Variable steering concept

Active rear-axle steering

The rear axles are actively electro-hydraulically controlled in accordance with
the speed and steering angle of the front axles. Five different steering pro-
grammes (P) can be selected at the touch of a button.
• Much-reduced tyre wear
• Improved manoeuvrability
• Stable driving behaviour even at high speeds
• All five axles can be steered

High safety standards – entire know-how from

Liebherr

• Centring cylinder for automatic straightening of rear axles in case of fault
• Two independent hydraulic circuits with wheel- and engine driven hydraulic

pump

• Two independent control computers

P1 Road steering
Axles 1 and 2 are steered mechanically

using the steering wheel. Axles 3, 4 and 5

are actively steered, depending on speed

and the front axle lock angle. At speeds of

30 km/h and over, axles 3 and 4 are set to

straight-ahead position and locked; at 60

km/h and over, axle 5 is locked in the same

forward position.

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

ing of the axle lock of the front axles by the

steering wheel so far that smallest turning

radii are achieved.

P3 Crab steering
Axles 3, 4 and 5 are turned in the same

direction as the wheel lock on axles 1 and 2

using the steering wheel.

P4 Reduced swing out
The axles 3, 4 and 5 are turned depending

on the axle lock of the front axles, so that

the swing out of the chassis rear gets mini-

mized.

P5 Independent rear-axle steering
The axles 1 and 2 are turned by using the

steering wheel; the axles 3, 4 and 5 are

steered by push button independently from

the axle lock of the axles 1 and 2.
