Liebherr 710 HC-L luffing crane starts at New York City
The first Liebherr luffing crane 710 HC-L 32/64 Litronic has recently been erected on the MoMA Tower jobsite in New York City (USA) and just started its work. Together with a second 710 HC L, that will be delivered mid 2016, the two tower cranes help to build the 76 story building in Midtown Manhattan. With a height of 320 m (1,050 ft), the skyscraper will be one of the highest buildings in the city. Both cranes are leased from the North American Liebherr dealer Morrow to the contractor Sorbara Construction, Lynbrook, New York.

The company leased two 710 HC L luffing jib cranes from Morrow's New York District. The first crane was erected within 17 hours of delivery to the jobsite keeping Sorbara on schedule and under budget for this phase of the project. This crane will have a 45 m (148 ft) working radius and will climb to 131 m (430 ft).

The second 710 HC-L crane will be erected during the summer of 2016. This luffing jib crane will have a 60 m (197 ft) working radius and will climb to 216 m (711 ft).
