Economy
Compared to conventional transmission systems, the hydrostatic driveline with
Liebherr Power Efficiency achieves a reduction in fuel consumption for wheel
loaders of up to 25%. This reduces operating costs and environmental pollution.
Low operating costs

Minimum costs, Liebherr wheel loaders are unbeatable for economy
High handling capacity compared to conventionally driven wheel loaders.
This is due to the following factors:
− Low fuel consumption thanks to higher efficiency

and low operating weight. Liebherr wheel loaders
use up to 5 litres less fuel per operating hour in
the same working conditions. Thanks to the newly
developed Liebherr Power Efficiency system the
large wheel loaders use the same amount of fuel
compared to their predecessors in the Stage IIIA
generation.
− Hardly any brake wear due to the hydraulic braking

action of the driveline and therefore minimal repair
costs.
− Reduced tyre wear due to continuous traction

control. Depending on the working conditions,
there is up to 25% less wear.
Active environmental protection

Economical use The reduction in fuel lowers emissions, thus actively
of resources protecting resources:
1 litre of fuel produces up to 3 kg of carbon dioxide
(CO2). By saving up to 5 litres per operating hour,
up to 15,000 kg less CO2 is produced in 1,000
operating hours – that means lower costs and active
environmental protection.
Low noise emission The innovative driveline concept means much
lower noise emission – Liebherr wheel loaders are
significantly quieter in operation.

Performance
The Liebherr driveline allows different orientation for the Liebherr diesel engine.
In the wheel loaders L 550 - L 556 the diesel engine is rotated through 90° and
mounted transverse to the direction of travel, in the L 566 - L 580 it is mounted
lengthways in the rear, with the output shaft facing backwards. Compared to
conventionally driven wheel loaders, the operating weight is much lower, the
tipping load is higher, and more material can be moved each operating hour.
Higher performance, lower weight

Higher productivity The combination of the Liebherr driveline and the
unique position of the Liebherr diesel engine allows
higher tipping loads at low operating weight. This
leads to significantly higher productivity, because
there is no need for unnecessary counterweight.
Ultra modern Liebherr driveline

Innovative technology Tractive force and speed are automatically adjusted
to the requirements of the operator without shifting.
There is no need for a mechanical reverse gear
because the travel direction is changed hydraulically.
Flexibility puts them ahead

An all-purpose loader The industrial lift arm is available as an alternative
to the standard Z-bar linkage. The industrial lift
arm features a parallel guide arrangement and
high torque in the upper lifting range - ideal
properties for attaching larger, heavier equipment
and transporting heavy loads. With its industrial
lift arm Liebherr can now offer a continuous and
uniform solution for industrial operations over the
entire range of large machines. With their compact
design, Liebherr wheel loaders can manoeuvre
quickly and efficiently - the best choice for high
handling capacity.

Reliability
All the materials used in Liebherr wheel loaders have passed long term tests
to ensure that they meet Liebherr’s exacting standards in even the toughest
conditions. The mature concept and proven quality make Liebherr wheel
loaders the benchmark of reliability.
Reliable Liebherr driveline

Fewer components The Liebherr driveline includes a self-locking
hydraulic brake, which means the additional wet
brake discs are effectively wear-free. There is no
need for a reversing gear unit – thus minimizing the
number of parts susceptible to wear and tear.
Controlled cooling
The intelligent answer The cooling fan is driven independently from the
Liebherr diesel engine and produces only the cooling
air output which is actually required. Heat sensors
ensure reliable control. If overheating should occur,
the wheel loader automatically shifts down to first
travel speed range. The reduced power consumption
protects the engine from overheating. At the same
time, the fan speed increases to maximum output to
prevent the engine from overheating.
Components meet manufacturer’s quality standards

Everything from Important components such as the engine,
a single source hydraulic rams and electronics are developed
and manufactured by Liebherr. This ensures co-
ordinated quality from the manufacturer down to
the smallest detail. Liebherr components guarantee
maximum performance and reliability.
Optimized engine As well as further developments towards greater
technology environmental compatibility, the new generation
of diesel engines has been optimized in a
number of other respects. In addition to Common
Rail technology a diesel particle filter reduces
pollutant emissions. With active regeneration,
in most operational circumstances this filtration
process can also undergo deposit scavenging,
which means that work can continue without
interruption.

