Liebherr has been designing and manufacturing material handlers for over 50 years. The new generation Liebherr material handlers, the LH 24 and LH 26, are high performance economical machines specifically designed for use in resource recovery and scrap recycling.
The optimised design of 110 kW / 115 kW engine supplies a high torque output for fast and strong movements. Load peaks are cleverly compensated for to ensure that maximum torque is available at all times for highest handling capacity.
The intelligent arrangement of the components in the new uppercarriage concept optimises the centre of gravity of the complete machine. This allows greater load capacities while retaining compact dimensions.
The combination of an increased engine output and a higher pump delivery volume guarantees maximum acceleration and speed of working motions.
The well-thought-out machine controls guarantee that the hydraulics are optimally configured for the task at hand. Here, the load sensing control ensures that the flow delivered by the pump is optimally distributed when movements overlap. Speed and power are available whenever they are needed.
The optimal harmonisation between the engine and the control valve allows a fast and direct response from the hydraulics to the input command. This is controlled proportionally to enable smooth and gentle movements to be executed when the joystick is moved.
An essential prerequisite for precise working and maximum handling capacity is the firm and stable positioning of the machine. The design of the Liebherr undercarriage optimises the way forces are induced on components to minimise stress and guarantee maximum stability and durability.
Every day Liebherr material handlers show their qualities in a very wide range of industrial applications all over the world. Years of experience, continuous development and the latest technologies provide maximum safety in use. Their robust, compact design and the use of components produced in-house ensure that the LH 24 and LH 26 material handling machines are designed for a long service life.
The newly designed operator’s work station sets new standards in comfort. The Liebherr deluxe cab is spacious, has an ergonomic design and is very quiet. This ensures that the operator remains fully focused throughout the working day and enables him to deliver a consistently high performance.
