The Liebherr family company, based in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is the global market leader in the mobile and crawler cranes sector, with around 30,000 of the company’s mobile cranes currently in service worldwide. Among these is the LTM 1750, the largest mobile crane in the world that can drive on the road with its enormous telescopic boom mounted. It has a maximum load capacity of 800 tons with a 52-meter telescopic boom and a maximum lift height of 152 meters. The crane consists of four elements: the carrier, the superstructure, the engine, and the telescopic boom. The metal fabrication shop is where the frame sections for the mobile telescopic crane are made, consisting of over 1000 individual parts that all have to be joined together exactly according to the fabrication plan. The LTM 1750 costs approximately €4 million and is equipped with hydraulic axle suspension. The crane can maneuver on site with a load on the hook and can lift up to 1.8 tonnes at the maximum operating radius of 160 meters.

GERMAN ENGINEERING GOES CRAZY: Inside Lynx KF41 Production – World’s Most Advanced Armored Vehicle!
GERMAN ENGINEERING GOES CRAZY: Inside Lynx KF41 Production: World’s Most Advanced Armored Vehicle Built in Germany and Hungary
WELT TV gained exclusive access to the production of the Lynx KF41, one of the most advanced armored vehicles of our time. From the first prototypes in Unterlüß to full-scale series production in Hungary, we follow every step: hull assembly, engine integration, turret installation, testing, and final handover. With its 1,155 hp diesel engine, modular design, and cutting-edge sensor technology, the Lynx sets new standards in protection, mobility, and digital warfare.
The Lynx KF41: Engineering the Future of Warfare
Built by Germany’s Rheinmetall, the Lynx KF41 represents a new era of armored mobility and combat intelligence. Combining speed, modular firepower, and digital integration, it redefines what a modern infantry fighting vehicle can achieve. With Hungary as the first NATO nation to adopt and manufacture the Lynx, a new European defense hub has emerged—where precision engineering meets battlefield innovation. From its 1,155-horsepower engine and advanced Lance turret to fully networked soldier systems and AI-supported targeting, every component is designed for endurance and adaptability.
In Unterlüß and Zalaegerszeg, production fuses German expertise with Hungarian ambition, creating a tank built for decades of service. The Lynx isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a platform for the digital battlefield of tomorrow.
