Liebherr joins Celebration of Construction on the National Mall in DC

Liebherr USA, Co., will participate in the second Celebration of Construction on the National Mall in May. In the heart of Washington, DC, the industry's highlights in machine innovations, workforce development opportunities, and sustainability initiatives will be shown. The event will exhibit several components between the Capital Building and the Washington Monument.  

Liebherr USA, Co. will be one of many OEMs participating in this opportunity to showcase innovative equipment, aiming to educate attendees about the impact of OEMs on the industry. Liebherr's exhibit will provide attendees with a unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience with machinery and solutions, allowing attendees to see the equipment in action and understand its capabilities, benefits, and economic impacts. Further topics include emissions technology, alternative power sources, building materials, construction methods, safety enhancements, and workforce development programs. 

Liebherr machines at the Celebration of Construction 

Liebherr's participation in the Celebration of Construction on the National Mall will feature some of the latest advancements in construction technology. Each of these machines, the LRT 1090-2.1 rough terrain crane, the 42 M5 XXT truck-mounted concrete pump, and the L 546 wheel loader, are used in a wide array of applications and can be found on many construction sites throughout the country. 

The truck-mounted concrete pump

The 42 M5 XXT truck-mounted concrete pump offers a 5-part multi-fold distributor boom and XXT outrigger supports. The pivoting XXT support provides the pump versatility and flexibility when working on tight or narrow job sites. Additionally, the pump is equipped with Powerbloc, Liebherr's latest drive unit for concrete pumps that do not require a separate control block. The pump also comes equipped with a semi-closed oil circuit HCC which guarantees all drives are supplied with reliable hydraulic power. 

The rough terrain crane 

The LRT 1090-2.1 rough terrain crane is fitted standard with an outrigger monitor which automatically detects the support status and includes it in the crane control system. Additional safety features are provided by the VarioBase variable support base enhancing flexibility on site and increasing the crane's lifting capacity. Also, the telescopic boom on the rough terrain crane features time-tested rope pull technology. This telescoping technology enables the boom to be extended quickly to any length using a two-stage hydraulic cylinder with a rope extension mechanism. 

The wheel loader

The L 546 wheel loader provides a high level of performance for the mid-size range. This machine offers new, optimized Z bar linkage, 20 percent more breakout force, as well as faster tilt movement and cycle times providing more power for tough operations. The L 546 also offers fuel-efficient performance with Liebherr-Power Efficiency, a higher engine output, and a hydrostatic travel drive. With multiple assistance systems optionally available, the L546 is an excellent option for various applications. These innovations enhance productivity and efficiency on construction sites, reducing project timelines, and costs.

"We are proud to be participating in the Celebration of Construction on the National Mall. This event provides an opportunity to showcase innovative products and construction solutions utilized across the country," notes Kai Friedrich, managing director of Liebherr USA, Co. "Liebherr's dedication to the U.S. market extends beyond manufacturing as we are deeply committed to supporting local communities and promoting sustainable practices within the construction industry."
