How tall is Liebherr LR 13000?

A little more perspective

Liebherr lists a maximum hoist height of 236 meters with a 120-meter main boom and a 126-meter luffing jib. This entry measures the ground-to-hook capability in that tall configuration. The boom head extends above the selected endpoint, so 236 meters is not labeled as the crane’s overall structural height.

The manufacturer's SDWB diagram shows the luffing jib attached above the main boom, with a shorter rear derrick and suspended ballast. Adding the two boom lengths gives a system length, not a vertical height, because the sections are inclined and the hook hangs below the head. The illustration keeps the ground and hook anchors separate from the complete outline.

Original technical illustration of the manufacturer’s SDWB boom system. The construction preserves the published 120-meter main-boom and 126-meter luffing-jib centerline lengths and 19.83-meter crawler-track length. Only the 236-meter maximum ground-to-hook height is the catalog measurement. The diagram-informed boom angles, structural widths, rear rigging, mechanical details and color coding are illustrative. This is not manufacturer engineering CAD or a photograph.
