This Liebherr HS 885 HD of Zwagerman VMT from Nederhorst den Berg (NL) was used as a dragline.
The crane was hired by Roy Boerties on a gravel mining in Limburg (NL).
It is a 120 tonne heavy duty crane.
This crane has extended tracks.
The boom is 26 meters long.
The bucket can be trown away up to the radius + 1/3th.
The excavated gravel (in the sand) is trown down at the right of the crane.
The undercarriage is 4.8 meters wide.
A detail of the original Liebherr fairlead.
I think the tracks are extended one meter.
Soon... more and better action pics!
The 19.6 tonne counterweight can be extended with an extra 4.5 tonne piece.
Here some more action photos of the nice Liebherr HS 855 HS during a second visit.
