Based on the proven LGG 280 generating grinding machine, Liebherr is presenting the larger LGG 400 M model at IMTS in Chicago.
Liebherr has met the needs of automation customers with the PHS Allround: The compact class for universal users has been in great demand. Alongside the current PHS 1500 Allround version, Liebherr has announced two more sizes - the 800 and 3000.
