Economy

The Liebherr driveline with Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE) reduces wheel loader fuel consumption by 25 % or more when compared to conventional travel gears!

Performance

The Liebherr driveline allows for optimal positioning of the diesel engine. In this wheel loader class the diesel engine is rotated 90° and mounted transverse to the direction of travel. Compared to conventionally driven wheel loaders, the operating weight is much lower, the tipping load is higher, and more material can be moved each operating hour.

Reliability

All the materials used in the Liebherr wheel loaders have passed extensive tests to ensure that they meet Liebherr’s exacting standards even in the toughest conditions. The advanced concept and proven quality make Liebherr wheel loaders the benchmark of reliability.

Comfort

The ultra-modern cab design with advanced ergonomics continuously variable Liebherr driveline for uninterrupted tractive force, optimum weight distribution and easy service access lead to extraordinary overall comfort.

are no match for Liebherr machines, mainly due to the

 

following factors:

 

− Low fuel consumption thanks to higher efficiency and

 

low operating weight. Thanks to the newly developed

 

Liebherr Power Efficiency system the generation

 

Tier 4i wheel loaders L 524 – L 542 use up to 8 % less

 

fuel compared to their predecessors.

 

− Practically no brake wear thanks to the hydraulic braking

 

action of the driveline; this ultimately reduces repair

 

costs.

 

− Reduced tire wear due to continuous traction control.

 

Depending on the working conditions, there is up to

 

25 % less wear.

Compared to conventionally driven wheel loaders, the operating weight is much lower, the tipping load is higher, and more material can be moved each operating hour.

Higher performance, lower weight

Higher productivity The combination of the Liebherr driveline and the unique position of the 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.

Ultra modern Liebherr driveline

Innovative technology 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.

Flexibility puts them ahead

An all-purpose loader The parallel linkage is available as an alternative to the standard Z-bar linkage, at no additional cost. The parallel linkage features a parallel guide arrangement and high torque in the upper lifting range - ideal properties for larger and heavier attachments as well as transporting heavy loads. With its parallel linkage Liebherr offers a continuous and uniform solution for industrial operations over the entire range of all-round loaders. With their compact design, Liebherr wheel loaders can maneuver quickly and efficiently - the best choice for high handling capacities.

Power All-Rounders The new generation Tier 4i all-round wheel loader models have for industry been specifically developed for industrial use in terms of their performance and stability and ensure even higher productivity and efficiency. In addition to increasing the engine performance, the tipping loads of the whole range have been increased.

Furthermore the steel structure has been reinforced and the hydraulic system‘s performance enhanced. That, together with the wide range of equipment available makes these all-round loaders the perfect solution for all industrial uses.

Liebherr driveline

The Liebherr driveline consists of two hydraulic motors, which

accelerate the loader continuously from a standstill to maximum speed, either forwards or in reverse – without a manual gear shift and a reversing gear unit.
