Liebherr Ehingen is inviting its customers’ mobile crane operators to take part in the international ‘Game of Cranes’ competition. The participants will compete in three disciplines: safety, dexterity and technical understanding.
“The job of a crane driver requires technical understanding, dexterity and a sense of responsibility. With the ‘Game of Cranes’, we not only want to honour the skills of crane drivers, but also raise awareness of the profession,” said Michaela Gogeißl from Liebherr Customer Training.
How to join?
Registration: From 7 April to 31 May 2025, companies can register their mobile crane operators who will participate on their behalf in the competition, using the QR code with a link to the Liebherr homepage, or click here. All mobile crane customers of Liebherr can join, worldwide.
Voting: On behalf of their company, the registered crane operators promote their participation in the competition with a video or a photo, demonstrating their skills, on social media. Whether in a two-axle model or a 1,200-t crane, the most impressive operation is what counts – so the more votes the video receives by July 2025, the better. According to Liebherr, crawler cranes are not part of the competition.
Qualification: Who makes it to the preliminary round in September 2025 depends on various factors – both the number of votes and the judgement of Liebherr’s mobile crane experts.
Preliminary round: Following successful qualification, the participants will go to the preliminary round. Depending on the customer location, a total of five representatives from participating companies from each region travel either to Newport News (USA), Guaratinguetá (Brazil), Adelaide (Australia), Azuqueca de Henares (Spain) or Dammam (Saudi Arabia). Here, the crane operators will be able to demonstrate their skills and expertise in the three disciplines.
Final: The five best crane operators will be invited to Ehingen (Germany) in November 2025 for the final round. The top three winners will receive vouchers for their companies (first place €2,500, second place €1,250, and third place €500) to redeem in the Liebherr shop – unlimited in time and applicable to multiple purchases.
