New style material handler – the LH 120 C Litronic
Liebherr recognised years ago that the movement of bulk goods in ports and harbours is growing in importance all over the world, and presented their customers with a range of equipment ideally suited to the challenge.
The new LH 120 C Litronic material handler, which was developed especially for bulk handling of dry mass materials, combines an innovative concept and conceptualisation in one machine. In years to come, mobile, modern, and economical handling machines will be steadily replacing the dock crane technology of years gone by.

The LH 120 C Litronic is the move upwards to a new series of machines with the focus on handling operations in ports and harbours. The modular format for both the basic machine and the attachments provides solutions for every operational scenario. The LH 120 C Litronic is designed as a High Rise for the requirements in sea ports, while the standard variant, in other words without the tower elevation, is the ideal answer to tasks in inland harbours. As well as this, the cab raising systems and a variety of undercarriage concepts make loading and unloading quick and easy of different types of vessels, from barges to the Handy Size class. Individual adaptation to the customer’s real needs guarantees top handling performance.

Performance
The LH 120 C Litronic material handler was developed for maximum productivity. High lifting capacities and rapid operational sequences establish the essentials for really efficient handling. And a wide range of equipment variants and Liebherr attachments mean best possible machine performance.
Comfort
The new Liebherr operator’s cab is ergonomically designed, and impressively spacious. With its modern operating concept and working characteristics which can be adjusted individually by the driver, it offers the greatest possible comfort and convenience in all material handling situations. Large electro-hydraulic maintenance flaps, the engine compartment which can be safely walked on, and the side-to-side crossover capability on the superstructure are all part of the safe and simple maintenance arrangement.
Reliability
Liebherr handling machines are designed and built to meet the hardest of handling conditions. Tough structures, extremely strong materials, and Liebherr components – the guarantee of top availability and maximum service life.
Economy
The high-tech fittings of the LH 120 C Litronic include the newly-developed multi-circuit Positive Control hydraulic system. Actuated and controlled by Liebherr electronics and the system software, this achieves rapid and streamlined working sequences combined with efficient energy usage. A flow-optimised hydraulic concept with low losses, the energy-saving ReGenerationPlus System, and the separately regulated fan operation, all add to the best possible fuel economy in every situation.
