L 580 LogHandler 2
The Liebherr L 580 wheel loader in LogHandler format
has been developed especially for operations in the
timber handling sector. The newly designed lifting gear
means that the logs can be taken up from above at a
great height, which makes the LogHandler particularly
well-suited for work such as the loading and unloading of
trucks or feeding bark removal and sorting installations.
The grab can be rotated through 360° as well as pivoting
forwards and backwards. Depending on the requirement,
a very wide range of shapes and sizes of grab and
grapple tools are available. The driver’s cab has a roof
window, fi tted as standard with a protective grille, to
provide the best possible view upwards, and the
protective grille for the front windscreen is integrated

directly into the lifting gear. Like all Liebherr wheel
loaders, the new LogHandler has a stepless hydrostatic
drive system, which achieves impressive fuel savings.
Other advantages are the practically wear-free service
brake and the extremely low tyre wear.
