Liebherr will display multiple machines at their booth including the LH 40 M Industry material handler, L 550 XPower wheel loader, and R 922 powerhand crawler excavator.

Liebherr experts also will be on site at booth #A4 to answer any questions and provide assistance with equipment.

ReMA is the largest gathering of recycled materials industry professionals in the world, bringing together more than 7,000 individuals to gain knowledge, network and grow as scrap experts.

Liebherr offers scrap machines that are strong, reliable and designed for high performance and maximum efficiency in the industrial material handling. This is accomplished through production of its high-quality components. The demands of industrial material handling are taken into account during the development stage of these components and well-prepared Liebherr specialized machines for any application. Whether loading, unloading or sorting out different kinds of scrap, steel and metals, the Liebherr specialized machines are ideal for operationally effective material handling, according to Liebherr.

LH 40 M Industry Material Handler

The LH 40 M Industry is considered a top performer in its class. With the patented ERC System (energy recovery system), the maximum handling capacity is guaranteed while lowering the overall fuel consumption. This enables a more powerful machine with faster work cycles. The attachment of the machine is available in a variety of versions and is always optimally matched to your respective application including scrap, waste and recycling, according to Liebherr.

Performance data

Model: LH 40 M

System performance: 211 hp

Operating weight: 85,000 lbs.

Reach: 47 ft.

Grapple: 1.4 cu. yds.

Magnet: 57

Eye level: 18 ft.

Performance is extremely important in handling scrap materials. Whether sorting out mixed scrap material, loading and unloading HGVs and ships or loading shredders, shears and press plants, the Liebherr material handling machines are designed for the highest performance in a variety of work applications. High lift capacities and fast work cycles are essential for efficient handling operations. The optimum interplay between the hydraulics and electronics guarantees powerful, fast movements during handling while working with precision on challenging sorting tasks, according to Liebherr.

L 550 XPower Wheel Loader

The high-performance Liebherr XPower wheel loaders can handle a wide range of materials including scrap. With strong lift arm variants and application-specific attachments, they are versatile and universally deployable.

Performance data

Model: L 550 XPower

Engine power: 219 hp / 163 kW

Bucket capacity: 4.5 cu. yds.

Operating weight: 40,895 lbs.

Breakout force: 37,095 lbs.

Tipping Load: 27,560 lbs.

In addition to the different types of machines, customers can choose between industrial and z-bar kinematics within the L 550 – L 566 XPower wheel loaders and the L 580 XPower. This means the right machine is always available for specific operations such as transporting and loading steel and metal scrap or loading the shredder systems. This increases the use of the machine and increases productivity by keeping job sites on time and within budget, according to Liebherr.

R 922 Powerhand Crawler Excavator

The R 922 crawler excavator showcases a completely updated design with characteristics of Liebherr Gen. 8 machines providing even greater comfort, better ergonomics and more enhanced performance, according to Liebherr.

The benefits of using a R 922 from Liebherr is that the machine comes preprogrammed from the factory to control the unit and the clamp functions are controlled by the joystick and not foot pedals, making it easier for the operator to control, according to Liebherr.

The Powerhand VRS 200 (Vehicle Recovery System) enables customers to get the maximum value out of their junk car before they are scrapped. Traditional manual methods of removing and separating high value materials from recycled vehicles are labor intensive and costly. Liebherr is able to equip the R 922 excavators with a preparation kit that virtually makes the Powerhand System a plug and play hook up, according to Liebherr.

Performance data

Model: R 922

Engine power: 163 hp / 120 kW

Engine torque: 503 lb.-ft. at 1,400 rpm

Dig depth: 22 ft. 2 in.

Operating weight: 50,930 lbs.

Breakout force: 35,970 lbs.

Liebherr offers a wide range of crawler excavators with operating weights from 50,930 lbs. to 198,640 lbs. Each is designed with one goal in mind, to meet the demands and specifications of our customers in terms of performance, reliability and efficiency as well as safety and comfort, according to Liebherr.
