Liebherr’s innovative autonomous wheeled loader and remote control dozer

Liebherr is demonstrating its innovative autonomous wheeled loader concept as well as a novel remote control dozer package.

The highly advanced autonomous driving system for wheeled loaders is called the Liebherr Autonomous Operations and has been developed in-house.

This autonomous solution allows machines to work without an operator in the cab. The system can be used in areas that would be dangerous for an operator, such as close to a high rock face in an extraction operation for example. The package uses an array of sensors and guidance systems to ensure that the machine can operate quickly and efficiently throughout the working day, without reducing productivity due to operator fatigue. Safety technology ensures that there is no risk to site personnel.

Meanwhile, the Liebherr remote control system (LiReCon) suits use on crawler dozers. The firm says that its new PR 776 G8 70tonne crawler dozer can be controlled remotely for greater versatility, also allowing its use in areas that would be dangerous for an operator to access.

The control system is said to allow accurate and precise operation, without compromising productivity or efficiency. High output is claimed and the operator can be working in a comfortable area away from the noise and dirt of a challenging site. This further helps to boost output by reducing operator fatigue.
