Press kit: steinexpo 2023

Liebherr will be represented at steinexpo 2023 from 23 to 26 August 2023 with over ten machines from its earthmoving and mining product segments. In addition to the products on static display and presented in live shows, the main focus of Liebherr's presence will also be on alternative drives and the latest developments in the field of digitalisation. Several crawler excavators, an articulated dump truck, the largest Liebherr wheel loader as well as another wheel loader model, dozers and a mining excavator will be on display on Liebherr's main booth, which covers around 1,200 m2.

Liebherr will unveil the TA 230 Litronic articulated dump truck at steinexpo 2023. This powerful all-terrain machine is specially designed for efficient use in the mining industry and for overburden transport. In addition to a static exhibit, the trade fair visitors can look forward to a live demo of this robust and durable machine during the show.

Liebherr is presenting two powerful wheel loaders from two different series at this year's steinexpo, the international demonstration trade fair for the raw materials and building materials industry. Among them is the L 546, representative of the mid-sized Liebherr wheel loaders. Liebherr has recently redeveloped and fundamentally revised this series. Innovations include newly designed lift arms that ensure maximum breakout, holding and return forces. The second Liebherr wheel loader at steinexpo is the L 586 XPower®, Liebherr's largest and heaviest wheel loader with an operating weight of around 33 tonnes.

The R 972, R 978 SME, R 992 and R 998 SME crawler excavators, which replace the R 966, R 970 SME, R 976 and R 980 SME respectively, were exhibited for the first time at Bauma 2022 in Munich. The R 992 will have more specific visibility at steinexpo and will represent the entire range. Featuring numerous improvements, the new 70 to 100 tonne crawler excavators are distinguished by their improved performance data, level of operator comfort, new assistance functions and low fuel consumption.

Liebherr works ceaselessly on solutions for the crawler tractor sector, also at times of rising pressure on costs, of more stringent requirements on environmental compatibility and of spiralling fuel costs. At the steinexpo 2023 trade fair, the company reveals how its crawler tractor PR 756 achieves compliance with workplace as well as environmental requirements.

Advancing digitalisation is allowing services and solutions to become even more customised, consistent and transparent. At steinexpo, Liebherr will present a wide range of digital solutions and services for its machines that make it possible to increase their efficiency, performance and reliability as well as safety and comfort.

As one of the largest manufacturers of construction machinery, Liebherr is continuously working on drive technologies with the aim of offering its customers efficient and environmentally compatible products in the long term. These endeavours are based on, among other things, research into alternative drive concepts and an open approach to new technology. Today, the group of companies already offers numerous ecologically optimised products, some of which are completely free of local emissions. At steinexpo 2023, Liebherr will provide an insight and outlook into its work on selected alternative drive technologies specifically for machines in the mining industry.
