Liebherr delivered a major showcase at bauma 2025, including product debuts and showcases for international attendees.
Liebherr hosted a 14,000m² booth featuring more than 70 exhibits and several individual solution concepts as it helps shape the future of heavy industries.
The exhibits encompassed a variety of industries and showcase earthmoving machinery, material handling technology, mining equipment, mobile and crawler cranes, tower cranes, deep foundation machines, concrete technology, and components.
“Liebherr sees itself as a dependable partner in technology that works hand-in-hand with customers to develop innovations, to jointly create practical and future-proof product solutions that fulfil their individual requirements and wishes,” the company said.
From products to partnerships, customer support, digitalisation, and responsibility, Liebherr presented a wide range of topics at the trade show from 7–13 April.
EXPANDED EARTHMOVING
Liebherr will unveil a series of world premieres at the trade show, including in its popular earthmoving segment, with new wheel loaders, telehandlers, wheeled excavators, new railroad excavator as well as R 930 Tunnel crawler excavator.
Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH will showcase two key innovations of the “Liebherr Autonomous Operations” system and the world’s first large wheel loader with the hydrogen engine in the L 566 H. It is based on the proven L 566 XPower and features the power-split XPower travel drive.
The L 566 H marks an expansion in the range of alternative drive systems. After its showing at bauma 2025, the L 566 H will undertake a two-year test deployment at Gratkorn quarry with STRABAG. The large hydrogen-powered wheel loader is expected to save up to 100 tonnes of CO₂ annually, equivalent to about 37,500 litres of diesel at the quarry.
The Liebherr Autonomous Operations system enables repetitive tasks to be carried out easily and intuitively without an operator. The system is suited for loading hoppers and transporting materials from A to B. Attendees to bauma 2025 can see live demonstrations of the autonomous wheel loader.
This technology can help quarries complete monotonous tasks which can be hard to staff with workers.
“At the same time, it can create space for employees to focus on more complex activities that require human expertise,” Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH head of emerging technologies Dr Manuel Bös said.
“Liebherr Autonomous Operations can be used anywhere – from a confined industrial hall to an open quarry.”
Alongside the L 566 H and Autonomous Operations system, Liebherr will offer a range of wheel loaders, from the L 504 Compact to the L 586 XPower and battery-electric wheel loaders L 507 E.
Additionally, Liebherr will debut two wheeled excavators in the A 909 Compact and A 911 Compact at bauma 2025. The A 909 Compact (nine-tonne class) and A 911 (11-tonne class) expand the company’s wheeled excavator portfolio and offer operators highly flexible machines in a compact design.
The A 909 Compact and A 911 Compact have small tail swing radiuses (1.5m and 1.6m, respectively) and front swing radiuses (2m and 2.1m, respectively), and their turning circles are 3.86m, which underscores their compact designs. The wheeled excavators offer operators great stability and enormous digging forces even in challenging applications like hard soil.
Attendees of the major trade show will also be able to see the world premiere of Liebherr’s new sixth-generation Telescopic Handler and the new T 48-8s Telescopic Handler, which expands the company’s offerings.
The T 48-8s marks Liebherr’s entry into the eight-metre class of telescopic handlers, catering to customers in the heavy industrial sector. Its design is based on the Liebherr T 55-7s, but the maximum lifting height of eight metres and dumping height give the T48-8s distinct advantages for industrial applications like loading trucks.
The sixth generation of Liebherr’s telescopic handlers retains the hydrostatic drive, which has been a trademark of Liebherr Telescopic handlers. The drive technology is impressive due to its precise manouverability, minimal susceptibility to wear and tear and excellent power transmission. The perfect all-round visibility typical of Liebherr has been further improved with the external ROPS/FOPS grille and offers the driver an unrestricted overview of the surrounding work area.
The new design of the sixth generation delivers load capacity increases of up to nine per cent for individual models. The electronic pilot control of the operating hydraulics is introduced for generation six while new Assistance Systems, such as the bucket shaking function, auto power and improved fine control of the operating hydraulics, expand the telehandler’s capabilities.
Furthermore, Liebherr will present its new railroad excavators under a new product name for the first time: the RE 25 M Litronic. The model expands the existing portfolio with a machine in the 25-tonne class with hydrostatic rail wheel drive and a profiled uppercarriage.
Developed at Liebherr-France SAS in Colmar (France), the R 930 Tunnel replaces the R 924 Compact Tunnel and allows high-level performance in all types of underground applications. Alongside the R 950 Tunnel, the R 930 Tunnel completes the range of crawler excavator dedicated to tunnel applications.
DELIVERING ON DIGITALISATION
Digital technology will be a key theme of Liebherr’s bauma 2025 showcase, including demonstrations and its InnovationLab.
“Digitalisation is one of the most significant areas of activity of our time. Though it may often seem abstract and technology-oriented, it is always centred around people and real added value,” Liebherr’s head of digital business and strategy Marcel Flir said.
“Our goal is to establish practical benefits that extend beyond value chains. That’s why we design machines and solutions in ways that best fulfil the needs of our customers and partners.”•
