KG LIEBHERR-WERK EHINGEN, GERMANY With its new coating facility, Liebherr is setting new standards in industrial vehicle construction. In the future, freely suspended parts of mobile and crawler cranes that weigh up to 50 t will be coated at the Ehingen factory. Stationary friction wheels are the special feature of the double-track overhead facility. They replace the expensive former drives on the individual transport units. Another advantage of this new solution is possible gap bridging, irrespective of the size of the loads. 1 Two 15 m high loading and unloading cranes and a distribution manipulator pick up parts weighing several tons and distribute them between indivi- dual stations 1 REFERENCE PROJECT
