Liebherr has delivered its first 440 HC-L luffing jib crane to John Paul Construction for use on the Donore project in Dublin. This powerful crane stands out with its high lifting capacity, compact dimensions, and intelligent control system – making it ideally suited for major urban construction sites.
A strong start for a new crane generation
With the 440 HC-L, Liebherr presents a new luffing jib crane in the 400 metre-tonne class. Designed specifically for large-scale urban construction projects, the crane combines high lifting capacity with a compact footprint and intelligent control features. It offers a maximum lifting capacity of 24 tonnes and can lift up to 3.9 tonnes at a maximum jib length of 65 metres.
Donore project: Sustainable Urban Renewal in Dublin
Located in the heart of Dublin’s south inner city, the Donore Project will deliver 542 high-quality new homes, comprising 389 cost-rental and 153 social housing apartments – helping to address the city’s housing needs.
In addition to contemporary housing, the scheme will provide new public spaces and essential social infrastructure. Six Liebherr tower cranes are playing a key role in supporting the safe and efficient progress of construction, thanks to their reliability and strong on-site performance.
A successful partnership with John Paul Construction
John Paul Construction has enjoyed a close relationship with Liebherr for over five decades. The decision to use the new 440 HC-L crane reflects the company’s confidence in Liebherr’s ongoing innovation in luffing jib technology. Today, John Paul Construction operates numerous Liebherr cranes on complex projects both at home and abroad, benefiting from Liebherr’s broad product range and comprehensive technical support.
