Liebherr's dedication to the U.S. market extends beyond manufacturing as we are deeply committed to supporting local communities and promoting sustainable practices within the construction industry."
Liebherr Innovations
Liebherr's participation in the Celebration of Construction on the National Mall will feature some of the latest advancements in construction technology and attendees will have the opportunity to see teh equipment firsthand. Each of these machines, the LRT 1090-2.1 rough-terrain crane, the 42 M5 XXT truck-mounted concrete pump and the L 546 wheel loader, are used in a wide array of applications and can be found on many construction sites throughout the country, according to Liebherr.
The LRT 1090-2.1 rough-terrain crane is designed with safety in mind. It is fitted standard with an outrigger monitor, which automatically detects the support status and includes it in the crane control system. Additional safety features are provided by the VarioBase variable support base enhancing flexibility on site and increasing the crane's lifting capacity.
In addition, the telescopic boom on the rough-terrain crane features time-tested rope pull technology. This telescoping technology enables the boom to be extended quickly to any length using a two-stage hydraulic cylinder with a rope extension mechanism.
The 42 M5 XXT truck-mounted concrete pump offers a five-part multi-fold distributor boom and XXT outrigger supports. The pivoting XXT support provides the pump versatility and flexibility when working on tight or narrow job sites, according to Liebherr.
In addition, the pump is equipped with powerbloc, Liebherr's latest drive unit for concrete pumps that does not require a separate control block. The pump also comes equipped with semi-closed oil circuit HCC which guarantees all drives are supplied with reliable hydraulic power, keeping jobs on time and reducing overall costs, according to Liebherr.
The L 546 wheel loader provides performance for the mid-size range. This machine offers new, optimized Z bar linkage, 20 percent more breakout force, as well as faster tilt movement and cycle times providing more power for tough operations.
The L 546 also offers fuel efficient performance with Liebherr-power efficiency, a higher engine output and hydrostatic travel drive. With multiple assistance systems optionally available, the L546 is an excellent option for various applications. These innovations enhance productivity and efficiency on construction sites, reducing project timelines and costs, according to Liebherr.
