Precision control and unobstructed docks: the evolution of lifting with the Liebherr 630 EC-H 40

Modern shipbuilding requires the handling of large components in environments where every meter of dock space is vital. The challenge of modern shipbuilding isn?t just about lifting capacity, but the ability to operate with such precision that the integrity of surfaces and pre-assembled modules is preserved. In these cases, efficiency stems from logistics that don?t clutter the deck but raise safety standards.

Niederstätter responds with a cutting-edge solution: the Liebherr 630 EC-H 40. This is not simply the most powerful crane in our fleet, but a system designed to optimize operational coordination between land and sea. Thanks to superior technology, this machine ensures vibration-free, precise, and safe movement, bringing millimeter-level precision to every maneuver, even during the most delicate stages of construction.

A Reliable Partner for the Maritime Industry

Niederstätter is entering the marine sector, bringing with it the experience of a long-established family-owned business that, over the years, has become a leading player in Northern Italy and a strategic partner nationwide for the provision of lifting solutions and advanced logistics.

We are not just machine suppliers, but a team that combines strategic consulting, logistics, and top-notch training through our Campus. Our philosophy is based on absolute clarity and technical support that ensures our machines are always ready for use, allowing construction sites to focus exclusively on building.

What makes this machine an unbeatable asset for the boating industry

To meet the needs of shipyards that handle large volumes in often confined spaces, we have added a brand-new addition to our rental fleet: the Liebherr 630 EC-H 40, the largest crane in our fleet.

  • Extraordinary capacity: A maximum load capacity of 40 metric tons to handle even the heaviest components with ease.
  • Reach and Control: A tip load of up to 5.8 metric tons at 80 meters, ideal for covering the entire length of large ships under construction.
  • Micromoves & Smoothness: Thanks to the micro-positioning system, every movement is smooth and precise to the millimeter, protecting painted surfaces and the most sensitive components.
  • Efficiency and Sustainability: State-of-the-art electric motors for maximum energy efficiency and quiet operation.
  • Withstanding the Wind: Designed to operate safely in winds of up to 72 km/h, ensuring uninterrupted production even in variable marine environments.

Creating value means never being alone

At Niederstätter, creating and communicating value means ensuring that the expertise of our entire team is behind every single lifting operation. We know that the machine, no matter how powerful, is only one part of the equation for success.

True added value comes from ongoing collaboration: from the preliminary logistics study to preventive maintenance carried out by our expert technicians. Choosing the Liebherr 630 EC-H 40 through our rental service means opting for an approach where quality always trumps quantity, with the assurance of expert advice that listens to and addresses the specific needs of your construction site.

Take Your Construction Site to the Next Level: The Art of Thinking Differently

The shipbuilding industry often relies on self-propelled cranes or lattice-boom cranes that take up a large portion of the docks, cluttering up vital space onshore. For us, thinking differently means proposing a paradigm shift: looking up and freeing up the dock. Using a top-slewing tower crane means optimizing logistics flows, viewing the shipyard from a new perspective to overcome current construction limitations.

This ?spark? of innovation also stems from our deep connection to the world of art. We see every hull as a complex work of art, and just as we do when engaging with artists, we bring a unique sensibility to the process?one that understands we?re not just lifting tons of steel, but participating in the creation of a one-of-a-kind piece. We?re ready to accompany you on this journey with the enthusiasm of those who believe 100% in the solutions we offer.

The value of a project is measured by the strength of the partners behind it. If you?d like to learn more about the technical capabilities of the 630 EC-H 40 or discuss how to optimize the logistics of your next shipbuilding project, we?re here to help.
