Liebherr machines for material handling
For 50 years Liebherr has been developing and producing powerful handling machines, rope excavators, reach stackers, wheel loaders, telescopic loaders, graders and crawler loaders for industrial use. Our attachments and customer service successfully complement our product range for handling scrap, timber, waste and bulk material.
The requirements for the various types of handling machine are extremely demanding – they must be particularly robust, powerful, durable and reliable. They must be able to work smoothly and efficiently throughout both day and night.
Continuous development enables Liebherr to satisfy special customer requirements with consummate ease. Hydraulic elevating cabs on handling machines, reinforced P kinematics on wheel loaders and electric drives for cost-efficient machine operation are just a few examples of special configurations for handling goods.
Working with various metals and scrap is a task which demands maximum robustness from handling machines. To deliver maximum performance, scrap handling machines must also be extremely powerful and reliable. Long operating hours and minimal maintenance breaks are important factors to keep scrap handling cost-efficient. Mobile and crawler handling machines are suitable for sorting metal scrap and old iron. Features such as piston rod guards, cab safety grilles and safety glass make Liebherr handling machines safe helpers at scrapyards. Liebherr wheel loaders with parallel kinematics are ideal for loading trucks and feeding shredders.
Liebherr has a wide range of machines for handling goods at ports. They complement the Liebherr maritime crane portfolio for port operations.
Efficiency is the key to success in port handling. The high payloads and long reach of port handling machines ensure fast handling of piece and bulk goods. The “High Rise” model version with its raised tower provides a perfect view of the working area, for example inside a vessel.. A number of boom and stick variations enable you to modify your Liebherr handling machine to suit your individual working area.
There are ever new standards to meet in waste management – especially challenging are noise and emissions limits for machines operating indoors. Liebherr can supply the perfect solutions: Special recycling packages for handling machines, crawler loaders and graders simplify compliance with regulations and deliver reliable protection from dust particles. Furthermore, our electric handling machines can prove extremely beneficial in these situations.
The main jobs of material handling machines in timber yards include sorting tree trunks, feeding sorting systems and loading and unloading trucks and wagons. Liebherr manufactures timber handling machines specially developed for these jobs. The Liebherr LogHandler has a special hoist unit to enable it to pick up tree trunks, and when combined with Liebherr log grapples, they ensure maximum handling capacity. The Timber series of handling machines feature a rigid cab elevation and height adjustable trailer couplings for trailer use. Graders and crawler loaders feature dust filter systems and fire safety equipment to ensure safe timber handling.
Mobile handling machines are extremely versatile and deliver high handling capacity for every type of application. Whether it is sorting recycled materials, recycling metal scrap or timber and port handling, these machines are powerful, economical, easy to service and, above all, reliable. The equipment and attachments on handling machines are available in a very wide range of versions and therefore always perfectly tailored to your individual application.
Crawler handling machines guarantee extraordinarily high capacity through their modern, robust, innovative design. They are effective, powerful, economical and fuel-efficient and also increase handling capacity thanks to featuring the latest engine and hydraulic technology developed by Liebherr. The equipment and attachments on handling machines are available in a very wide range of versions and therefore always perfectly tailored to your individual application.
Liebherr reach stackers deliver a wide range of highly efficient innovations, a comfortable, ergonomic design and some very impressive performance features. That makes them highly versatile handling solutions for all types of terminals.
They can particularly show off their strengths when material handling. Whether that means dredging, operation with a dragline bucket or with a grapple, Liebherr rope excavators are designed specifically for these applications and deliver high handling rates.
The industrial hoist unit on the L 550, L 556, L 566 and L 580 XPower wheel loaders and the parallel kinematics on L 526 – L 546 wheel loader series deliver particularly high torque in the upper hoist unit range, making them the perfect solution for industrial use.
The innovative drive concepts on Liebherr wheel loaders reduce fuel consumption by up to 30%. In addition, they suffer minimal tyre wear and practically no brake wear, whilst delivering maximum handling capacity and efficiency.
