At outdoor stand FG 809-813 of Bauma 2022 Liebherr is planning a large area for the topics of the two product segments earthmoving and material handling technology. Apart from the impressive live shows, Liebherr presents its new products and highlights in a static exhibition. Here Liebherr shows, e.g., two completely revamped series of Generation 8 in the wheel loaders with the compact loaders and the medium-sized wheel loaders. As a representative of the new Generation 8 crawler excavator, the R 928 will be equipped with a semi-automatic machine control.

In addition, Liebherr presents the A 922 Rail Litronic for the first time at Bauma with a hydrostatic drive concept and new LIKUFIX® quick coupling system, as well as the articulated dump truck TA 230 Litronic, which can also be seen in Munich for the first time on an international trade fair stage.

Liebherr showcases three representatives from the area of material handling technology: The specialist audience can look forward to the LH 22 M Industry Litronic for efficient use in tree care and the timber industry. With the LH 26 M Industry E and LH 150 M Port E Liebherr also shows two electric material handlers for applications in recycling and port handling.

Future-oriented solutions: Alternative drives, digitisation and service

As a continuation of the Bauma showcase in 2019, this year Liebherr provides an insight into Liebherr's work in the area of alternative drive concepts which is open to all types of technology within the framework of live shows taking place several times a day. Practical applications of current and future alternative drive technologies for earthmoving machines and material handling technology are also presented. Practical concepts as well as construction equipment and material handlers which are powered by different primary energy sources such as diesel, HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils), electricity and hydrogen are showcased.

In this context several innovative machines are on show, which highlight the work of alternative concepts: For example, the first battery-electric wheel loader and the first battery-electric telescopic handler of the Liebherr Group. These two Bauma exhibits are near-series pre-production machines. The Liebherr electric material handler LH 26 M Industry E with battery-operated Mobility Kit for temporary operation independent of the mains is also part of the live shows.

In addition to the work on alternative drives, Liebherr also takes its product responsibility very seriously in other areas. The aim is to offer customers safe, efficient and environmentally-friendly products over the long term. This also includes services such as the Reman programme, among other things. Old components are reconditioned to the highest quality standards and at the customer's request can be used for a component exchange instead of a new part – the old part is up to par with a new part in terms of performance and reliability and is also a resource-friendly and at the same time economic alternative.

The areas digitisation and service are another focal point. Together with sales and service partners as well as customers Liebherr continuously develops services and solutions – digitisation plays an increasingly important role here. Apart from the latest developments, existing customer solutions from the areas driver assistance, construction site communication and automated data exchange are also presented. Liebherr cordially invites customers and interested parties to its Bauma stand to discuss ideas and exchange experiences.

The increasing digitisation also makes it possible to be able to make services and solutions even more individual, consistent and transparent. A variety of new, digital solutions are presented at Bauma, with which an increase in efficiency, performance, reliability, safety and comfort can be achieved. For workshop managers performance and maintenance data on the machines will be available in future in the MyLiebherr portal in a clear and concise form and made available for subsequent processes such as maintenance planning and spare parts orders. Liebherr also presents several intelligent assist systems and applications for the increasingly complex requirements of the machine operators: With the MyAssistance for Earthmoving app machine operators obtain relevant information on the operation and maintenance of Liebherr machines. The Remote Service provides optimal support for the daily work of service technicians, which allows construction machines to be serviced at any time and place.

Numerous new features for the Generation 8 Liebherr wheel loaders

Liebherr presents two completely revamped series for the wheel loaders with the compact loaders and the medium-sized wheel loaders. The compact loaders, which includes a new additional model, the L 504 Compact, can be seen for the first time in Germany at a trade fair. Liebherr also showcases the medium-sized wheel loaders to a cross-industry audience for the first time. These new wheel loaders are characterised by a significant performance boost compared to their predecessor models.

The Liebherr compact loaders are represented at Bauma 2022 with the models L 504 Compact and L 508 Compact. The new L 504 Compact is the smallest wheel loader of the Liebherr Group. It embodies the qualities of the larger Liebherr wheel loaders and impresses with a particularly good price-performance ratio. The L 546 model represents the medium-sized wheel loader series at the Liebherr stand. The trade fair exhibit is equipped with numerous intelligent assist systems such as the upgraded, high-performance Skyview camera system or the active person recognition.

Liebherr crawler excavator R 928 with factory-installed machine control from Leica Geosystems

Liebherr-France SAS in Colmar produces the new Generation 8 crawler excavators, among other things. This new generation is primarily characterised by a higher performance as well as increased productivity and comfort for the machine operator. The R 928 crawler excavator also impresses with high traction, outstanding lifting force, as well as a large capacity backhoe bucket. The operating weight of less than 30 tonnes was optimised with the aim of making the transport logistics between the operation sites as easy as possible. The R 928 complements the present range of Liebherr crawler excavators with an additional model between the well-known machines R 926 and R 930.

The R 928 is presented at Bauma with the factory-installed, semi-automatic machine control from Leica Geosystems. This assist system for the machine control is the key for precise and efficient work. The strategic partnership between Liebherr and Leica Geosystems announced in March 2020 makes it possible to make available the know-how of both companies to customers and provide even more advanced and reliable solutions. Factory-installed 2D and 3D machine controls are available in future for Generation 6 and 8  Liebherr crawler excavators and wheeled excavators as optional equipment.
