Liebherr L 580 LogHandler

The Liebherr L 580 wheel loader in LogHandler format
has been developed especially for operations in the
timber handling sector. The newly designed lifting gear
means that the logs can be taken up from above at a
great height, which makes the LogHandler particularly
well-suited for work such as the loading and unloading of
trucks or feeding bark removal and sorting installations.
The grab can be rotated through 360° as well as pivoting
forwards and backwards. Depending on the requirement,
a very wide range of shapes and sizes of grab and
grapple tools are available. The driver’s cab has a roof
window, fi tted as standard with a protective grille, to
provide the best possible view upwards, and the
protective grille for the front windscreen is integrated

directly into the lifting gear. Like all Liebherr wheel
loaders, the new LogHandler has a stepless hydrostatic
drive system, which achieves impressive fuel savings.
Other advantages are the practically wear-free service
brake and the extremely low tyre wear.

Economy

Compared to conventional transmission, the Liebherr
driveline achieves a reduction in fuel consumption for
wheel loaders of 25 % or more! Five litres less fuel per
operating hour signifi cantly reduce operating costs and
environmental pollution.

Reliability

All the materials used in Liebherr wheel loaders have
passed long-term tests to ensure that they match up
to Liebherr’s exacting standards even in the toughest
conditions. The mature concept and proven quality make
Liebherr wheel loaders to the benchmark for reliability.

Performance

The Liebherr driveline allows the Liebherr diesel engine to
be mounted lengthways in the rear, with the output shaft
facing backwards. 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.

Comfort

The ultra-modern cab design with advanced ergonomics,
continuously variable Liebherr driveline for uninterrupted
tractive force, standard Liebherr ride control, optimum
weight distribution and easy service access thanks to
unique engine installation position lead to extraordinary
overall comfort.
