Heavy Lift Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH, Germany The MTC 78000 is one of the largest offshore slewing cranes world-wide. With a maximum dynamic torque of 78,000 mT, the MTC 78000 is the most powerful machine within the extensive range of cranes and material handling equipment offered by the Liebherr group of companies. The onsite erection and assembly of this enormous crane on the heavy load vessel OSA Goliath presented Liebherr engineers with special challenges - for example, the planning of the indivi- dual hoists so that the maximum permitted ground pressure of Two LHM 600 mobile harbour cranes were used in tandem oper- ation for the heavy duty lifts. Sycratronic® allows two LHM 600s to lift up to 416 t and to be operated simultaneously by one crane driver. Conventional, manually-operated tandem lifts with land-based cranes need to comply with international standards, resulting in load capacity down rating of 25% and more. The assembly of the MTC 78000 required several spectacular heavy duty lifts. First, the slewing platform, weighing 370 t, was mounted, thereafter, the machinery compartment with the drive components (approximately 2401), the mast lower section (about 250 t) and the mast upper section (around 160 t). The hoisting height of 43 m above pier level was made possible by equipping the mobile harbour cranes with two corresponding tower exten- Scope of supply includes Capesize / Super Post-Panamax Liebherr-Werk Nenzing GmbH
