The port of Livorno has a new mobile crane, with a lifting capacity of 140 tonnes and a 51 meter maximum operating radius.
This 2 million Euro Liebherr LHM 500 can handle general cargoes, containers, bulk materials and the occasional heavy lift.
With its forty-wheel undercarriage the crane can travel in every direction, even sideways or diagonally.

What an amazing crane. I've been looking at one of ours recently. It looks like a very small dinosaur next to this one.
that is quite a crane. Let's see it picking something up. I see them down at the waterfront but have never seen them doing anything. But I know I am not there during work time---but still!
I believe you too. LOL MB
Pretty cool!
The capabilities of these things are amazing. And I think it takes a lot of skill to be able to operate one properly.
I'll bet you had to crane your neck to get these photos.
It seems like our port is always updating their cranes. They seem to handle more weight, faster than their predecessor.
A new super-crane for you, how exciting!
40 wheels, wow!
I remember my amazement when they first brought our mobile Liebherr to Jerusalem to build the Calatrava bridge.
Cranes are great.
I'm amazed by those tonnes and metres.
That's a hell of a crane (I mean, in a positive way), it seems to be able to handle just about anything! Great shots!
God bless you!

I've always wanted to get a license to manuver cranes! This one is massive!
Cool. Love photo number 3.
For 2 million € it has to travel everywhere! :-)
Great photos. It looks so new and pristine - give it a couple of years.
E' made in Germany?
Vero gioiello della tcnologia!
Soldi veramente spesi bene.
