Press Kit: Bauma Media Dialogue 2022

In order to achieve the international climate objectives, economies worldwide must reduce their greenhouse gas emissions significantly in all sectors. This also applies to the construction industry and its partners. This is why Liebherr, as one of the largest construction equipment manufacturers, is also working on new, efficient drive concepts. In doing so, the company focuses on technology neutrality which has been affirmed by a recent study.

Cleaner drive concepts for vehicles and machines are becoming more important than ever in order to reduce CO2 emissions. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils (HVO) play an important role at Liebherr. HVO is an alternative fuel which can now be used in the majority of the Liebherr construction machines, cranes and mining equipment in pure form or in addition to fossil diesel.

Liebherr has been developing and supplying mixing plants for concrete production for more than 60 years. All of this experience has now been incorporated into the new development of an innovative modular system.

At Bauma 2022 Liebherr will present many new products, highlights and innovations for the earthmoving and material handling sectors. Practical applications of current and future alternative drive concepts are presented in the form of live shows taking place several times a day. At the main trade fair stand visitors will find an overview of future-oriented services and solutions for its earthmoving and material handling machines.

At Bauma Liebherr presents a representative from the area of rail-road excavators with the A 922 Rail Litronic. The trade fair exhibit is equipped with a hydrostatic drive concept as well as the new, fully hydraulic quick coupling system LIKUFIX®. Liebherr also provides a general outlook of solutions in terms of intelligent handling of attachments using the rail-road excavator. The articulated dump truck TA 230 Litronic also celebrates its début at Bauma – this is the first appearance of the machine on an international trade fair stage.

Liebherr-France SAS in Colmar also produces the latest Generation 8 series of earthmoving crawler excavators. This new stage is characterised especially by even higher performance, even greater productivity and even more comfort for the operator. Like all models of the new generation, this machine also benefits from many improvements.

Liebherr is showcasing compact loaders and mid-sized wheel loaders at Bauma 2022 – two wheel loader product lines which have undergone complete overhauls. At Bauma 2022, the compact loaders, also including the new L 504 Compact model, can be seen for the first time at a trade show in Germany. Liebherr is also using the world's leading trade fair for construction machinery as a stage for presenting the mid-sized wheel loaders to a cross-industry audience for the first time. Their stand-out feature is a significant increase in performance compared to previous models.

Liebherr presents material handlers for diverse applications at Bauma 2022. With the LH 22 M Industry Litronic Liebherr presents a material handler for efficient use in tree care and the timber industry. A wide selection of compatible attachments rounds off the portfolio on site.

At Bauma, held in Munich Germany from October 24 - 30 2022, Liebherr Mining will unveil a brand-new mid-size class hydraulic excavator – the second Generation 8 machine within the Liebherr Mining portfolio. The T 274, a class-leading 305-tonne mining truck will be on display, featuring an impressive demonstration of the Trolley Assist System. Visitors will also experience the latest products and services from Liebherr Mining’s Technology Product portfolio in the dedicated technology pavilion including the company’s modular approach to emission reduction, contributing to a more environmental oriented development in the mining industry.

Liebherr has unveiled its latest crawler crane with the slogan “Game changer for tomorrow’s energy” – the LR 12500-1.0 with a capacity of 2,500 tonnes supplements the portfolio below the LR 13000. The design of the slewing platform and the main boom sets new standards as the uniquely wide main boom gives the crane the stability of a PowerBoom.

1 becomes 2 because of 3 – the Liebherr LTM 1110-5.1 mobile crane has become the LTM 1110 5.2 because it has three completely new features – the crane control system, the driver's cab and the gearbox. The Liebherr 110 tonne crane, which was first unveiled at Bauma 2019, features the new driver's cab also unveiled at the trade show in prototype form, Liebherr’s new LICCON3 crane control system and also the recently announced ZF TraXon DynamicPerform gearbox. The oil-cooled multi-disk clutch is also new. It has now undergone intensive testing and is now ready for series production. This means that the new LTM 1110-5.2 combines existing strengths with pioneering innovations to deliver greater safety and comfort. To go with these new features, Liebherr is launching a completely new standard crane design, which marks the future for its all-terrain series.

The accelerating climate revolution demands drive concepts to be used in the construction industry which reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. To meet the needs of customers and the demand for greener equipment as well as possible, Liebherr is working on alternative drive units, which are perfectly tailored to the application and location of the machine, without focusing on a single technology.

Liebherr will unveil its first large cranes featuring a fibre rope and its first hydraulic luffing jib crane at the construction machinery show in Munich. Whether they are for enormous hook heights or particularly constricted sites – these new cranes enhance Liebherr’s reputation as a reliable partner on sites of all types.

The benefits of fibre rope are particularly noticeable on large cranes because each metre of additional hook height makes the significantly lower rope weight even more noticeable. Liebherr is now extending its fibre crane portfolio with extremely powerful machines – including the EC-B series for the first time.

Liebherr-Werk Nenzing GmbH promptly reacted to the ever-changing requirements of the construction industry with the first battery-powered drilling rig in the world - the LB 16 unplugged. Today, no less than six new unplugged products can be presented from the fields of piling, drilling and lifting.

At Bauma 2022, Liebherr will offer the visitors a unique opportunity to gain an insight into the world of components alongside the latest developments in construction machinery, cranes, material handling and mining from 24 to 30 October 2022. In line with the Group's motto “On your site”, the Components product segment also demonstrates that the Liebherr team is always at the side of its customers, wherever they may be - whether directly on the construction site with innovative product technologies or through individual consulting, worldwide services and fully comprehensive solution concepts.

With the condition monitoring system for slewing bearings, Liebherr has created a digital monitoring system. The integrated wear measurement system, bearing clearance monitoring (BCM), ensures optimum remote monitoring of the slewing bearings in various applications, such as mining, material handling or maritime equipment. The BCM system can be used to measure bearing wear in axial and radial directions, as well as tilting clearance. Such a remote diagnostics does not only ensure flexibility in measurement, but also reduced downtime, lower costs in maintenance and, above all, higher personal protection.

The Liduro Power Port (LPO) is a mobile energy storage system for the supply of construction sites. Hybrid or fully electrically powered construction machinery and equipment can be operated or charged locally emission-free with the mobile energy storage system. The high power density and compact design of the LPO enable efficient and flexible supply to machines and construction sites with a wide range of power requirements. Its constant power output reaches up to 120 kW.

The mobility industry is currently focusing heavily on reducing CO2 emissions. For on-highway vehicles, from passenger cars all the way to heavy trucks, clear objectives have already been defined internationally. For off-highway applications, on the other hand, no binding plans have yet been set forth. However, the global decarbonisation strategy is showing increased interest in hydrogen as a fuel among OEMs and engine manufacturers in the on- and off-highway sectors. As a development partner and system supplier for climate-friendly injection technology, Liebherr offers solutions for hydrogen combustion engines that can be used in on- and off-highway applications.
