“For a fantastic year like 2014 several factors have to come together. We started with a record order backlog into the year. Throughout the year demand for our state-of-the-art cargo handling solution was very stable on a high level. Moreover, large orders helped to significantly increase the population of Liebherr mobile harbour cranes. Finally, we broke the existing record by nearly 10%, which is amazing considering the economic environment,”said Matthias Mungenast, Sales Director for Liebherr mobile harbour cranes. One
highlight in 2014 was the large order from Algeria, Africa. A purchasing association of Algerian port operators opted for 20 Liebherr mobile harbour cranes. The mobile harbour cranes were delivered to seven destinations at the Algerian coast. The tasks of this impressive and highly efficient mobile harbour crane fleet include the handling of general cargo, dry bulk operation and container handling. Liebherr mobile harbour cranes have a long tradition in Algeria, with the first units delivered almost 20 years ago. Thanks to this major mobile harbour crane order, the total number of LHMs delivered to Algeria nearly doubled and jumped to 43. Photo shows Two LHM 550s assist with the assembly of a new LHM 550
