those operating conditions. “To ensure compatibility with lower diesel grades, we will also offer telescopic handlers in emis- sion Stage IIIa for markets that are barely regulated, or are not regulated at all, stag- gered over time,” says Längle. Hydrostatically driven, the new tele- scopic handlers have a maximum speed of 40 km/hour. “As an alternative, ver- sions with throttled speeds of 20 or 30 km/h are available,” says Längle. With operational costs in mind, the new range is braked without wear due to the hydrostatic drive’s self-stoppage func- tion. Meanwhile, Liebherr’s Hill Assist function, which comes as standard, en- sures safety and maximum driving com- fort when travelling over uneven ground thanks to the automatic activation of the parking brake. The machines’ performance is said to have been improved as a result of the complete redesign of the hydraulics. “As an alternative to the established working hydraulics in the value models, we have equipped the S models with high-perfor- mance hydraulics,” explains Längle. “A powerful load sensing working hydraulic pump with an oil output of 160 ℓ /min and a control block with load-independent flow rate distribution enable overlapping work- ing movements, ensuring dynamic and rap- id operating cycles.”
Several design aspects pay attention to intuitive operation, comfort and ergonomics.
Machines in detail Driving the new generation of the Liebherr telehandlers are the preferred Deutz engines. With a displacement of 3,6 ℓ with 74 or 100 kW, as well as a displacement of 4,1 ℓ with 115 kW of power, the Deutz motors are said to have been optimised to offer sound performance and fuel
consumption. For developed markets, the engines comply with Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emission standards, thanks to the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and selective catalytic reduction. For unregulated markets or those with lower regulation emissions, Liebherr will offer engine solutions that are suited to
