The landscape in Toronto is changing, and GFL Infrastructure Group is helping to reshape the skyline of Canada's largest city. The company recently expanded its equipment fleet by adding a Liebherr R 950 High Reach Demolition Excavator.
The Liebherr LRS Log Handler was presented to the public for the first time at the world's largest construction fair, Bauma 2019, held in Munich, Germany.
With a strong expertise in electrical machines, Liebherr presented a duo of machines fitted to meet the requirements of the mines of the future at Bauma 2019: the R 9200 E and the T 236. When working together, the R 9200 E and T 236 reduce the environmental footprint of any mining operation. The R 9200 E in face shovel configuration can easily fill a T 236 in five passes, a perfect combination for scalable productivity.
At Bauma 2019, Liebherr presented a comprehensive range of intelligent assistance systems for selected wheel loaders from the corporate group. These include, for example, active rear person recognition, front area monitoring and the Skyview 360° camera system. These solutions increase safety and reduce the burden on the machine operator, whose everyday work with the wheel loader brings with it a significant weight of responsibility. Another assistance system is the new weighing device, which functions as a control scale over a large lifting range. All the new assistance systems have been developed by Liebherr and are therefore fully integrated into the machine control. This also applies to the new joystick steering for models from the L 526 to the L 586 XPower. The intuitive operation of the joystick enables the operator to steer accurately and without fatigue, as its position always corresponds to the wheel loader's current articulation angle.
High load capacities with a long telescopic boom together with excellent global mobility are the main features of the new LTM 1110- 5.1 unveiled by Liebherr at Bauma. The new 5-axle crane achieves axle loads of 12 tonnes with 13.1 tonnes of ballast, but can also be driven with a gross weight of less than 48 tonnes with a maximum axle load of 10 tonnes. With its maximum ballast of 28.7 tonnes, it remains below an axle load of 15.5 tonnes. A quick-change system for the ballast slabs ensures maximum flexibility for modifications. The variable support base VarioBase delivers particularly high load capacities with its widened rear supports. Liebherr calls it VarioBasePlus.
At bauma 2019 Liebherr presented two material handling machines: LH 18 M Industry and LH 26 M Industry, both specially designed for recycling applications. With these models, Liebherr says the company is positioning itself specifically in the field of small material handling machines, thereby expanding its product portfolio. As an example, for its electric material handling technology, Liebherr presented the LH 26 Industry with mobile undercarriage.
Since the beginning of the year, Liebherr has launched seven crawler excavator models under 50 tonnes. The R 930, the mid-weight model of the series, is a brand new Liebherr crawler excavator for earthmoving works.
At Bauma 2019, Liebherr introduced its generation 8 crawler tractors with the new PR 736 G8. Equipped with many new developments for even more operator comfort, excellent grading characteristics and the new standard grading systems, the PR 736 G8 is a do-it-all machine for grading and mining use.
The Liebherr Group notched up a turnover of € 10,551 million in 2018, breaking through the € 10 billion barrier for the first time in the company's history. This represents an increase of € 739 million, or 7.5 percent, compared with the previous year.
The final piece of structural steel was recently installed at the Liebherr USA, Co. new headquarters building - a significant construction milestone. Work is on schedule for completion in 2020. The project will house Liebherr USA, Co. employees working in administration, finance, marketing, human resources, sales and service, product support, production and distribution for nine product units.
