LIEBHERR L526 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Liebherr L526 is a mid-sized wheel loader engineered for versatile material handling and loading applications. Powered by a 135 horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine with electronic common rail injection, it delivers 404 lb-ft of torque at 1,500 rpm, meeting Stage IV emissions standards through cooled exhaust gas recirculation and SCR technology. The loader features a 2.7 cubic yard bucket with an 8.2-foot width and generates a breakout force of 22,480 pounds, enabling efficient digging and loading operations. Its load-sensing variable axial piston pump delivers 36 gallons per minute at a 4,351 psi relief setting, providing responsive hydraulic control with dump, raise, and lower cycle times of 2.1, 5.3, and 3.6 seconds respectively. The machine operates at a maximum speed of 24.9 mph with a tight 19.6-foot turning radius, optimizing maneuverability in confined work areas. Dimensionally, the L526 measures 25.3 feet in length with bucket on ground and 10.6 feet to the cab roof, while maintaining a 1.6-foot ground clearance. The articulated frame design produces a 7,700 kg tipping load with an operating weight of 11,250 kg, delivering high productivity relative to machine size. Standard equipment includes automatic limited-slip differentials, wear-free hydrostatic service brakes with multi-disc backup systems, and a 24-volt electrical system with 270 Ah battery capacity, ensuring reliable operation across demanding job sites.
