Focus on XPower: 7 impressive facts about the powerhouses of the wheel loader family
XPower wheel loaders are the largest and most powerful machines in Liebherr’s wheel loader series. With their impressive combination of innovative machine design and high performance, they are absolute powerhouses. Explore how they stand out with their sturdy lift arm options, powerful split-drive systems, and a wide range of uses. Immerse yourself in the XPower world and find out why they are exceptional in every way.
Powerful and high-performing – XPower wheel loaders from Liebherr.
1. Top-of-the-range powerhouses
XPower wheel loaders, whatever the size, have one thing in common: incredible power. To help you better understand the specifications of the largest in the range, the L 586, here are some size comparisons:
Operating weight: 32,600–33,900 kg -> that’s the same as 5–6 fully grown elephants
Articulated tip load: 19,000–22,500 kg -> that’s about 16 –19 small cars
Bucket capacity: 5.00–8.50 m³ -> comparable to 5–8 large fridges
XPower wheel loaders - efficient machines for a wide range of applications.
2. Highly versatile
With their wide range of attachments, XPower wheel loaders are true all-rounders. Whether on construction sites, in the extraction industry, in scrap and timber handling, in waste management or even in tunnel construction – XPower wheel loaders are highly versatile and can handle any challenge.
Sturdy designs and robust steel components ensure reliable, high-performance machines.
3. Robust and durable
Specially developed components of our wheel loaders feature sophisticated technology and durability. The individual elements are perfectly coordinated for maximum performance. The robust steel construction, strong axles and high-quality hydraulic components ensure that XPower wheel loaders work reliably even under extreme conditions.
Z-kinematics and industrial lift arms are each available in standard or high-lift versions.
4. Powerful lift arm variants
Liebherr provides the perfect lift arms for every application:
Z-bar kinematics are ideal for fast and efficient bucket filling in standard wheel loader operation, offering exceptional power in the lower section of the lift arms.
For industrial tasks involving heavy loads and large equipment, like high-tip buckets or log grapples, industrial lift arms are the optimal choice as they ensure a high torque in the upper area of the lift arms.
High fuel savings thanks to the XPower drive system with Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE).
5. Fuel efficiency
The XPower drive system with Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE) ensures significant fuel savings. LPE optimises the interaction of the diesel engine, transmission and working hydraulics for maximum efficiency. At the same time, the smart machine concept ensures minimal tyre and brake wear.
The intelligent assistance systems for Liebherr help operators in their daily work.
6. Intelligent assistant systems
XPower wheel loaders can be optionally equipped with various assistance systems, such as active personnel detection or the weighing system with “Truck Payload Assist”. These and other innovative solutions optimise safety and comfort and increase performance.
Here are the five most popular wheel loader assistance systems at a glance.
The innovative XPower drive combines the best features of two types of drive to create a unique machine concept.
7. Power-split drive system as standard
The innovative XPower drive system integrates hydrostatic and mechanical drives. The interaction of these drive types adapts automatically and continuously to the respective application. The result: XPower wheel loaders deliver the highest efficiency in material handling and transport, along with optimal acceleration and maximum performance in all loading tasks.
