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 dieselpowered 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.

Performance
In the field of scrap handling, performance is extremely
important. Liebherr material handling machines have
been developed for maximum productivity. High
lift capacity and fast work cycles are the essential
prerequisites for efficient handling operations. The
optimum interplay between the hydraulics and electronics
guarantee powerful, fast movements during handling and
at the same time make it possible to work sensitively and
precisely on challenging sorting tasks.
Reliability
Liebherr material handlers guarantee the necessary
stability and with their robust and durable construction
ensure smooth operations right across the scrap
metal industry. Diesel engine, hydraulic components,
electronics components, slewing ring, swivel drive and
steel construction: developed, tested and produced
by Liebherr - in the accustomed high quality for a long
service life and maximum machine availability.
automatic central lubrication systems for the machine
and its attachments provide the necessary comfort
for the driver to concentrate on what is important – the
handling capacity.
Economy
The new generation of material handling machines
are powerful and efficient. Liebherr achieves this
difficult balancing act with its own engine technology
manufactured in-house and optimised to meet the
requirements of controlled hydraulics. With the innovative
Liebherr energy recovery system, a sta ndard feature on the
LH 40 and above, fuel consumption is reduced by up
to 30 percent and the handling capacity of the machine
is boosted by faster, more homogeneous work cycles.
The service-orientated construction of the machine
guarantees short maintenance periods and minimises
the associated maintenance costs thanks to the shorter
servicing.
Comfort
The newly developed Liebherr cab gives the operator the
necessary space and comfort to make the best possible
use of his machine's capability.
The ergonomically designed operator's workplace also
features the best possible all-round view. In addition,
ergonomic ladder systems, different cab elevations and
