New Liebherr Stereoloaders® as general-purpose machines in the fight against snow and ice

Amongst municipalities and service providers, Liebherr Stereoloaders® have an outstanding reputation when it comes to demanding winter related tasks. Both of the recently introduced L 514 and L 518 Liebherr Stereoloaders® live up to this reputation.
