Wheel loader for cost-effective
Block Handling
Marble has not only been used in art and sculpture for
centuries, but has also been very popular for architecture
and for both the interior and exterior design of buildings
throughout the ages.
To ensure that the rock can be fi nished to the best possible effect it is extracted in the largest possible block sizes.
A wheel loader is then responsible for removing the solid,
valuable marble blocks. The block handling version of the
Liebherr L 586 2plus2 wheel loader has been specially
developed for this purpose.
The hydrostatic drive used in the block handling machines
from Liebherr provides the high level of economy and
safety to which Liebherr users have become accustomed.
It reduces fuel consumption by up to 25% and features
excellent weight distribution as a result of the unit installation position of the components. In addition the foot brake
suffers practically zero wear. When driving on gradients,
the hydrostatic braking effect massively enhances the
safety of the driver and the area around the machine.
Like all Liebherr wheel loaders, the block handling
machines are also operated using a single control lever.
The driver’s left hand can remain on the steering wheel at
all times, resulting in greater comfort and safety for him.
Liebherr has a range of optional equipment which has
been designed specially for block handling and using
which the wheel loader can be tailored perfectly to the
specifi c conditions in which it is used. The quick-change
device included in the block handling package provides a
high level of fl exibility.
Maximum performance, economy and reliability as well
as comfort in the equipment used in the machines make
Liebherr an ideal partner for block handling.

Economy
Compared to conventional transmission, the Liebherr
driveline achieves a reduction in fuel consumption for
wheel loaders of 25% or more! 5 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 with 2plus2
gearbox 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.
