2012 - 2015 LIEBHERR L528 WHEEL LOADER

The Liebherr L528 Wheel Loader is a versatile mid-range machine designed for efficient material handling and robust performance. It features a 134 hp (100 kW) water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine (model 4045HFL93) with electronic common rail high-pressure fuel injection, delivering a maximum torque of 363 lb-ft at 1600 rpm. The engine is mounted transversely to optimize driveline efficiency and is equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation system and diesel particulate filter for emissions control. The wheel loader has a breakout force of 17,985 lbs (8,158 kg) and an 8.2 ft (2 m) arm length supporting a heaped bucket capacity of 3 cubic yards (2 m³), with an 8.2 ft (2 m) bucket width. It offers a digging depth of 2 ft (1 m), a dump clearance at max raise of 9.1 ft (3 m), and a maximum hinge pin height of 12.7 ft (4 m). The hydraulic system uses a load-sensing variable axial piston pump with a flow capacity of 36 gal/min (136 l/min), pressure cut-off, and a relief valve setting of 4,351 psi, enabling fast cycle times with a dump time of 1.8 seconds and raise time of 5.4 seconds. Operating weight is approximately 24,030 lbs (10,900 kg) with a static tipping load of 18,740 lbs (8,500 kg). The machine rides on 17.5R25 L3 tires and has a wheelbase of 9.4 ft (3 m) with a turning radius of 19.3 ft (6 m). It achieves a maximum travel speed of 24.9 mph (39 kph) forward and reverse with a transmission offering 3 forward and 3 reverse gears. Additional features include a vibration-reducing hydraulic cabin mounting for operator comfort, a 24V electrical system with two 135 Ah batteries, and a robust cooling and fluid capacity system ensuring reliability in demanding environments. The Liebherr L528 is designed for durability, efficiency, and versatility across a wide range of construction and material handling applications.
