Technical Description
The Liebherr L514 is a compact, high-performance wheel loader designed for versatility and efficiency in demanding construction and material handling environments. Equipped with a robust 4-cylinder, water-cooled, turbocharged inline engine (D 504 T), it delivers 98 hp (73 kW) at 2,400 rpm and peak torque at 1,400 rpm, ensuring reliable power for heavy-duty tasks. The loader features a stepless hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth operation with two forward and two reverse gears, and a maximum speed of 18.7 mph (29 km/h) in both directions. Its Z-bar linkage and articulated steering, combined with a steerable rear axle, offer an ultra-low turning radius of 14.6 ft (4 m), enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces. The bucket has a heaped capacity of 2 cu yds (2 m³), a width of 7.9 ft (2 m), and a breakout force of 17,310.3 lbs (7,852 kg), enabling efficient material handling. The hydraulic system utilizes a gear pump with a flow capacity of 30.4 gal/min (114 l/min), supporting fast cycle times: 4.5 seconds for raising, 3 seconds for lowering, and 1.5 seconds for dumping. The loader’s operating weight is 17,019.7 lbs (7,720 kg), with a static tipping weight of 12,511.3 lbs (5,675 kg). Standard tire sizes are 15.5R25 or 17.5R25, and the machine offers a ground clearance of 1.3 ft (0.4 m), a wheelbase of 8.6 ft (2.6 m), and a length with bucket on ground of 20.3 ft (6.2 m). The L514 is engineered for operator comfort, stability, and ease of maintenance, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of applications.
