Earthmoving machines for defence, disaster control and military infrastructure

Liebherr construction machines combine power, precision and total reliability in both civil and military environments.

Our all-terrain, extremely robust military machines - including wheel loaders, excavators, telescopic handlers, carrier vehicles and bulldozers – provide essential support to pioneering and logistics forces as well as disaster relief and civil defence organisations worldwide. They are deployed wherever sites need to be prepared and secured or important emergency measures need to be implemented.

Mobile, versatile and engineered for maximum performance, they make a significant contribution to safety and supply. Whether in the case of defence, international aid missions or the reconstruction of critical infrastructure: Liebherr military machines deliver maximum operational readiness and reliability - even under the most extreme conditions.

Versatile solutions for military and security infrastructure

Excavators

Wheeled excavators and crawler excavators from Liebherr are key tools for protection, safety and stability - in both military and civilian applications.

Wheeled excavators impress with their performance, high load capacity and manoeuvrability. They are perfectly suited for infrastructure work, clearing operations and logistical tasks - whether in confined spaces or across expansive terrain.

Crawler excavators excel on rough terrain, where precision and endurance are essential. Both wheeled and crawler models provide reliable support to pioneer forces and disaster relief operations - even under the most challenging conditions.

Our commitment to safety and defence is based on our proven portfolio in earthmoving and civil engineering – discover more:

Crawler excavators

Wheel loaders

Liebherr wheel loaders move material quickly, precisely and reliably - when building protective structures, clearing areas for operation or transporting relief supplies. Thanks to efficient drive technology and intelligent hydraulics, they remain fully operational even under extreme conditions. With their combination of manoeuvrability, power and robust technology, they are just as convincing in military infrastructure projects as they are in more complex rescue scenarios.

Our commitment to safety and defence is based on our proven portfolio in a wide range of earthmoving, quarrying and material handling applications – discover more:

Carrier vehicles

The TA 230 Litronic from Liebherr is designed for demanding off-road missions and transporting heavy loads reliably to their destination. With its exceptional load capacity, robust design and advanced off-road capabilities, it is the ideal solution for military operations and logistics tasks. All-wheel drive, traction control and reinforced axles deliver maximum mobility, while the optimised cab with perfect all-round visibility ensures safety and efficiency - even in extreme conditions.

Its versatility makes the TA 230 Litronic a universal platform – suitable for everything from container transport to specialised defence and pioneer solutions.

Crawler dozers

Liebherr crawler dozers pave the way - even under the most difficult conditions. They create stable ground for military infrastructure, clear rubble and secure terrain for pioneering work and disaster relief.

The hydrostatic travel drive ensures optimum pushing speed is always available for maximum performance regardless of changing weather conditions or varying material qualities. Operator assistance systems enable fast, precise grading – either directly at the machine or from a safe distance with LiReCon, the Liebherr Remote Control System in configurations tailored for Government and Defence applications.

Telescopic handlers

Liebherr telescopic handlers combine lifting power, reach and precise handling – making them ideal for military and safety-critical applications where versatility and speed are essential. They lift, move and position materials in hard-to-access terrain, providing vital support for supply, logistics and the construction of military infrastructure.

With high load capacity, impressive lifting heights and a wide range of versatile attachments, they are true all-rounders. Whether as a powerful "S" version for intensive use or the adaptable standard model, Liebherr telescopic handlers deliver outstanding mobility, efficiency and precision in all conditions.

Our commitment to safety and defence is based on our proven portfolio in general material handling applications - discover more:
