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 preselecta-
ble by push button.
• Distinct reduction of the tyre wear
• Improvement of the manoeuvrability
• Stabile driving performance also at high speeds
• All 6 axles steerable, no lifting of the centre axles at crab steering

High safety standards –

complete know-how from Liebherr

• Centralizing cylinders for automatic straightening of the rear axles in case of

failure

• Two independent hydraulic circuits with wheel driven and motor driven hy-

draulic pumps

• Two independent steering computers

P1 Road steering
The axles 1 and 2 are mechanically steered by

the steering wheel. The axle 3, 4, 5 and 6 are

actively steered depending on the speed and

on the steering angle of the front axle. From

30 km/h the axles 3 and 4 will be adjusted to

straight driving and fixed. From 60 km/h

the axles 5 and 6 are also adjusted to

straight driving and fixed.

P2 All-wheel steering
The axles 3, 4, 5 and 6 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, 4, 5 and 6 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, 4, 5 and 6 are turned de-

pending 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, 4, 5 and 6

are steered by push buttons indepen-

dently from the steering angle of the

axles 1 and 2.

Centralizing cylinders at the rear

axles
• Automatic straight positioning of

the rear axles in case of failure
