Game of Cranes competition seeks world's best mobile crane operator

The Liebherr Game of Cranes is a newly established international mobile crane world championship designed to help find the world's best crane operator.

Seventy five candidates from all over the world are taking part in the competition and have submitted impressive entries showing their skills handling a Liebherr mobile crane. During the voting phase, participants can share their videos with their community. Then, the public can cast their votes and support their favourite operators heading to the next round. 

Here's what happens next:

The five best applicants from each region qualify for the preliminary rounds in September: in North America, South America, Australia, Europe, and Africa/Middle East/Asia. The decision will be based on a combination of public voting and assessment by a Liebherr expert jury. The jury pays particular attention to safe working, precise crane operation, technical expertise, and confident handling of the machine, skills of a true professional mobile crane operator. In its assessment, the jury also recognizes the professionalism of the image and video material submitted for the voting.

The best drivers from each of the preliminary rounds will compete against each other in the grand international final in November 2025 at the crane manufacturer's headquarters in Ehingen, Germany, where they will compete for the title in the Game of Cranes.

Videos from the 75 operators have been added to the Liebherr website, where viewers can vote once a day for each video until July 27, 2025. Follow the link to see the entries and decide who you want to win the Game of Cranes.
