BKV buys the Liebherr LR 1700-1.0

We have some great news! For us, the year starts with an expansion of our crane park! We are very proud to announce that we are getting a new Liebherr LR1700-1.0 delivered at februari, but also at the beginning of 2023!

Wind turbines sizes are increasing and the end is nowhere near in sight yet. A few years ago, the altitude was still around 130 meters. Now it is already 155 meters and there are plans to build wind turbines with heights up to 165 meters on land. And developments are already underway to create 185-meter-high turbines. Ever larger wind turbines also mean increasingly larger cranes to be able to build those turbines.

BKV: LR 1700-1.0

Because with the new LR 1700-1.0 crawler crane they combine the best of two worlds, the efficient transport of a 600 ton crawler crane and the performance of a crane in the 750 ton class. That is why the LR 1700-1.0 was designed based on the dimensions of the LR 1600/2, but with 15% more lifting capacity. By the way, various components of the LR 1600/2 can be found in the LR 1700-1.0. Our LR 1700-1.0 will be equipped with a modern derrick system, V-frame and VarioTray. The Liebherr LR 1700-1.0 has a lifting capacity of 700 tons. Maximum lifting height of 185 m and a reach of 160 m.

We expect a lot of pleasure from our new crane in the coming years! We are pleased that these cranes are being added again in our blue-yellow company colors! BKV is ready for the future!
