Operating comfort
and safety
Upon entering the operator’s cab it is apparent that everything has been
done to facilitate the handling of the machine for the operator. This can be
contributed to the spacious design of the cabin, the adjustable seat, air
conditioning, bright interior and exterior illumination as well as numerous
other details.
An unobstructed view is an elementary prerequisite for precise and safe op-
eration; therefore, the all-round glazing in the cab ensures excellent visibility
of the entire working area. The view upward, which is of special importance,
is facilitated through the standard cabin tilting system, which is continu-
ously variable up to 20 degrees.
All operating elements are clearly and ergonomically arranged and all crane
movements are precisely controlled by two joysticks and two foot pedals.
As an option, double-T-levers are available for the right-hand side, which al-
low the main boom and the luffing jib to be operated simultaneously.
For Liebherr, safety is of utmost importance. The new safety rail, which al-
lows access along the whole boom on a safety rope without interruption
at the boom joints, is mounted on both sides along an antislip catwalk. All
crane types are available with railings on the uppercarriage, with catwalks
and safety rails for the fall arresting device.
