Solution
The L 542 also features the hydrostatic travel drive which has
proved so successful in Liebherr wheel loaders. It enables
the Liebherr diesel engine to be installed in the best possible
position. By comparison to rival machines, this unit also arrives
with a lower net weight and a high tipping load since the diesel
engine is used as a natural counterweight. Compared to
machines form other manufacturers, this represents a reduction
in fuel consumption of more than 30%.
Stefan Böhme, manager of the recycling company, also
highlights another positive effect. ”The hydrostatic travel drive
also makes for minimum braking and tire wear due to its infinite
traction force control. Despite the very demanding work, the
tires have suffered very little wear at all.” The wheel loaders are fitted with a P-kinematic ”High Lift” arm
which, when combined with the high-tip bucket, enables the
material load to be loaded into the ”walking floor” trailer at a
height of over four meters. The high-tip function also allows
the loaded materials to be compacted on the ”walking floor”.
The L 524 and L 542 models achieve a greater emptying height
compared to rival wheel loaders with a similar tipping load. The
rapid change system allows the operator to select a bucket
suitable for the material.
Liebherr wheel loaders also score heavily in terms of service
and maintenance. The installation position of the cooling
system is particularly advantageous for jobs in dusty and dirty
environments. The cooling system is immediately behind the
driver’s cab and ensures that it only draws in air with a low dust
content. This ensures that the cooling system becomes less
contaminated, thus reduce the maintenance and cleaning work.
The dust filter also prevents drawing in fluff and dust particles
in advance. Since the fan also has to be cleaned after a certain
length of time, the machine was also fitted with a reversible fan
drive unit.
