Technical Description
The Liebherr L580 2plus2 is a high-performance wheel loader engineered for demanding material handling tasks. Powered by a 6-cylinder, turbo-charged D 926 TI-E A2 diesel engine with intercooler, it delivers 265 hp (198 kW) at 2,000 rpm and peak torque of 1,170 Nm at 1,200 rpm. The loader features a hydrostatic 2plus2 transmission with three forward and reverse gears, enabling a top speed of 24.9 mph (39 km/h) in both directions. Its robust hydraulic system utilizes a load-sensing variable axial piston pump, providing a flow capacity of 288 l/min (76.7 gal/min) and a relief valve setting of 5,076.4 psi. Cycle times are efficient, with a 5.5-second lift, 2-second dump, and 3.5-second lower. The loader has an operating weight of 24,740 kg (54,542.4 lbs) and a static tipping weight of 20,260 kg (44,665.7 lbs). The bucket offers a heaped capacity of 5 m³ (6.6 cu yds), a width of 3 m (10.9 ft), and a breakout force of 17,845 kg (39,341.6 lbs), with a dump clearance of 3 m (10.9 ft) at maximum raise. Key dimensions include a length with bucket on ground of 9 m (29.6 ft), a height to the top of the cab of 3 m (11.7 ft), and a hinge pin maximum height of 5 m (15 ft). The machine is equipped with a 24 V electrical system, 26.5R25 tires, and a turning radius of 7 m (23.8 ft). Standard features include air conditioning, ride control, and an electronic crowding force control system.
