Liebherr Wheel Loader L 550: Greatest Level of Efficiency in All Applications

The Liebherr wheel loader L 550 on display is powered by a 140 kW / 190 HP diesel engine. Equipped with a 3-5-m³ bucket the wheel loader achieves a tipping load of 12,100 kg at an operating weight of 17,400 kg. Its exhaust emissions are below the limits of the Chinese regulation GOU III and Stage II / Tier 2. The optimum weight distribution combined with a wide range of attachments for different applications supports businesses to benefit from increased productivity during daily operation. This is made possible in particular by using larger buckets compared to other type of wheel loaders in the same class.

Based on decades of experience in developing and producing wheel loaders, Liebherr manufactures wheel loaders for the Chinese market in Dalian, P. R. China, in close cooperation with the Liebherr wheel loader competence centre in Bischofshofen, Austria. Liebherr manufactures five wheel loader models at the Dalian site, the L 580, L 566, L 550 and the two all-round wheel loaders L 538 and L 524. Liebherr wheel loaders are robust machines with the high performance and the low operating costs for which Liebherr is well-known.

Hydrostatic driveline: Reduced fuel consumption and increased safety at work

Liebherr has been promoting the development of wheel loaders with low fuel consumption for decades. Due to Liebherr’s hydrostatic driveline, Liebherr wheel loaders require on average up to 25 percent less diesel compared with other wheel loaders of the same size.

The combination of the hydrostatic travel drive and the special mounting position of the diesel engine enables movement of high load-weights. Hydraulic braking action of the hydrostatic driveline increases safety at work. Designed according to the company’s high quality standards, the L 550 wheel loader operates reliably – even in the toughest conditions.
