Liebherr MK – the collective page of road-legal mobile construction cranes outside named types, from the MK 63 to the MK 140 Plus, six-cylinders from 6.7 to 12.8 litres, operating weights up to 65.9 t
This page gathers the Liebherr MK mobile construction cranes the register could not assign to a narrower range. Liebherr builds the MK range – mobile cranes with their own road drive and road registration, distinguished from the classic truck crane by the lattice-boom system and the short erection time on site – at the Swabian Ehingen plant, the group's centre for wheeled and crawler cranes. The number after MK gives the maximum lifting capacity in tonnes, from the MK 63 at around 63 t to the MK 140 at around 140 t; the suffix Plus and version numbers such as 5.1 mark further development with greater reach or capacity.

The register lists here 10 versions with six-cylinders of 6,690 to 12,816 cm³, operating weights from 35,750 to 65,900 kg, gross weights from 36,000 to 66,000 kg, lengths from 13,760 to 15,970 mm and widths from 2,750 to 3,000 mm.
The mobile construction crane closes the gap between the pure site crane and the classic truck crane: it drives on its own axles to the site without heavy transport, and erects itself there in a short time into a tower-crane-like machine with great hook height – a field in which Liebherr is market leader.
On used MK cranes, the operating hours of chassis and crane superstructure, the condition of the lattice boom and guying, hydraulic cylinders and rope winches, the registration history of the chassis and the crane inspection history count; parts and service run through the Liebherr plant in Ehingen.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
