SC&RA Liebherr USA, Co. mobile and crawler cranes recently received the Environmental Award from the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) at its annual conference hosted on Amelia Island in April 2026. SC&RA is an international organization comprised of more than 1,350 members from 46 nations.
The SC&RA Environmental Award is presented to a member company that demonstrates a consistent commitment to environmental protection. Firms across the United States and around the world submit dozens of entries to the SC&RA Awards competition each year. The Awards program recognizes worldwide excellence in the crane, rigging, and specialized transportation industry. Simon Schuster, Divisional Director of mobile and crawler cranes, Liebherr USA, Co. Schuster accepted the award.
“This award means a lot to the entire Liebherr team,” he said. “It not only highlights the great measures we are taking toward a more sustainable future, but it also demonstrates the excellent teamwork between our crane factory in Germany and our mixed sales organization here in the U.S.”
Liebherr is advancing efforts to further minimize CO2 emissions and reduce noise pollution on construction projects through electric mobility in mobile and crawler cranes. Using a technology neutral approach, Liebherr offers a variety of alternative drives for emission-free construction sites including hybrid-electric, battery powered, and unplugged cranes as well as a mobile energy storage system enabling emission-free operation even where grid power is unavailable.
These sustainability efforts extend beyond equipment operation to long-term impact. Liebherr mobile and crawler cranes play a vital role in the U.S. wind industry, supporting the erection of wind turbines and the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure nationwide. At the same time, the Liebherr-Reman program strengthens the circular economy by remanufacturing used components to “same-as-new” quality, conserving energy-intensive materials while delivering cost-effective, sustainable solutions.
Safety remains integral across all applications and projects. Liebherr cranes are equipped with in-house assistance systems including rear-area camera monitoring, blind-spot detection, and collision warning systems enhance safety and efficiency both on the road and on construction sites across the U.S.
