Variable steering concept

Active rear axle steering

The rear axles are electro-hydraulically actively steered depending
on the speed and the steering angle of the front axles.
5 steering programs (P) are preselectable by push button.
• Distinct reduction of the tyre wear
• Improvement of the manoeuvrability
• Stable driving performance also at high speeds
• All 4 axles steerable

High safety standards –

complete know-how from Liebherr

• Centring cylinders for automatic straightening of the rear axles in case of failure
• Two independent hydraulic circuits with wheel driven and engine driven

hydraulic pumps

• Two independent control computers

P1 Road steering
The axles 1 and 2 are mechanically steered

by the steering wheel. The axle 4 is actively

steered depending on the speed and on the

steering angle of the front axle. Above 30 km/h

it will be adjusted to straight driving and fixed.

Axle 3 is none steered for road driving.

P2 All-wheel steering
The axles 3 and 4 are turned by the steering

wheel depending on the steering angle of the

front axle to provide for the smallest turning

radius.

P3 Crab steering
The axles 3 and 4 are turned by the steering

wheel to the same direction as the steering

position of axle 1 and 2.

P4 Reduced swing out
The axles 3 and 4 are turned depending on

the wheel turn of the front axles to minimize

the back swing of the rear of the chassis.

P5 Independent rear axle steering
The axles 1 and 2 are steered by the steering

wheel, the axles 3 and 4 are steered by push

buttons independently from the steering an-

gle of the axles 1 and 2

Centring cylinders at the rear axles
• Automatic straight positioning of

the rear axles in case of failure.
