Liebherr cranes power construction of final Skypark tower

Liebherr cranes are playing a pivotal role in constructing the final tower of the Skypark complex in Bratislava, Slovakia. Marking a national first, the project features the 190 HC-L luffing jib crane—Slovakia’s debut use of a Liebherr HC-L series model. 

The Skypark Tower, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, is the fifth and tallest tower in the development. Once completed, it will stand 120 metres tall with 30 floors, offering around 55,000 sq m of premium office space. Construction began in mid-2024. 

Three Liebherr cranes are in operation: 

190 HC-L with a 55-metre jib, climbing from 60 to 145 metres 

150 EC-B 8 Litronic with a 45-metre jib, also reaching 145 metres 

110 EC-B 6 with a 32.5-metre jib, attaining a hook height of 57.7 metres 

All cranes are owned by Skanska Slovakia, with tower sections and climbing gear supplied by Kranimex, Liebherr’s Slovakian dealer. 

This final tower will complete the iconic skyline reshaping Bratislava’s new city centre, blending commercial functionality with architectural finesse and sustainability.
