Economy with High Performance
In comparison with conventional drive systems, the hy-
drostatic drive used by Liebherr wheel loaders allows for
a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 25 %. This cuts
operating costs and reduces emissions. At the same time,
the use of the hydrostatic drive means that the Liebherr
Diesel engine can be installed with the output shaft point-
ing backwards. In comparison with conventional wheel
loaders, this leads to a noticeably lighter operating weight
with a higher tipping load and greater production capacity
per operating hour.
Reliability
All the materials used in Liebherr wheel loaders have passed
extensive tests to ensure that they meet Liebherr’s exact-
ing standards even under the toughest conditions. Thanks
to their mature concept and proven quality Liebherr wheel
loaders are the benchmark for reliability. Safety
Liebherr wheel loaders configured to the harsh operat-
ing conditions in tunnels are outfitted with a large number
of protective equipment. These include a cab developed
specifically for tunnel construction with armoured glass,
four operational spotlights on the rear, bucket cylinders
with piston rod protection, and rear collision protection.
Comfort
The ultra-modern cab design with advanced ergonomics,
continuously variable Liebherr driveline with 2plus2 gear-
box for uninterrupted tractive force, standard Liebherr
ride control, optimum weight distribution and easy service
access thanks to unique engine installation position lead
to extraordinary overall comfort.
