At IFAT 2016, Liebherr presents the L 546, the largest member of the new mid-size wheel loader range. The new generation of mid-size wheel loaders that fulfills the emissions guidelines of emission stage IV/ Tier 4f had its world premiere at Bauma 2016. With the L 526, L 538 and L 546 wheel loaders, the new range comprises three models that remain true to the reputation of this machine class as powerful and reliable all-rounders. In order to further increase the robustness and durability of these wheel loaders, Liebherr has installed larger axles and reinforced the steel structures. As a result, the new all-round wheel loaders are well-prepared for demanding applications in the recycling industry.

The proven and efficient hydrostatic driveline also impresses with fuel savings of up to 25 per cent in comparison with wheel loaders of the same size class. rom the new range, Liebherr will show the L 546 at IFAT 2016. An efficient, 123kW / 167HP diesel engine powers the wheel loader. The exhibit is equipped with parallel lift arm, the LIKUFIX hydraulic quick hitch system and a high-dump bucket with a capacity of 4.0 m³. The operating weight and tipping load of the L 546 are perfectly balanced: With an operating weight of 15,360 kg the IFAT-exhibit achieves a tipping load of 8,200 kg.

The fact that companies can work productively with Liebherr wheel loaders in the mid-size range is also due to the unique component installation location. Liebherr installs heavy components such as the diesel engine in the rear. The centre of gravity shifts to the rear of the machines. The wheel loaders thus require less additional counterweight and attain higher tipping loads with low operating weight. This means that operators can use larger buckets in everyday operations and hence optimise handling capacity and productivity.
