"We need powerful, reliable and efficient machines on the construction site. That's why we trust the quality of Liebherr equipment," explains Lukas Steppe, Managing Director of Steppe Tief- und Straßenbau GmbH. However it's not just the machines that make the difference, the close co-operation with Liebherr and its sales and service partner Nagel also plays a decisive role. This geographical proximity and close collaboration provide a significant advantage for Steppe, ensuring high quality and efficiency on its construction sites.
Liebherr machines at the centre of the operation
To meet the demands of modern construction sites, Steppe relies on a fleet of Liebherr machines that deliver performance, precision and energy efficiency. The R 922 crawler excavator, with an operating weight of 22 -24 tonnes, is designed for earthworks and construction projects. Its excellent operator comfort, low fuel consumption and ergonomic design make it a versatile and efficient machine for a wide range of applications.
The L 508 Compact wheel loader impresses with its compact dimensions, making it ideal for confined spaces. Productivity on site is further enhanced by the Solidlink quick-coupling system, which allows attachments to be changed at the press of a button. At the same time, the machine offers the operator excellent handling characteristics, outstanding stability and maximum safety.
The L 566 XPower wheel loader impresses with its powerful XPower travel drive, which combines two drive types in one machine to deliver unbeatable efficiency. With an operating weight of up to 26.9 tonnes and a bucket capacity of up to 12 m3, it is the ideal choice for demanding applications.
The fleet is complemented by the Liebherr PR 736 dozer, designed for demanding levelling and earthworks. With an engine output of 160 kW (217 hp) and a blade volume of 4.10 to 5.56 m3, it combines precision with power. Optimised fuel consumption and superior operator comfort ensure maximum productivity, even under tough operating conditions.
