          crane, the new Liebherr 172 EC-B 8 Litronic flat-top. Unveiled
        
        
          for the first time, it has increased lifting capacity at the jib head
        
        
          and is now capable of hoisting 2.1 tonnes at a 60m radius at the
        
        
          jibhead.The172EC-Bhas a capacityof 8 tonnes. It alsohasnew
        
        
          transport designs,meaning the loadhook and trolley can remain
        
        
          on the jobpivot sectionduring transport.

          access elevator.The 200 kg (two people or one plus equipment)
        
        
          capacity LiUP is mounted inside the tower crane mast or, for
        
        
          smaller cranes, on the outside. It allows the operator to ascend
        
        
          and descend tower cranes with current and older mast systems,
        
        
          instead of having to climb ladders to reach the cab. It is a double
