3 Liebherr specialist machines for scrap handling
Mobile material handling machines
Scrap handling means tough demands on the material
handling machine. The latest generation of Liebherr
material handlers acknowledge this and with their robust
design demonstrate the best possible stability and at the
same time high durability. A scrap yard requires many
different and varied applications, which in turn require
a modern material handling machine. The new Liebherr
material handlers, with their vast range of attachment
combinations, grapples and quick change systems, are
the right solution for every application in the field of scrap
recycling. Whether the task is feeding, loading or sorting
- the Liebherr handling machines impress all round.
Crawler material handling machines
Wheeled machines are less suitable in scrap yards where
the emphasis is less on mobility or where the ground
is generally unpaved. The new generation of Liebherr
handlers with a crawler undercarriage is now available
for these customers. The crawler material handling
machines are ideal for operations in which the machine
is not moved very much and where the load-bearing
capacity of the ground is a limiting factor. The newly
developed undercarriages offer good stability and
a long reach. Even without moving the machine,
large quantities of materials can be handled
within a very short space of time. Liebherr material
handling machines thus represent a noticeable increase
in handling capacity and productivity.
Electric material handling machines
Electrically powered material handling machines are
becoming more important. Regardless of whether the
task at hand is indoors, at the harbour or on a scrap
yard, Liebherr has an extensive product range that is
substantially more economical than comparable diesel-
powered machines when it comes to operating and
maintenance costs. The refined electric drive system
and the reliability of the hydraulic components reduce
the machine's maintenance costs to a minimum. An
important purchasing criterion in overcrowded areas is
noise emissions. Liebherr electric machines are 4 to 5
dB lower than the same machine with a diesel engine.
Lower noise emissions also means more environmental
protection and greater driving comfort.
