2007-2023 LIEBHERR L 550 Z WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Liebherr L 550 Z wheel loader features a robust Liebherr D 934 A7 diesel engine delivering 173 hp (129 kW), optimized by the Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE) driveline that can reduce fuel consumption by 25% compared to conventional systems. It has a rated bucket capacity of 4.2 cubic yards (3 m³) and provides a maximum dump clearance at full lift of 11.6 feet (3 m), supporting high productivity in material handling. The wheel loader’s operational weight is approximately 38,140 lbs (17,300 kg), striking a balance between stability and maneuverability for construction and industrial applications. Its compact design includes a transverse-mounted engine rotated 90°, enhancing component accessibility and weight distribution. The machine incorporates advanced engineering to meet Liebherr’s stringent standards for durability and efficiency, suitable for a wide range of materials and jobsite conditions. Its hydraulic system features a load-sensing variable axial piston pump with flow and pressure control for precise bucket operation. The L 550 Z’s dimensions and powerful breakout force enable effective performance in excavation, loading, and transport tasks while maintaining low operating costs through reduced diesel fuel consumption and maintenance requirements. This model represents a reliable solution for medium-duty wheel loader applications requiring strong performance, fuel efficiency, and versatility.
