With the new Liebherr crawler crane construction kit, fischertechnik is expanding its range with a technically sophisticated model for young inventors and model building and technology enthusiasts. Inspired by the original Liebherr LR 1110, the construction kit brings the world of modern construction machinery into the living room.

The real Liebherr LR 1110 is a newly designed crawler crane with a lifting capacity of up to 110 tons, which impresses with its innovative design and particularly high performance. Its optimized steel construction and versatile boom configurations are characteristic features that enable flexibility and efficiency in a wide variety of construction site applications. The ergonomic cab and the ability to swivel the ballast continuously ensure stability and ease of operation – features that the fischertechnik model playfully reflects in simplified form. 

The model impresses with its realistic design and sophisticated, modular construction. The characteristic steel construction of the original is replicated with fischertechnik components, enabling a wide range of lifting and movement functions. A special highlight are the two rope winches: the first is used to move the crane hook precisely up and down, while the second rope winch controls the inclination of the boom. This allows the crane movements to be carried out realistically and in a controlled manner. 

With over 200 components, the kit offers a challenging but well-structured building experience. The step-by-step construction promotes technical understanding, spatial thinking, and a deeper understanding of engineering concepts. While playing and presenting, realistic application scenarios from the construction site can be recreated – a clear added value for model builders who value functionality and authenticity.

The Liebherr crawler crane from fischertechnik is aimed at children aged 7 and up, but also appeals to teenagers and adult technology enthusiasts who enjoy precision model building and mechanical solutions. The kit combines creative building fun with in-depth insights into the world of engineering and is thus exemplary of fischertechnik's high standards of quality, education, and play value. The construction worker figure included in the set brings the model to life. It invites little builders to invent their own exciting stories about the construction site. This makes building not only a technical experience, but also a creative adventure. 

About fischertechnik — Understanding technology through play
For decades, the fischertechnik brand has stood for high-quality building and construction sets that encourage curiosity and creative thinking. From the age of three, fischertechnik—with its sustainable craft material fischerTiP—enables a playful introduction to the world of construction and design. Building on this, fischertechnik offers affordable starter sets that provide quick and easy access to technology. As children get older and their interest grows, the product lines lead step by step to more sophisticated construction kits – right up to programmable systems and simulation models that enable students and adults to understand real processes within a modern factory. In this way, fischertechnik teaches technical and STEM knowledge in a playful way from an early age – skills that are invaluable for later careers in technology and the natural sciences.
