Versatile Liebherr material handling machine in operation at Leutkircher Wertstoffhof recycling centre

An LH 26 M Industry Litronic material handling machine has been in operation for some time at a recycling and disposal specialist at Leutkirch im Allgäu (Ravensburg district). Andreas, Thomas and Jürgen Mayer, company owners and long-time Liebherr customers, are impressed by the versatility of their new material handler. Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH accompanied the customer in their first tree maintenance operation with the LH 26 M.

The LH 26 M Industry mobile Liebherr material handler impresses with it robust, compact design and is versatile in its range of operations. Besides typical applications in the field of recycling and scrap handling, the machine can be equipped with the right attachments to make it ideal for tree maintenance and forestry operations. A real all-rounder.

Above all, the versatility impresses our customer Andreas Mayer. "We chose the LH 26 M because it fits perfectly in our range of operations. We use it for handling old wood, in recycling and in composting as well as for tree felling." The LH 26 M can use a range of different attachment combinations for this work, for example the Liebherr Stick Extension, the Westtech Telescope Stage or the direct mounting of a cutting tool.

Take a look for yourself and see the LH 26 M Industry in operation.

Focus on attachments and quick coupling systems: Essential Liebherr solutions for scrap handling and recycling
Attachments used in scrap handling and recycling must deliver consistently high performance under extreme conditions while meeting dynamic operational requirements.