Liebherr customers now have an especially versatile machine at their disposal in the form of the L 509 Tele telescopic wheel loader. Liebherr has combined the hoist height and reach of a regular telescopic handler with the productive handling capacity of a classic wheel loader. The new L 509 Tele telescopic wheel loader therefore combines the benefits of two machine classes in a single product. The Speeder version of the Liebherr L 509 stereo loader was used as a basis for the development work. That means that the new telescopic wheel loader features time-tested stereo steering and, thanks to its powerful hydrostatic travel drive, has a standard top speed of 38 km/h. It also meets the requirements of emissions stage V / Tier 4f.
One of the aims in industrial material handling is to maximise the use of storage areas – length times width times height. This is where Liebherr telescopic handlers can prove their strengths as powerful universal machines – fast and manoeuvrable with powerful working hydraulics, for storing large quantities of material right up to the roof.
Power and innovative technology – those are the trademarks of Liebherr graders. Whether they are used for tough ripping work or for transferring large quantities of materials, Liebherr graders are always impressive due to their outstanding performance and economy.
Whether they are used on domestic waste or landfill sites – Liebherr crawler loaders are multi-talented operators during every phase from construction and operation to refurbishment. They can be used to install and pre-compact waste as well as to apply covering layers, for material handling and for various auxiliary jobs.
The sorting grapple is the classic tool for recycling and sorting. The grapples are designed for effective loading and for feeding of sorting, shredding and treatment systems as well as for the delicate, precise separation of materials. There are four different sizes to choose from, each with three shell versions, depending on machine type, job and material.
Liebherr multi-tine grapples have been developed and built for coarse scrap handling. The four different shell shapes specially designed to suit the properties of the specific scrap type ensure excellent penetration and safe handling of the scrap. Four- or five-tine grabs are also available depending on the machine size and the material form and properties. A robust, yet lightweight design ensures a long service life despite the rigours of this work.
Wood grapples are the perfect solution for effective timber handling. Various tong designs ensure fast, safe transport or handling at timber yards, in sawmills or in industry. The grapples have been developed for a wide range of timber quantities and types. Timber transport and handling machines, log handlers and reach stackers can be fitted with Liebherr wood grapples.
Clamshell grabs are perfect for the low cost handling of bulk goods of all types. The clamshell can be fitted with a bulk shell for handling coarse grain, bulk goods or lightweight goods, such as frozen coal, whilst grab shells with teeth are also available. The high fill level and excellent design of the shells and their low net weight ensures maximum productivity. The appropriate clamshell is available for every handling machine with a whole range of options.
Liebherr developed the MH 40B LIKUFIX and MH 110B LIKUFIX quick coupling systems to enable pendulous attachments to be changed in seconds without having to leave the cab. During the coupling process, all hydraulic and electrical lines are connected or disconnected at the touch of a button. This enables the attachment to be tailored to the material for handling quickly and flexibly. This, in turn, massively increases the productivity and economy of the handling machine.
The wide-reeling cable drum ensures that the cable is stored in the right place and safely at all times. This reduces the risk of running over it. The cable drum also delivers increased mobility and therefore ensures longer machine availability.
The machine combines tried and tested technology with a new electric drive concept – low maintenance, low noise and no requirement to comply with emissions standards.
Large coolers with wide mesh deliver excellent cooling performance. The recycling package features a reversible fan and the air conditioning condenser in a separate position to delay the engine and cooler becoming contaminated to ensure high machine availability.
The handling machine can be fitted with an optional working area limit for jobs which require a limited working area. Every possible dimension can be adjusted for this purpose – height, depth, reach and proximity. This can prevent collisions and the resulting component damage.
For Korbinian Dotzauer, the Assistant Plant Manager at Ilim Timber Bavaria in Landsberg am Lech, reliability is the main requirement for all the machines at the plant. The L 580 LogHandler XPower® is used by this long term Liebherr customer for unloading trailers and wagons and for feeding the round timber sorting system on a two-shift basis for around 16 hours per day, seven days a week. As a result of the robust, power-split XPower travel drive and the reinforced special hoist unit, the fuel-efficient L 580 LogHandler XPower® is ideal for meeting the requirements in the timber industry.
