Frankfurt: LED cube perfectly positioned
Precision handling was paramount when a Liebherr MK 110 was deployed at Germany’s largest temporary open-air theatre. It was at the Sommerbau theatre on the city border of Offenbach and Frankfurt where the five-axle mobile construction crane, belonging to the Eisele AG Crane & Engineering Group, provided support for the production of “Dionysus City”.
The performance included several video inserts, which the event technology service provider Satis&Fy broadcast via a huge, 3.9-tonne LED cube. Even in windy conditions, the crane operator had to get the position exactly right so that technicians could take delivery of the cube both quickly and safely. 
“The MK 110 was perfect for this task. Only this type of crane is capable of such precision handling,” says Lars Ulrich, project manager at Satis&fy. The infinitely variable and emission-free high-performance FC drive ensured smooth slewing. Even heavy loads arrived safely on the ground with the help of intelligent assistance systems. 
Thanks to the MK series’ innovative design concept, it was possible to position the crane directly at the purpose-built open-air theatre and with an optimal view of the action. Both the tower jib concept and adjustable lift cabin were essential for ensuring high safety standards in the theatre. The ergonomically designed cabin also offered the crane operator a high level of comfort, which was important as each performance lasted up to ten hours.
