Can Toyota stop the bucking?
Ads for Brown Toyota end with a woman crooning, "You'll love the service." Henry Pritchard begs to disagree.
Pritchard's parents, Henry Sr. and Viola, bought a 2003 Toyota Camry from Brown at the end of January. We'll consider Henry Jr. this week's consumer, however, because he was actively involved in the purchase, contributed a quarter of the $23,000 purchase price, and, when problems developed, took on the job of dealing with Brown.
Pritchard chose Brown, in part, because he'd been quite satisfied with a Toyota truck he bought there several years ago. His parents, in turn, were pleased with the Camry they'd been driving since they bought it in 1994 in Massachusetts– so getting another Camry, this time at Brown, seemed like a good plan.
Because Brown didn't have the exact car they wanted, an "aspen green pearl" LE V6 automatic, it had to be driven down from a dealer in Pennsylvania.
In a letter of complaint Pritchard later wrote to the Virginia Motor Vehicle Dealer Board (VMVDB), he claims that the saleswoman, Michele Le Picq, assured him that "the new vehicle we were purchasing would be flawless... We were promised that Brown Toyota would, unconditionally, stand behind the vehicle."
In February, the Pritchards noticed what they describe as a "'bucking' sensation" when the car is being driven at 38-40 mph, the RPMs are approximately 1200, and the vehicle "attempts to shift from overdrive into lower gear." When they attended a reception for new car owners the following month, Pritchard notified Brown of the problem and made an appointment to bring the car in on March 14.
At that time, after searching through Camry Technical Service Bulletins and finding one that seemed to describe similar symptoms, the service department sent master technician Peter Hemmingway on a test drive. Hemmingway reprogrammed the Camry's computer as directed in the service bulletin, but the Pritchards claim that the problem was not solved.
After that, relations between Brown and the Pritchards began to deteriorate.
For Pritchard's blow-by-blow account, with links to relevant documents and websites, you can read his weblog at users.firstva.com/heppnet/2003Camry (but bear in mind that this is Pritchard's version of events).
Pritchard's log includes a link to the website for the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), where several complaints are posted that describe a similar problem with the 2002 Camry. In these cases, however, the symptoms are more extreme: The various writers describe "a forward and backward rocking motion," abrupt jerks, and "a loud clunking noise." Two of the posters claim Toyota told them the phenomenon was "characteristic" of the model.
On March 25, according to Pritchard, service department manager Tim Riley suggested that they "take the vehicle out of overdrive when we anticipate driving at the affected speed"; one of the posters on the NHTSA site alleges that the same suggestion was made to him. Both owners consider this a less than satisfactory solution.
Pritchard took me for a drive so that I could experience the car for myself. As a passenger, I felt the "bucking" was subtle; both Pritchard and his mother, who accompanied us, maintain that it's more pronounced for the driver– who's not only feeling the "stutter" through the car seat, but also in the steering wheel.
Pritchard has now filed for arbitration under the Virginia Lemon Law. Before taking that step, he claims that he spoke with three Brown employees, called and emailed Toyota's National Customer Assistance Center, and called and wrote the NHTSA and the VMVDB.
I spoke with Jay Malone, Brown Toyota sales director, who said, "I'd like to think we followed the [appropriate] process to the letter," and added, "Our hands are tied." He went on to explain that the arbitration is between Toyota Corporate and the Pritchards; the dealer only gets involved "voluntarily" and is not considered a party in the arbitration.
"No matter what happens," Malone asserts, "we're still going to help [the Pritchards] through this process."
The next step, an oral hearing with the National Center for Dispute Settlement, will take place within 30 days; I'll report on the process as it unfolds.

When you first get a chance to take a look at the online gaming site RoBlox, it's easy to write the platform off as one of the quickie, watered-down casual game sites that you see on sale in the checkout aisle in WalMart. For savvy gamers, it certainly doesn't have the amazing curb appeal that we're used to when compared to the most popular titles on the market. The site looks somewhat childish, but there is a very good reason for that as most of the games created using RoBlox were created by young people.
Underneath the MMO gaming exterior, RoBlox is actually a deep game development platform that is geared towards teaching people what it takes to plan and create a successful title.
Launched back in 2005 by co-founders David Baszucki and Erik Cassel, RoBlox was created to be a family-friendly game building platform that would allow anyone to come and create and share their gaming visions. By providing its users with a rich, easy to understand developing language called Lua, the people behind RoBlox have created a community of future developers that are cutting their teeth on a possible future in the game development industry. Of the almost 3 million active developers and gamers that are signed up for the site, with the majority of them are aged between 12 and 18 years old. Considering that some of the games listed on the site have over 10 million plays, their progress has been amazing.
While the games on the site aren't incredible feats of visual design, I can attest to the fact that there are indeed some very enjoyable titles on RoBlox. I took part in a paintball capture-the-flag marathon, as well as a zombie survival game and found myself having a tremendous amount of fun playing. In both titles, I noticed items like the ones pictured above, and on further inspection I found that the different weapons and in-game items had been developed by other individuals then incorporated into the games I was playing.
What makes this interesting is the micro-transaction economy that exists in RoBlox, where the would-be developer can "outsource" a part of their game to others that may specialize in. For this service, a currency called RoBux is transferred in varying amounts, depending on the amount of work needing to be done. This mechanic teaches RoBlox developers about the cost in both time and "money" that it takes to create a successful title.
One thing that I find refreshing is that the RoBlox corporation is dedicated to creating a family-friendly and kid-safe environment for its users. Over half of the 100-person staff is dedicated to monitoring the different games on the site and moderating any kind of issues that arise. Even the ads that appear on the site are screened for appropriateness for children, which makes RoBlox a trustworthy place for your child to go and have fun while learning simple game development at the same time.
While we won't be seeing a Skyrim or Diablo 3 for play on the RoBlox site, it's possible that we will see some of the users of the platform making a game of that caliber in the future.
