L 586 5
Ultra modern Liebherr driveline
Tractive force and speed are automatically adjusted to the requirements of the operator without shifting. There is no need
for a mechanical reverse gear because the travel direction is changed hydraulically.
Higher performance, lower weight
The combination of the Liebherr driveline and the unique position of the Liebherr diesel engine allows for higher tipping loads
at low operating weight. This leads to significantly higher productivity since there is no need for unnecessary counterweight.
Conventional travel gear
• Longitudinally mounted diesel engine moves the center of
gravity further forward.
• Additional counterweight is needed to maintain stability
and to increase the tipping load.
• This results in high operating weight and poor visibility.
Liebherr driveline
• Optimum weight distribution due to the Liebherr diesel
engine installed lengthways and the output shaft facing
the rear of the machine.
• The diesel engine as well as the variable displacement
pumps mounted on the engine act as counterweight,
therefore allowing higher tipping loads at low operating
weight.
• Compact design improves visibility in all directions.
