Environmental protection can help you earn money!
The Liebherr Standard Consumption Test –
easy to reproduce and practical.
The test consits on determining the number of loading cycles that can
be carried out with 1.3 gal of diesel. The material is taken from pile
A and carried over a distance of 65’7” 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 8’2”. The working cycles continue until the
1.3 gal of diesel in the external measuring tank have been used up. The
loader’s fuel consumption per operating hour is calculated as follows:
