Powerful and sustainable: Liebherr wheel loaders at Pollutec 2025

Visitors to the trade fair will find the L 507 E battery-powered wheel loader at Liebherr's main booth inside. Its performance is equal to that of a conventionally powered Liebherr wheel loader in the same size class; however, it emits no CO2 onsite. In addition, noise emissions are kept to a minimum, which makes the wheel loader particularly suitable for any application where you have to consider noise or exhaust fumes, for example at recycling centres in city centres or in the halls of recycling companies.

Liebherr relies on a high-voltage battery system – specially developed for L 507 E wheel loader applications – which ensures powerful performance and efficient charging. Depending on the respective operating conditions, the L 507 E offers a running time of up to eight hours. Liebherr’s modular battery design also makes it possible to install a second lithium-ion battery ex works at the customer’s request, which further increases the running time. Depending on the on-board charging technology and power rating, the battery can be fully charged in about one and a half to three hours.

Alternative drive, renowned steering system: L 507 E battery-electric Stereoloader

With the L 507 E, the battery-electric drive means that full power is available at all times. The operator thus benefits from dynamic working movements and responsive handling. As standard, the wheel loader has a final speed of 20 km/h. However, the L 507 E is also optionally available as a “Speeder” and in this version reaches a speed of up to 30 km/h, making it easier to move from one job site to another. To increase efficiency, the energy generated downhill and during braking is fed back into the battery through recuperation.

The L 507 E is based on the conventional Liebherr L 507 Stereo wheel loader. This means that the battery-electric wheel loader also features stereo steering. This combination of articulated steering and steered rear axle combines the advantages of conventional articulated steering with those of all-wheel steering. This results in a minimal turning circle and a reduced articulation angle of 30 degrees, which increases the stability of the wheel loader. Liebherr has also installed its reputable articulated pendulum joint in the L 507 E, which compensates for uneven ground and ensures that the wheel loader has excellent stability.

Powerful and versatile: Mid-sized wheel loaders with strong lift arms and z-bar kinematics

As can be seen on the L 538 wheel loader at Pollutec, the latest generation 8 of mid-sized wheel loaders impresses with a particularly powerful lift arm with Z-kinematics. This enables faster cycle times and dynamic and powerful work movements − even with heavy attachments such as high-tipping buckets in recycling applications. Liebherr offers numerous equipment options for the lift arms for industry-specific challenges: High Lift lift arms, for example, are an extended variant of the z-bar kinematics, and ensure greater range and efficient loading processes at all heights – such as when loading waste containers or lorries with high dropsides. For wheel loader applications that regularly require different attachments, there is a view-optimised quick coupler and the fully automatic LIKUFIX quick-coupler system. This allows the machine operator to change between mechanical and hydraulic working tools from the cab quickly and safely at the touch of a button, saving time and reducing the risk of accidents.
