9 must-see giants at Liebherr’s booth at Bauma

The mobile and crawler cranes area is hosting one of the largest exhibits on show anywhere at Bauma: the LG 1800-1.0 lattice boom crane This combines the advantages of a mobile crane with the load capacity of a lattice boom crane. At the exhibition, it is fitted with a 102 metre long boom, making it a real head-turner. As one of the world’s strongest lattice boom cranes on wheels, the LG 1800-1.0 lifts up to 800 tonnes – meaning it can do just as much as its crawler crane counterpart, the LR 1800-1.0. The LG 1800-1.0 has state-of-the-art crane technologies at its disposal for this, such as V-Frame®, VarioTray®, the ZF Traxon Torque transmission as well as ECOdrive and WindSpeed load charts.

An impressive machine on the Liebherr booth is the autonomous, battery-electric T 264 mining truck, which demonstrates the successful collaboration between Liebherr and Fortescue and the seamless integration of autonomy with zero emission solutions. Equipped with a 3.2 MW battery power module developed by Fortescue Zero, the truck supports both static and dynamic charging, with demonstrations planned for Bauma. The fast-charging solution delivers up to 6 MW, enabling the T 264 to fully charge under an hour. Additionally, the truck is controlled by a Fleet Management System (FMS), which incorporates an Energy Management System designed to optimise charging efficiency and eliminate on-site queuing.

In the outdoor area for the concrete technology product segment, Liebherr is showcasing the new Mobilmix series to the public for the first time. And, at Bauma, you can even discover the largest variant, with a 4 m³ twin-shaft mixer. This modular construction system gives customers more freedom in plant configuration, as well as shorter delivery times, faster assembly and high parts availability. By using LiPerformance process optimisation, power consumption can be reduced by approx. 25 %. The precise dosing of cement is another outstanding feature of the new Liebherr concrete mixing plants, which can save up to 8 kg of cement per cubic metre of concrete.

Probably the tallest exhibit on Liebherr Square, the LR 1400.1 SX. The crawler crane with derrick equipment and suspended counterweight is designed for heavy lifting operations and long boom configurations. The suspended counterweight consists of a main and an additional counterweight, and can be adjusted using an infinitely variable hydraulic extension device. VarioTray allows additional counterweight to be flexibly increased or reduced with 10.1 tonne counterweight slabs depending on the requirements – without an auxiliary crane. Monitoring the position of suspended counterweight ensures maximum safety during operation. If the counterweight is set down on the ground, it is not possible to turn or travel with the crane, or to move the counterweight.

The R 998 SME crawler excavator is the largest machine developed and produced by Liebherr-France SAS in Colmar, France. With an operating weight of over 100 tonnes and an output of 420 kW / 571 hp, this crawler excavator is suitable for the most demanding applications. At the Liebherr booth at Bauma, the R 998 SME can be found in a customer-specific colour and with a special configuration for use in the demolition sector.
