Liebherr Will Display Three Products at the World of Concrete Trade Show

Liebherr will showcase its L 528 and L 550 wheel loaders and A 900C Litronic wheel excavator at the World of Concrete Trade Show Jan. 22-25, 2008, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

When it comes to economy, conventional wheel loaders are no match for Liebherr’s L 528 and L 550 wheel loaders, according to the company.  The Liebherr driveline, combined with low operating weight and high tipping load, results in up to 25 percent less fuel consumption than conventionally driven wheel loaders.

The Liebherr wheel loaders are not only fuel efficient but comfortable. The cab design allows the operator to achieve better performance and productivity, according to the company. The displays, controls and driver’s seat are carefully coordinated to form an ergonomic unit. 

The combination of the Liebherr hydrostatic driveline and the unique position of the diesel engine allows for higher tipping loads at low operating weight. This leads to significantly higher productivity with no need for unnecessary counterweight, the company says.

The large Liebherr wheel loaders are equipped with the 2plus2 gearbox, so tractive force and speed are automatically adjusted to the requirements without the driver having to shift.

The A 900 C is the latest offering from Liebherr. Weighing in at 39,500 pounds, the machine is powered by a purpose-built Liebherr D-924 Tier III compliant diesel engine producing 118 horsepower at 1,800 rpm. Liebherr-designed electronics precisely control all engine functions to optimize performance and efficiency, according to the company, and four operating modes allow the operator to match engine and hydraulic output to achieve maximum production and efficiency.

The optional Liebherr quick coupler can also automatically make the hydraulic connections from tool to machine, allowing the operator to change hydraulic tools without ever leaving the comfort of the cab.
