L 580 XPower wheel loader

Designed with the customer in mind. The XPower line of Liebherr wheel loaders incorporate a power-split transmission. This innovative travel drive provides maximum fuel-efficiency, reducing operating costs and environmental impact while delivering maximum performance. The XPower travel drive, in combination with the automatic self-locking differential, provides excellent traction and prevents the wheels from spinning. Productivity increases and tire wear is reduced.

Performance data of the L 580 XPower wheel loader

• Model: L 580 XPower
• Tipping load: 42,330 lbs.
• Bucket capacity: 6.8 y3
• Operating weight: 60,955 lbs.
• Engine power: 233 kW / 312 hp

Liebherr offers powerful wheel loaders in all size categories. With operating weights ranging from 29,000 lbs. to 72,000 lbs., these machines can handle a variety of materials. Equipped with robust lift arm variants and industry-specific attachments, the wheel loaders are versatile and can be used for a multitude of job applications. These machines also offer optional assistance systems to support the operator’s daily work and job site safety precautions including active personnel selection, joystick teering system, and tire pressure monitoring.

TA 230 articulated dump truck

The TA 230 articulated dump truck was developed for rugged off-road use. Its efficient drivetrain, permanent 6 x 6 all-wheel drive, reliable traction control and solid axle mounts enable the Liebherr dump truck to tackle any terrain. This means it can produce incredibly fast cycle times – regardless of whether it is on a large construction site, in a quarry or in a tunnel. The TA 230 was also designed for easy maintenance. A smart machine check-up and unhindered access to the entire engine bay minimizes daily maintenance work.

Performance data of the TA 230 articulated dump truck

• Model: TA 230
• Payload: 61,700 lbs.
• Dump body capacity: 23.7 y3
• Operating weight: 54,200 lbs.
• Engine power: 265 kW / 355 hp

The new TA 230 ADT comes standard with a powerful 6-cylinder engine with a displacement of 732 in³ (12 liters) and 355 hp / 265 kW comes standard in the TA 230 Litronic and is Tier 4f compliant. A robust and powerful drivetrain with automatic 8-speed powershift transmission ensures optimal force distribution. With the actively controlled longitudinal differential locks, automatic traction control is also available for the TA 230 Litronic. As soon as a slip occurs at an axle, the torque is transferred to the axle or axles with traction. The Liebherr articulated truck offers excellent driving performance and pulling force, even on the most challenging terrain.

R 914 compact crawler excavator

The smallest Liebherr crawler excavator, the R 914 Compact, features a powerful diesel engine and particularly high break-out forces. The extraordinary sensitivity of the hydraulic system enables the driver to work with precision at high speeds, even when moving. And a short rear slewing radius of just 1.55 m delivers greater safety for both operator and machine.
