Articulated loaders

05/06/2015

Liebherr presents examples of three different wheel loader categories at Vei og Anlegg 2015, offering specific advantages to customers: The stereoloader L 509 stands out with its excellent manoeuvrability. The agile middle series all-rounder L 542 can be adjusted to individual needs through a wide range of equipment options. The large hydrostatically driven wheel loader L 580 achieves up to 25 percent lower fuel consumption than machines from other manufacturers.

As an additional exhibit Liebherr shows the stereoloader L 509. The machine is equipped with a 2.0 m3 light material bucket. The wheel loader is driven by a 54 kW / 73 HP diesel engine. Emissions are below the limit values required according to Stage IIIB / Tier 4f. The exhibit is shown as speeder version, reaching a top speed of 30 km/h. The speeder version is an option, which is ideal for rapid journeys between working sites and fast load handling movements.

The unique Liebherr stereo-concept has undergone continuous development since its launch in 1994. This steering geometry combines a centre pivot with a steered rear axle, for maximum operating efficiency even in the most confined spaces. As a result, Liebherr stereoloaders offer excellent manoeuvrability. Narrow access routes and thoroughfares do not present an obstacle for the L 509. Its turning circle is up to 20 percent tighter compared with conventional steered wheel loaders. A further advantage of the steering concept is the reduced articulation angle of just 30 degrees – compared with the articulation angle of 40 degrees of conventional models. This enables the driver to carry heavier loads, because the tipping load is increased. The L 509, exhibited at Vei og Anlegg 2015, illustrates this advantage: The machine achieves a tipping load of 4,268 kg at a low operating weight of 6,480 kg. At the same time the stereo-concept means the best stability and tipping safety in this class.
