Liebherr Tower Crane Brings a New Approach to Shipyard Lifting

Niederstatter is positioning the Liebherr 630 EC-H 40 as a lifting solution that combines controlled component handling with more usable shipyard quay space.

Niederstatter is bringing a tower-crane approach to marine construction, presenting the Liebherr 630 EC-H 40 as an alternative for shipyards where lifting operations compete with other work along the quay.

Lifting Capacity Meets Dockside Planning

In a sponsored BoatIndustry feature, the supplier describes a maximum lifting capacity of 40 tonnes and a tip load of up to 5.8 tonnes at an 80-metre reach. These figures represent different points on the operating envelope, rather than a constant capacity across the jib.

The proposition centres on handling large components while limiting the amount of working space occupied by mobile lifting equipment.

Control Through the Construction Process

Niederstatter highlights fine positioning, electric drives and technical support, including logistics planning, training and preventive maintenance. The stated precision and operational benefits are supplier claims, not independent performance measurements.

For yacht construction, the emphasis is on moving equipment into position while preserving access for teams working on the vessel.
