World premiere at bauma for 718 Liebherr’s upgraded mid-range front loader series, the L526, 538 and 546.

The loaders remain with the tried and trusted hydrostatic driveline but have upgraded axles. This improvement, along with a toughened chassis makes them especially suitable to the recycling sector, explained Martin Koller, a spokesman for Liebherr’s loader range.

When fitted with foam or solid rubber tyres, as is often the case in recycling yards to guard against punctures, the machines are exceptionally robust for that environment, he said.

These “all-rounders” can easily handle continuous shift operations, as seen so often in recycling yards.

The standard lift configuration is a set bar linkage for lighter work. But a parallel linkage is available as an option.

Deliveries will begin during the second half of this year.

    New from Doosan is the DL250 Tc-5 wheeled loader. Weighing in at just over 14tonnes, this machine is equipped with a parallel front end system instead of a Z-bar linkage. This configuration is said to optimise its versatility, allowing it to be used for a wider range of duties. Power comes from an emissions compliant diesel delivering 128kW at 2,100rpm. The machine can deliver 102kN of bucket force and features a tipping load of 8.2tonnes at 40°.
