Sometimes it is referred as the FKL 10 due to its lifting capacity of 10 t. Production order was awarded to Liebherr in 1990 after severe competition. A total of 251 units were delivered to the German military alongside 208 larger and more powerful Liebherr FKM cranes with lifting capacity of 20 t.
