The Liebherr

Working Tools
2
Tool-System for a
variety of jobs
Liebherr working tools for excavators were designed as problem solvers for the most varied
applications. The carefully balanced program ranges from standard buckets for digging and
loading of loosened material to buckets for heavy-duty jobs in the mining industry with extreme
break-out forces and high wear and tear. Equipped with effective, to the relating ground match-
ing teeth the Liebherr digging tools provide a maximum productivity and longevity.
Performance
Liebherr digging tools are particularly productive excavator components at
the very latest technological level. Special bucket shapes, permit maximum
transmission of power, provide the best penetration- and outstanding dig-
ging characteristics. Optimized bucket capacities and improved heap-cones
provide the best turn-over performance.
Reliability
Liebherr digging tools are in-house designed and manufactured. Specic
material selection, specialized heat treatment and lowest machining toler-
ances are utilized in order to achieve the especially toughness and the high
longevity. The convincing result: outstanding dependability under the most
severe job conditions.
Comfort
The careful and precise calibration of bucket shape and tooth selection
provides the ideal digging tool for each job. The proven and reliable quick-
change system LIKUFIX permits the split-second, safe exchange of me-
chanical and hydraulic attaching tools by the press of a button from the cab.
LIKUFIX attaching tools also work on hydraulic excavators with Liebherr
quick change adapters without LIKUFIX - that means full exibility and high
comfort in every situation.
Efficiency
Liebherr digging tools provide a maximum of protability. The Liebherr quick
change systems increase productivity especially in applications with varying
attaching tools. The 24/7 availability of wear parts and the easy exchange
procedure safe time and money as well. Because of the modular design, the
change systems and tools are very suitable for future tasks.

Bucket options
Whether loose dirt, abrasive material or hard rock quality and effectiveness of every
excavator job are affected by the targeted selection of the suitable bucket. Therefore,
Liebherr has designed a wide range of bucket options, which are especially suitable for an
applicable job due to the shape, material selection and technical ttings. Practical experi-
ence and continued attention to product development assure that Liebherr buckets are
always state-of-the-art technology.

Optimum penetration due to low digging resistance
If the rapid-change slot of a backhoe bucket is
wider than the backhoe bucket itself, this limits the
digging depth.
For cases such as this Liebherr offers backhoe
buckets with an extended basic shape. This
increases the maximum digging depth.

Backhoe buckets
Backhoe buckets are essential tools for Liebherr excavators. Due to their well
thought-out geometry, the weight optimized genuine buckets are well matched to
the Liebherr excavators. Good penetration characteristics and high productivity
are the results.

The right tooth
for every appl ication
The economic use of a hydraulic excavator is only possible if the tooth shape
matches the relating application. Liebherr offers a broad tooth program with tooth
shapes for every task.
Due to its low overall heigth and the slim, self-sharpening tooth shape the
Liebherr U-system stands for best diggning behavior at lowest penetration
resistance. Highly wear-resistant steel provides familiar reliability under hard
conditions, which has already stood the test on wheel loaders. The lateral rolled pin
fastening allows a simple and safe change of teeth.
Pointed tooth HD-tooth Standard tooth
Features:
Pointed tooth for good penetration, reversible.
Application:
for very hard and frozen soil, non-friable rock
(limestone, shale, brown coal, mining of wall
gravel etc.).
Features:
Cap with high share of material for long service
life in wear-intensive applications.
Application:
for extremely abrasive soils (granite, basalt,
sandstone, rocks with high share of silica etc.).

The optimized tooth design leads to efciency increase of the Liebherr Z-system on the jobsite. The low digging resistance,
the self-sharpening tooth shape or the simple hammer-free change of teeth speak for the Liebherr Z-system. The teeth are
made out of high-strength steel which distinguishes itself through highest wear resistance and long service life.

Buckets for special application
Liebherr provides its customers with buckets in the very best
material quality and outstanding workmanship.
Far more than in pure earthmoving applications, they prove their
worth day after day in mining operations, demolition jobs, ma-
rine engineering and a string of other special applications.

The proven tilt buckets of the Liebherr excavators are the all-rounders for professional humus
soil work and excavation. The rugged ditch cleaning buckets with patented tilt mechanism and
protected, inside mounted, cylinders in various cutting widths are utilized as effective tools for
grading and scarping.

Everything from one source
Liebherr excavator controls include tilt-rotator function
Backhoe bucket can also be used as a face shovel
Tilt rotators have today become an essential part of civil engineering. Thanks to the exible use
of the backhoe bucket, the unproductive repositioning of the hydraulic excavator during work
can be substantially reduced, and the productivity of the machine is increased.
Lieberr tilt rotators have a slewing angle of 2 x 50 and can rotate innitely through 360. The
integrated rotating cylinder itself, which is protected and located horizontally, has no projecting
parts even at maximum rotating angle, which could otherwise be damaged when working in
conned spaces. This ensures that servicing costs are kept low, and makes Liebherr tilt rotators
the ideal tool for working in lining operations or when close to building structures. In conjunction
with the ergonomic Liebherr proportional control system, the tilt rotator can be put to use rapidly,
with ne sensitivity, and with maximum precision, which helps achieve high productivity for the
hydraulic excavator.
The preparation of complex excavation contours and the exposing of existing structural
elements such as drain shafts, pipes, etc. can be carried out extremely rapidly with Liebherr
tilt rotators. Tedious and sometime dangerous shaft excavation by hand can be reduced to a
minimum, and personnel can move on to the next tasks to be dealt with.
It is recommended that Liebherr tilt rotators be tted on the upper side with the Likux quick
coupling system from Liebherr. In this way, the tilt rotator is only attached when it is actually
needed, which reduces fuel consumption, increases the service life of the tilt rotator, and allows
for the maximum load capacity of the hydraulic excavator to be fully exploited during hoisting
operations. In traditional earthmoving situations, taking off the tilt rotator allows for the largest
possible backhoe bucket to be tted, in order to achieve high handling performance with low
fuel consumption.
Together with Liebherr wheel and crawler excavators, Liebherr tilt rotators attain maximum
productivity, reliability, and safety on the construction site.

Clamshells
Next to the backhoe bucket, the clamshell is one of the most important digging tools in the
utility business. The clamshell selection is based on the ground condition, the specic mate-
rial weight and the required production performance. The selection of the entire clamshell
attachment is signicant in order to determine the required digging depth.

Liebherr demolition
and sorting grapples
The demolition and sorting grapples are designed for both
demolition and for material handling applications. They also
optimize the use of the hydraulic excavator at the construction
site. Sorting, loading or even demolition, they can handle so
easily.
The stone grapple is a special type of the demolition and
sorting grapple. Their shape makes it ideal for setting and
loading stones.

Functionality
Pipe-laying tool
The pipe-layer developed by Liebherr enables signicant productivity increase when laying
sewage pipes. The pipe is picked up, positioned at the end of a pipe already in place, aligned
and inserted into the previously installed pipe in accordance with existing standards using
a horizontal ram. The pipe-layer enables quick and efcient installation of pipes of various
lengths, diameters, weights, materials and nominal sizes. Thanks to this system, operational
safety on pipe-laying sites is raised considerably, since no one is forced to remain in the dan-
ger area.
Applications
Sewage construction
Pipe-laying jobs
Highway construction
