Liebherr is now offering a versatile loader with a telescopic boom

This versatile machine combines the lift height and reach of a regular telescopic loader with the handling capacity of a conventional wheeled loader. Its telescopic lift arm features integrated z-bar kinematics and lifting heights of up to 4.8m. The machine retains the proven stereo steering of the standard L 509 and can reach a top speed of 38km/h. The transmission is hydrostatic and the machine complies with Stage V/ Tier 4 Final emissions specifications.

The telescopic lift arm offers advantages in terms of lifting height and reach. The Liebherr stereo steering system, the proven combination of articulated steering and the steered rear axle, ensures manoeuvrability.

The L 509 Tele has a new hydraulic quick coupler to switch between work tools. It ensures high wear and holding forces and has a compact design, allowing a good view of the attachment being used. Liebherr has equipped the L 509 Tele with an overload warning system as standard. As an additional aid, the machine operator receives an acoustic signal and a visual warning on the display if the maximum load is exceeded.

The machine has an articulated tipping load of 3.8tonnes, a bucket capacity of 0.9m³, an operating weight of 7tonnes and a diesel rated at 54 kW.
