Tradition and innovation: Wheel loaders encompass decades of experience

The L 580 XPower wheel loader.
Liebherr wheel loaders encompass over 50 years of experience and a high degree of expert knowledge in development, design, and manufacture. Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH is well-known for its continuous innovations. One example of the company's innovative strength is the XPower wheel loaders for which the designers in Bischofshofen developed a holistic wheel loader concept, which sets new standards in terms of fuel efficiency, performance, robustness, and comfort. The core feature of the XPower wheel loader is its innovative power-split travel drive, which allows operators to save up to 30 percent of fuel.

The wheel loaders of Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH

Quality assurance with the wheel loader chassis dynamometer.
The wheel loader product range is constantly evolving in anticipation of the increasing demands of our global customer base. Liebherr wheel loaders come in four size categories: compact loaders, stereo loaders, mid-sized wheel loaders and XPower wheel loaders. These reliable and efficient machines impress with their high productivity and diversity. The modern design of the wheel loader is made to be comfortable, safe, and easy to service, right down to the finest detail.
Compact loaders
These versatile compact loaders are ideal for a range of applications. In particular for road construction, sewage work, horticulture and landscaping and local authorities and municipalities. The compact design proves its practicality on a daily basis: The low height and the lightweight design of the compact loader enable the operator to transport the machines quickly and simply from one site to another. The transparent cab offers the machine driver a good all-round view which increases safety in the immediate vicinity of the wheel loader.
Stereo loaders
The robust stereo loaders are characterized by their unique stereo steering system which makes these machines particularly agile. This is an advantage primarily on construction sites with restricted space, for example in cities. Narrow entrances and lanes, such as in the case of outdoor facilities of public buildings or in gardens, are not an obstacle. With their tight articulation angle of only 30 degrees these stereo loaders can move exceptionally heavy payloads with maximum stability and tipping safety.
Mid-sized wheel loaders
The L 526, L 538 and L 546 wheel loaders are convincing in all areas. With their optimised Z-bar kinematics, they create unlimited application possibilities with increased productivity. In combination with the proven Liebherr travel driveline and the impressive selection of larger standard buckets, the range of applications is taken to a new level.
XPower wheel loaders
XPower is an innovative machine concept which combines performance, fuel efficiency, robustness and comfort. With their power split driveline, XPower wheel loaders work with the greatest level of efficiency in all applications. The environmentally friendly Liebherr-XPower travel drive lowers fuel consumption considerably. XPower wheel loaders are available in countries with strict emission regulations.
