Liebherr USA, Co.’s Earthmoving and material handling technology team will be exhibiting at WasteExpo 2023 in May 2023 showcasing the L 556 wheel loader and R 914 compact litronic.
The annual WasteExpo conference will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana from May 1-4, 223. Organized by Waste360., WasteExpo provides a platform for over 600 exhibitors and 14,000+ attendees to network and learn about the solid waste, recycling, and organics industry.
Liebherr USA, Co. will be showcasing specialty machines for waste applications. Special Applications Product Manager, Chris Keyes, will be on site at the Liebherr booth for any inquiries. Keyes notes, “WasteExpo 2023 is a great opportunity for us to connect with our customers and better understand their needs within the industry. It also allows attendees to get up-close with our specialty machines and know that they will have the right machine prepared for specialized applications such as waste and recycling.”
The R 914 compact litronic is the smallest Liebherr crawler excavator, which features a powerful diesel engine and particularly high break-out forces. The extraordinary sensitivity of the hydraulic system enables the operator to work with precision at high speeds, even when moving. And the short rear slewing radius delivers greater safety for both operator and the machine.
The L 556 offers an innovative machine concept which combines performance, fuel efficiency, strength and comfort. Now including a power split driveline, XPower wheel loaders off maximum efficiency in all applications.

But what's behind this decision, and why do all ropes already in the field benefit too? Six questions for Jochen Huber, Product Manager Fibre Technology at Liebherr, on the tests, the impact for customers on site, and the wider strategy behind Fibre technology.

Liebherr is increasing the overall service life of its Fibre ropes from 14 to 16 years, with the decisive period of use rising to up to 12 years. This is based on multi-year ageing trials on test rigs and analyses of ropes already in field. The new ruling applies automatically to all new ropes and those already in the field. This step forms part of Liebherr's ongoing path towards establishing Fibre technology as the new standard in the tower crane market.
