Systems and solutions

Liebherr is your one-stop source of system solutions for countless applications in electrical and hydraulic drive and control technology. Our experts guarantee the optimal match-up of all drive components. Whether for machinery and plant engineering, for example, or the offshore and wind industries, Liebherr can draw on many years of experience in the design of system solutions for a wide range of end devices. On this basis we devise systems that are specifically designed for a given application and customer requirement, such as with regard to optimising efficiency, space constraints or costs, and offer a one-stop source for all this.

Wind-assisted propulsion

Liebherr provides a comprehensive solution that includes all essential components for wind-assisted propulsion: Slewing drives, slewing bearings and hydraulic cylinders. In the development of these components, Liebherr benefits from its many years of experience in the manufacture of offshore cranes and its expertise in offshore wind turbines.

Application-specific system solutions

Whether for a hydraulic or electrical drivetrain, Liebherr's application-specific solutions are always focused on optimising customer benefits. Our experienced engineers and designers are on the leading edge of technological developments and create innovative solutions for your applications.

Optimized drivetrains: Liebherr develops and supplies application-specific solutions for diesel-electric and diesel-hydraulic drivetrains, from a single source. We always focus especially on optimizing performance, handling and energy efficiency. To this end, our experts assess existing systems through field measurements and simulations. This basis is then used, in close collaboration with our customers, to come up with new concepts. These are simulated under boundary conditions as close to reality as possible.

Electrification in the spotlight

Electrification is the current buzzword when it comes to future development of mobile machinery. Emission-free construction sites are not currently economically viable on account of the associated extra costs, but they could – maybe even in the near future – become imposed by legislation.

Liebherr is truly on the forefront when it comes to switching to alternative drive methods. We are developing the corresponding technology and also the appropriate systems for electrical construction machinery drivetrains.
