Performance
These new electric Material Handlers have been designed
to meet the specifi c needs of industrial handling. A wide
range of equipment and uppercarriages optimized for
long working radius provide the ideal answer to all the
demands which arise in the industry.
The performance of the kinematic chain formed from com-
ponents from our in-house production, combined with the
power of the electric motor, maximize the performance of
the machine when it comes to lifting power, precision, and
speed of operation.
Reliability
Backed by more than 30 years experience in the con-
struction of electric excavators, Liebherr designed the
new EP 934 C, EP 944 C and EP 954 C with the aim of
providing top performance whatever the challenge might
be. The structure of the machine, using components from
our own manufacture for the electric drive, has been com-
pletely rethought, and so moves away from simply being
an adaptation of a diesel-engine machine.
Being intended for key functions in the organization of in-
dustrial sites, Liebherr electric Material Handlers provide
a very high level of reliability. The service life of the hy-
draulic components has also been increased, thanks to
the smoother movement of the electric drive.
The concept of the single actuator (one single electric mo-
tor for all the hydraulic functions) allows for the risk area
associated with the low voltage at the electric cabinet to
be reduced even further.
Comfort
Helping the operator to concentrate on his work and get
the best out of his machine is achieved by providing a
comfortable driving position, good visibility, and a highly
ergonomic layout of the controls. The new electric Mate-
rial Handlers offer the same level of comfort as on the
mobile excavators (arrangement of the controls, driver’s
seat, climate control, large window areas, etc.). The elec-
tric motor system adds a further layer of comfort thanks
to the low noise emissions and absence of vibration.
For Liebherr, comfort also means ease of daily mainte-
nance of the machine in terms of access to the service
and inspection points, so as to minimize downtime.
Economy
Investing in the acquisition of an electric Material Han-
dler is a great long-term advantage. Constant increases
in the costs of conventional energy sources are pushing
up operating charges, and reducing profi t margins con-
siderably. Environmental criteria, in particular CO
2
emis-
sions, are also playing a constantly greater part in the
choice of power systems and working methods. With the
electric drive, Liebherr offers an economical alternative to
conventional diesel-engine machines, and a solution with
real respect for the environment.