Liebherr control lever
• The Liebherr control lever is used to manage all travel and
working movements of the wheel loader, so that the operator’s
left hand can always remain on the steering wheel. There is no
need to let go of the steering wheel, and this increases safety.
The operator controls the following functions with his right hand:
– Raise and lower attachment

– Tilt and crowd
– Automatic bucket return to dig
– Kick down and Gear hold function
– Auxiliary control buttons for additional hydraulic functions
– Change of travel direction with simultaneous travel start

The ultra modern cab design with advanced ergonomics, continuously variable
Liebherr driveline for uninterrupted tractive force, standard Liebherr ride control,
optimum weight distribution and easy service access thanks to unique engine
installation position lead to extraordinary overall comfort.
Top-class cabin design

Comfort cab The ultra-modern, ergonomically planned cabin
design allows the operator to achieve better
performance and productivity in the greatest
possible comfort. The displays, controls and
operator’s seat are carefully coordinated to form
a perfect ergonomic unit. The newly developed
mounting system substantially reduces noise and
vibration in the cab’s interior.
Liebherr control lever All the working and travel functions are operated
precisely and sensitively from a single control lever.
This ensures accurate and safe handling, and the
left hand always remains on the steering wheel. This
increases safety at the job site.
Liebherr driveline
Continuously variable The Liebherr driveline allows continuous regulation of
transmission acceleration in all speed ranges, without noticeable
gear shifting or interruption in tractive force.
Liebherr Power Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE) optimizes the
Efficiency efficiency and effectiveness of the travel drive,
which places less stress on the components.
The operator actuates the accelerator pedal in
the usual way, and obtains the full desired power
performance. The machine software takes the
electronic signal from the pedal and calculates the
most efficient way of putting the drive command
into practice, by making a proactive intervention
into the engine management system. The usual

Service/Maintenance
LiDAT Fleet and Machine Park Management
Efficient management With LiDAT, Liebherr’s own data transmission and
positioning system, you can manage, monitor and
control your entire fleet efficiently.
LiDAT allows you to access machine data records,
perform data analysis, and review service records
within the fleet management system. All machine data
can be accessed at anytime simply, via the internet.
The system provides you with comprehensive
documentation about operating hours, increased
availability through shorter downtimes, and faster
support from the manufacturer. There is also faster
detection of stress and overloading, which extends
the machine’s service life to provide more efficient
planning for your company. The LiDAT service is
standard for the L 550 - L 580 wheel loaders.
Service accessibility
Easy maintenance With the unique position of the diesel engine, Liebherr
wheel loaders provide outstanding accessibility for
maintenance. The positioning of the cooling system
directly behind the cab results in less contamination,
which in turn reduces maintenance and cleaning;
a clear benefit which saves time and money.
L 550 - L 556 All the maintenance points can be reached from
ground level. The engine cover can be opened
in two stages. Cleaning of the cooling system is
carried out while standing on the machine, anti-slip
step surfaces and strong handrails in the access
area ensure a high standard of safety.
L 566 - L 580 By opening a single engine compartment hood, the
hydraulic pumps, hydraulic tank, hydraulic tank cut-
off valve, air filter, and battery main switch can be
reached easily from ground level. As with previous
models, work on the cooler unit, diesel engine and
pump distributor gear is carried out while standing
on the machine. Great care has been taken to ensure
maximum safety in these areas as well.

The Liebherr Standard Consumption Test –

easy to reproduce and practical.
Every Liebherr dealer will provide you with this measuring-tank kit free
of charge or, on request, will carry out the standard fuel consumption
5 test on your premises. It’s so easy: you simply determine the number
of loading cycles that can be carried out with 5 litres of diesel. The
n=?
B
2,5 m
material is taken from pile A and carried over a distance of 20 metres

35 to point B. The time needed for each working cycle should be
35 seconds. Discharge at point B should take place from a height
4 of 2.5 m. The working cycles continue until the 5 litres of diesel in
the external measuring tank have been used up. The loader’s fuel
30 consumption per operating hour is calculated as follows:
