The LTM 1750, manufactured by Liebherr, is the world's largest mobile, road-transportable crane. Its transport weight is 180 tons and its length is 22 meters, but when assembled – with a slight exaggeration – the sky is the limit: with the help of its 204 tons of ballast, it can lift up to 800 tons – to a height of 152 meters! In this episode, we visit the Liebherr factory in Ehingen, Baden-Württemberg, to witness the birth of this impressive steel monster with our own eyes.
