Liebherr at CONEXPO-CON/AGG

At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2011 exhibition in Las Vegas, Liebherr will be displaying 23 exhibits representing the latest technology from the vast range of the Group’s construction equipment range.

Liebherr will display no less than six hydraulic excavators, four wheel loaders, three crawler loaders and tractors, two deep foundation machines, two tower cranes as well as four mobile and crawler cranes. Each of these Liebherr construction equipment product lines will be represented by a range of equipment that differs in size and application configuration. The lineup includes new product launches for the U.S. market including a prize-winning material handler, the first Liebherr articulated dump truck and the spectacular new design for a fast erecting crane.

Specially designed for bulk material handling, the 135 t LH 120 C is the first of a new line of material handlers to be added to Liebherr’s extensive range. The Liebherr LH 120 C won the 2010 Bauma Innovation Prize in the “Design” category.

The Generation 6 crawler excavators set new standards in their category. At CONEXPO-CON/AGG this new range is represented by the R 916 Advanced model.

The flagship of the Liebherr crawler tractor product range is the 50 t PR 764 Litronic. All dozers from Liebherr feature a hydrostatic travel drive. The powerful Liebherr diesel engine, combined with Liebherr’s innovative driveline, produces exceptional power for every working condition.

Another flagship on display at CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the L 586 wheel loader. With a tipping load of 20,430 kg, a 340 hp engine and an operating weight of 31 t, the L 586 is the largest hydrostatically powered wheel loader in the world.
The new Liebherr LTR 1060 combines the advantages of a telescopic crane with those of a crawler crane. With its 40 m telescopic boom, the new 60-tonner goes beyond the telescopic crawler cranes currently available in this size class both with regard to load capacity as well as its boom length.

Liebherr is presenting the new 350 t LTM 1350-6.1 mobile crane. Also at CONEXPO-CON/AGG, is the all-terrain, four-axle LTM 1070-4.2 crane, the U.S. premiere of the new 81 K fast-erecting crane, and the U.S. market introduction of the Liebherr range of Flat-Top cranes.
