LHM 500 Pedestal Crane

The Liebherr LHM 500 is a deck‑mounted pedestal crane used for shipboard cargo handling, featuring an integrated hydraulic luffing and slewing system. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Pedestal Crane, and it is normally installed on deck, in a cargo area, machinery space or at a survival-craft station according to the listed crane or davit type. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to lift, lower, transfer or support loads within the approved operating envelope. Deck cranes, offshore cranes, engine-room cranes and davits differ in duty and certification, but all rely on sound structure, brakes, ropes or cylinders and protective controls. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. The source metadata also states capacity: 50 t SWL at 18 m. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
