Material handling machines

Mobile material handling machines

Material handlers with wheeled undercarriages are characterised by high flexibility and exceptional mobility. Ideal for demanding tasks where both heavy loads have to be handled and long distances have to be travelled. The choice of different tyres means that the optimum tyres can be selected for the respective operating conditions. In combination with various stabiliser variants, they not only offer excellent stability, but also impressive loads and reach. The precise steering and high working comfort round off the outstanding performance.

Attachments for material handlers

Liebherr develops and manufactures innovative attachments and quick-coupling systems to the highest quality standards. The choice of the right attachment has a decisive influence on the success of a project. Practical experience and continuous development ensure that Liebherr attachments are always state of the art.

Quick coupling systems

Liebherr has developed the MH 40B Solidlink and MH 110B Solidlink quick-change systems for replacing suspended working tools from the cab in a matter of seconds. During the coupling process, all hydraulic and electric lines are connected or disconnected at the push of a button. This allows the working tool to be quickly and flexibly adapted to the material to be handled. This increases the productivity and efficiency of the handling machine enormously.

Multi-tine grapples

Liebherr multi-tine grapples are designed and built for tough scrap handling. The four different shell shapes, specially designed for the nature of the scrap, ensure optimum penetration and safe gripping of the scrap. Depending on the machine size, material shape and composition, four- or five-shell grabs are also available. A robust yet lightweight design ensures a long service life in this tough operation.

Clamshell buckets

Clamshell buckets ensure economical handling of bulk materials of all kinds. For coarse-grained bulk material or light material, the grapple can be equipped with bulk trays, while for solidified materials, such as frozen coal, grapple trays with teeth are available. Due to the high filling level, the optimal shaping of the trays and the low curb weight, highest productivity is guaranteed. The right clamshell grab with a variety of options is available for every handling machine.

Sorting grapples

The sorting grapple is the classic tool for use in recycling and sorting operations. The grapples are designed for effective loading, feeding of sorting, shredding and processing plants as well as for sensitive and precise separation of recyclable materials. Depending on the machine type, application and material, there is a choice of four different sizes, each with three shell versions.

Wood grapples

The wood grapples are the tailor-made solution for effective timber handling. Various grapple shapes ensure fast and safe transport or handling in timber yards, sawmills or in industry. The grapples are developed for a wide range of quantities and types of timber. Wood moving and handling machines and LogHandlers can be equipped with Liebherr wood grapples.

We let deeds speak for themselves and present our material handlers in action at the customer's site. Convince yourself of the massive handling capacity and the limitless application possibilities in the various industries.

We decided in favour of the LH 26 M because it fits perfectly into our range of services. We use the material handling machine for waste wood processing, recycling and composting. It is also used from time to time for tree felling work.
