HLC 295000 crane crash Orion 1 Wind Farm Vessel Liebherr Rostock Germany 2 May 2020

[@stevehorton2003]

Look how close that block comes to the operator's cabin 6 seconds in. Terrifying

[@MT-su2lq]

Just some info: It was not the crane which failed or broke by itself but the test weight failed. This was a maximal weight test with a 5000 tons weight. All was going fine but then the attachment of the weight block broke and released the test weight accidently and at once. What we see here is what would happens to every crane of the world, which lifts 5000 tons and/or its maximal weight limit and that weight got instantly released when the crane is still under full load. Like a whip, the steel of the crane was swinging back and because it was a maximal load test, that whip effect was going far, far over the maximal limits. Its then unavoidable and in fact its the #1 reason beside going over maximal load that cranes crash. Lifting 5000 tons is never without risk, if something goes wrong then it will do damage.

Liebherr stated that the hook failed at 2600 t test load

[@dieseltrainfreek]

The hook is gone how do you explain that ?

[@denisbriffaud3272]

The test load was 2600 MT, the hook parted from the main lifting beam at the swivel bearing, no further details available. If you look closely the video, you can see the beam but no hook.

You are mistaken

[@denisbriffaud3272]

why ?

[@caprimann87]

Tja, Kranplätze müssen verdichtet sein

Ich danke dir vielmals für diesen Kommentar. Lang nich so schön gelacht. xD

Fun fact. Im at this moment on that ship in Netherlands 😃

[@jakubszarek6833]

So many experts here :-D

[@TheEagleJax]

Where's the rest of the footage?

[@ryderd56]

I agree it was about to get real. You recon some lines broke?

[@TheEagleJax]

5 people hurt and a 5,000T crane destroyed wasn't about to get real it was literally worst case scenario outside of turning the barge over. Based on my experience as a crane operator both on dry land and in the marine environment I'm thinking that either the rigging to the proof load failed or the hoist line did. I'm more inclined to think that the rigging failed though as the block was still hanging out. However without the footage from before where this clip starts it's really impossible to be sure.

[@abalada]

@@TheEagleJax Cause of the accident seems to be that the hook broke. The footage is from a passer-by which started only filming into the accident.

[@ryderd56]

@@TheEagleJax that respectfully is what that meant. Getting real is about the true loss. Very sad to that happen

[@denisbriffaud3272]

at second 5 we can see the test barge, but it looks like there is no shackles and slings connected to the eye plates ?

Dear Upstream Online, My name is Ava Kuo, a Taiwan-based producer. I am currently working on a documentary film for Discovery channel, we would like to explore the possibility to use this footage for the documentary. Could we establish contact with you?

Deutsche Gründlichkeit: they did some proper testing. But what were the test results?

Hi there, I’m Abraham, work for a production company, and might be looking to use this video of yours. Do you own it? Many thanks! Abe

This will ruin Liebherr's reputation

[@toyscrashingchannel]

Lifting hook quality fail

[@rickrudd]

Wouldn't you think that on a boat where weight isn't an issue that they would overbuild it by a factor of like... 10?

[@AntiGrafZahl]

Biggest swimming crane in the world lifts 20000 t with 2 cranes and therefore 10000t per crane. There are physical limits and also have you heard about money?

Apparently, the part that failed was purchased for a slightly lower price from China.

Dude its Germany made

[@benjod8706]

Qualitätsstahl aus China 😂

[@LittleFangMeow]

Liebherr supplied the ship’s crane and said in March that the unit, which features a 145-metre boom, is the largest ever built by the company. This is Made in Germany.

@@LittleFangMeow The failing hook was delivered by a Dutch company.
