In a world witnessing the urgent need for renewable energy solutions, the Liebherr Group’s close ties with the wind energy sector are proving pivotal in revolutionizing system solutions and dimensions. The Liebherr Crawler Dozers are playing a crucial role in the construction of wind turbines, as exemplified by the recent success of BWR Schermbeck.

For BWR Schermbeck, a prominent player in wind park construction projects in Germany, the Liebherr Crawler Dozers have become indispensable. Over its 25-year journey, BWR Schermbeck has accumulated profound expertise in earthworks and civil engineering. The company’s recent involvement in the construction of a 5.6 MW wind turbine in Haltern, North Rhine-Westphalia, highlights the seamless integration of Liebherr construction machinery.

Efficiency and high performance are the hallmarks of Liebherr Crawler Dozers, making them the preferred choice for companies like BWR Schermbeck. Dirk Bleker, Managing Director of BWR Schermbeck, emphasizes the low fuel consumption and high thrust of the dozers, contributing not only to effective on-site operations but also significant cost reductions.

Marc Hüfing, foreman of the earthmoving department at BWR Schermbeck, attests to the remarkable fuel efficiency even under heavy loads. In 2023, the average consumption of the company’s Crawler Dozer remains below the fleet average, recorded in the Liebherr fuel economy calculator.

Beyond fuel efficiency, the versatility of Liebherr Crawler Dozers is a standout feature. Ideal for various terrains, these machines excel in tight spaces and can be easily transported on semi-low loaders.

Safety and comfort are paramount for BWR Schermbeck, and Liebherr addresses this with the Silent Design, a noise reduction package promoting the well-being of the operators during challenging operations.

In addition to power and efficiency, Liebherr Crawler Dozers boast advanced assistance systems crucial for precise operations. With three levels of assistance systems—Free Grade, Definition Grade, and 3D Grade—these dozers offer unparalleled support for grading tasks, especially in areas with limited satellite reception.
