Economy
The Liebherr driveline combined with low operating weight and high tipping
load results in up to 25 % less fuel consumption compared with conventionally
driven wheel loaders. Up to 5 litres of fuel per operating hour can be saved,
which means lower operating costs and an active protection of the environment
at the same time.
Low operating costs

Minimum costs, When it comes to economy, conventional wheel
high handling capacity loaders are no match for Liebherr machines, mainly
due to the following factors:
− Low fuel consumption as a result of higher ef-

ficiency and a lower operating weight. The Lie-
bherr wheel loader’s fuel consumption is up to
5 litres per operating hour lower than a con-
ventional wheel loader under the same working
conditions.
− Virtually no brake wear, thanks to the hydraulic

braking action of the driveline. This means no
brake repair costs resulting from wear and tear.
− Continuous traction control for reduced tyre

wear. Depending on the working conditions,
tyre wear can be up to 25 % lower than with
conventional wheel loaders.
Active environmental protection

Economical use Reduced fuel consumption means lower emis-
of resources sions, which leads to the active and economical
use of resources.
During combustion, 1 litre of diesel produces up to
3 kg of CO2. A saving of 5 litres of fuel per operat-
ing hour translates into a 15,000-kilogram reduc-
tion in CO2 emissions over a period of 1,000 oper-
ating hours, for example. The result: reduced fuel
costs and active protection of the environment.
Low noise emissions The innovative driveline concept also cuts noise
emissions considerably: Liebherr wheel loaders
are significantly quieter in operation.

Performance
The Liebherr driveline enables the Liebherr diesel engine to be installed in the
ideal position. For this class of wheel loader, it is transversely mounted at the
rear. This greatly increases the tipping load and the handling capacity per oper-
ating hour at a lower operating weight than conventional wheel loaders.
Higher performance, lower weight

Higher productivity, Liebherr’s driveline enables the Liebherr diesel en-
lower operating weight gine to be installed transversely at the rear of the
wheel loader. This increases the tipping load while
keeping the operating weight low. Productivity is
greatly increased because no unnecessary coun-
terweight has to be carried on the machine.
Ultra-modern Liebherr driveline

Innovative Liebherr Allround wheel loaders are equipped with
technology a “2plus1” gearbox. Tractive force and speed are
adapted to suit demand – automatically and with-
out gear changes. Even the change from forward
to reverse travel is controlled hydraulically, so that
no mechanical reverse gear is required.
Flexibility puts them ahead

An all-purpose loader The Allround wheel loader models can be supplied
with either a parallel or a Z-pattern linkage. This
gives them the ideal equipment for tackling a va-
riety of tasks. Their compact design allows these
wheel loaders to manoeuvre quickly and efficiently
– an ideal basis for high handling capacity.

Liebherr driveline
• The Liebherr driveline consists of two
hydraulic motors, which accelerate the
loader continuously from a standstill to
maximum speed, either forwards or in
reverse – without a manual gear shift and
a reversing gear unit.

Reliability
All the materials used have passed long-time tests to ensure that they comply
with Liebherr’s high quality standards in even the toughest conditions. A so-
phisticated concept and proven quality mean that Liebherr wheel loaders set
the standard when it comes to reliability.
Reliable Liebherr driveline

Fewer components Liebherr’s driveline includes a self-locking hydrau-
lic brake, with the result that the additional wet
brake discs are effectively wear-free. A reversing
gear unit is not required, thereby reducing the
number of components susceptible to wear.
Controlled cooling
The intelligent answer The cooling fan is not driven directly from the Lie-
bherr diesel engine, and produces only the cool-
ing air output that is needed at any given moment.
Heat sensors control its operating speed, and if
overheating should occur, the wheel loader shifts
down automatically to the lowest travel speed
range.
Since less power is then consumed, the Liebherr

diesel engine is better protected against overheat-
ing. At the same time, the fan speed is increased
to the maximum value, for the best possible pro-
tection of all components.
Components to the manufacturer’s

quality standards

a single source draulic rams and electronics are manufactured by

Liebherr control lever
• The Liebherr control lever is used to manage all the machine’s
travel and working movements. The operator’s left hand can
remain on the steering wheel at all times without having to
reach for other control levers – a valuable safety feature. The
operator controls the following functions with his right hand:
– Raise and lower attachment
– Fill and dump the bucket
– Automatic bucket repositioning
– Change of travel direction with simultaneous
travel start
– Controls for additional hydraulic functions

gine for excellent maintenance access lead to unequalled overall comfort.
Top-class cabin design

Comfort cabin This ultra-modern, ergonomically planned cabin
design is the basis for increased performance and
productivity of the operator. The displays, controls
and driver’s seat are carefully coordinated to form
a perfect ergonomic unit.
Liebherr control lever All working and travel functions are operated pre-
cisely and sensitively from a single control lever.
This means accurate and safe handling, and the
left hand always remains on the steering wheel.
This increases the safety at the job site.

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 of
4 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 con-
30 sumption per operating hour is calculated as follows:
