Liebherr
At ConExpo 2026, Groves Equipment Rental Co. Inc. took delivery of their third Liebherr LR 1400 SX crawler crane.
Established in 1955, the fourth-generation family-owned Texas based company has offered heavy lifting solutions for more than 70 years at a variety of project sites including LNG plants, oil refineries and energy infrastructure along the Gulf Coast.
Built on customer service with multiple trained mechanics and a fleet of service trucks ready at a moment's notice, the company is known for quick and efficient problem solving. In addition, Groves Equipment Rental offers multiple cranes with the acquisition of Liebherr LR 1400 SX crawler crane as a perfect complement to their fleet of customizable options.
Groves Equipment Rental noted that the main criteria of this purchase included the market demand for a 440-ton crawler crane as well as its commonality in assembly, parts and operation with the existing LR 1300.1 SX crawler crane. Equipped with main boom and luffing jib, it will support many energy infrastructure projects along the Gulf Coast.
Heavy Lifting Solutions
The Liebherr LR 1400 SX crawler crane offers a range of applications ensured by a modular counterweight system and a variety of possible boom configurations. As a multipurpose crane, the LR 1400 SX can be used across a variety of industries including infrastructure with bridges or tunnels, constructing stadiums or factories with steel or precast concrete elements, working in the energy sector, lifting work on tall buildings or barge applications.
With a compact transport weight, the complete crane can be transported between job sites as the platform and railings remain attached to the uppercarriage. The flexibility and mobility of the crane also is beneficial in tight spaces. The four crawler drives make it easier to maneuver the LR 1400 SX on job sites where space is tight. Due to the track width adjustment, access on narrow roads is simplified.
The LR 1400 SX also offers a self-assembly system, gradient travel aid, ground pressure visualization, boom-up-and-down assistant as well as easy access to the modern cab.
