Description

Liebherr LR 1600-2 Crawler Crane Operating Instructions Manual

This is the complete operating instructions manual for the Liebherr LR 1600-2 and LR 1600-2-W crawler cranes, published under document number 18112-01-02. At 2038 pages, it is the full factory-issued reference covering every stage of the crane’s working life – from initial planning and assembly through daily operation, boom configuration, maintenance, and recurring inspections.

The Liebherr LR 1600-2 is a heavy-lift crawler crane built for large-scale lifting operations, and this manual reflects that scale. It documents the crane’s crawler travel gear, turntable, boom systems, derrick ballast arrangements, ballast trailer, and the LICCON computer system that monitors and controls the machine. Every chapter is structured the way Liebherr-Werk Ehingen issued it, so the procedures, danger notes, and load-chart references match the crane as built.

• 90 Attachment – foreword to attachment, update confirmation

What this gives a technician is the complete authorized procedure set for the LR 1600-2. The safety chapter alone runs to dozens of sub-sections covering danger zones, wind limits, hand signals, working near transmitters, and low-temperature operation. The crane assembly chapter documents how the crawler carriers, turntable, central ballast, and SA-frame go together. The equipment chapter covers every boom system the crane can be configured with – S, SL, HS, HSL, SW, SDW, SDWV, SLF, SWF, SD, SLD, HSD, HSLD, and the WV-lattice jib – along with their assembly, guy rod, and electrical connection procedures. The maintenance chapters give inspection intervals and service guidelines for the crawler chassis, crane superstructure, and boom, and the inspection chapter documents what an authorized inspector must check on wire ropes, load hooks, guy rods, ladders, and hydraulic hose lines.

Safety Systems and LICCON Coverage

A substantial portion of the manual is devoted to the safety systems and the LICCON computer system. The overload protection (LMB), hoist limit switches (HES1, HES2, HES3), boom limitation, advance warning, and STOP functions are documented in detail, including the exact procedures for resuming crane movements after a shut off. The manual explains how to bypass the hoist top shut off, how to exceed shut off limits of the LICCON overload protection during erection and take down, and how the emergency operation of the LICCON overload protection works on cranes with and without a CE mark.

Winch assignments, pulley head selection, hook block weight entry, derrick ballast radius and weight entry, and the various operating screens are all documented. The manual also covers the LICCON Job Planner references where they appear in the crane’s own operating logic.

Boom Systems and Ballast

The boom system chapter is one of the largest in the manual. It documents the S main boom, SL main boom with light lattice sections, HS heavy main boom, HSL heavy main boom with light lattice sections, W luffing jib, F fixed jib, D derrick boom, and the various combinations – SDBW/B, SLDB/BW, SL2DBW/B, SDWBW/B, SDWVB/BW, SL2DFB/BW, SL4DFB/BW, SL5DFBW/B, SL10DFB/B2, SL11DB/B2, SL13DFB/B2, SL14DB/B2, HSDBW/B, HSLDB/BW, HSL2DBW/B, HSDWBW/B, HSDWVB/BW, HSL2DFB/BW, HSL4DFB/BW. Each combination is documented with its assembly, pinning, guy rod, and erection procedures.

Derrick ballast is covered in two full chapters – one for the suspended ballast configuration and one for the ballast trailer. The manual documents the ballast pallet, suspended ballast guide, ballast trailer guide, pull cylinders, support cylinders, and the LICCON displays for derrick ballast radius, weight, and utilization. The differential force monitoring for derrick ballast guying is also documented.

Inspection and Maintenance Reference

The maintenance and inspection chapters give this manual long-term value beyond initial assembly. The maintenance intervals for the crawler chassis, ballast trailer, crane superstructure, and crane boom are laid out in schedules that combine operating-hour and calendar intervals. The inspection chapter documents the periodic crane inspection requirements, including what an expert or authorized inspector must check on carrying crane structures, rope feed mechanisms, locking systems, safety ropes, load handling equipment, fastening equipment, membrane accumulators, relapse cylinders, rope pulleys, carrier rollers, sliding beams, overload protection, roller slewing ring connections, and load bearing equipment mountings.

The crane wire rope inspection chapter is particularly detailed, covering removal criteria, broken wire counting, diameter reduction, corrosion, corkscrew-like distortion, basket formation, loop formation, kinking, buckles, heat effects, and combined degree of severity – all according to the standards the manual references.

What This Manual Enables You to Do

With the Liebherr LR 1600-2 operating instructions manual on hand, you can carry out the full range of tasks the crane was designed for: assemble and disassemble the crawler carriers, turntable, central ballast, and boom systems; configure the crane for S, SL, HS, HSL, SW, SDW, SDWV, SLF, SWF, SD, SLD, HSD, and HSLD operation; set up derrick ballast as suspended ballast or ballast trailer; operate the crane from the crane operator’s cab using the LICCON computer system; carry out load lifts with the correct load chart, reeving, and counterweight; and perform the maintenance and inspection routines that keep the crane safe and available.

Correct procedures and specifications matter on a crane of this size. The manual gives you the actual danger notes, the actual load chart references, the actual LICCON screen logic, and the actual inspection criteria that Liebherr-Werk Ehingen issued for this machine. Working from the manual rather than from memory or guesswork is what keeps the crane, the load, and the crew safe.
