Liebherr at Pollutec 2023

From October 10th to 13th, Liebherr will once again have a booth at the 2023 edition of the Pollutec trade fair in Lyon, France. At the entrance of hall 3, dedicated to recycling (material and material reuse), the Liebherr stand (Aisle E, No. 108) promises to display new innovations and products from the earthmoving and handling sectors.

One of the innovations presented by Liebherr is the L 507 E battery-electric wheel loader. It is the first electrified wheel loader from the Liebherr Group. The wheel loader combines the proven advantages of a Liebherr stereo loader with a battery-electric drive system developed by Liebherr. The L 507 E is said to deliver the same performance as a conventional wheel loader in the same class, with no local CO2 emissions. What’s more, the new wheel loader’s low noise emissions make it ideal for use in areas where low noise and exhaust levels are particularly important, such as city streets or inside a building.

Smart telehandlers
At Pollutec 2023, Liebherr is set to exhibit the T 55-7s telescopic handler for recycling applications and industrial materials handling. Apart from its continuously variable hydrostatic drive and the high-performance hydraulics, Liebherr telescopic handlers feature intelligent assistance systems such as EcoMotion, MultiMotion and Load Moment Plus. Advanced safety features such as intervening overload warning device and Auto Hill Assist support demanding tasks.

The total of three telescopic handlers for industrial applications are powered by a powerful diesel engine (T 46-7s 105kW/136bhp, T 55-7s 115kW/156bhp, T 60-9s 115kW/156bhp). Exhaust gases are retreated through a combination of diesel oxidisation catalyst (DOC) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Liebherr telescopic handlers can be operated using HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) or biofuel, enabling the utilisation of a renewable fuel source while maintaining both performance and efficiency.

LH 26 M Industry E
This year, Liebherr will also present the cable-connected Liebherr electric material handler LH 26 M Industry E. For temporary, mains-independent operation, the machine can be optionally equipped with a battery-powered Mobility Kit. The new Liebherr electric material handling machine is ideal for use in the recycling industry.

The configuration for the exhibition at pollutec also includes a straight 6.60m-long boom and a 4.50m-long stick with tilt kinematics. The equipment also includes the Liebherr SG 25 sorting grapple with a capacity of 0.75m³ and 1,000mm wide, perforated tongs. This machine also includes a hydraulic, infinitely height-adjustable cab. The cable routing is provided via a cable winding system, which allows the machine to be moved safely within a working radius of 40m, or more on request.
