Liebherr to exhibit material handling machines for recycling sector at ReMA 2025

Liebherr USA, Co., will display at the ReMA 2025 Convention and Expo in San Diego from May 12 to 15 with multiple machines. Offerings include the LH 40 M Industry material handler, L 550 XPower wheel loader, and R 922 powerhand crawler excavator. 

Liebherr offers specialized scrap machines for demanding material handling jobs. Loading, unloading, or sorting out different types of scrap, steel, and metals can be achieved with Liebherr material handling equipment. 

The LH 40 M Industry material handler 

The LH 40 M Industry features a patented energy recovery system, offering a maximum handling capacity while lowering the overall fuel consumption. This feature enables a more powerful machine with faster work cycles. The attachment of the machine is available in a variety of versions and is always optimally matched for various applications including scrap, waste, and recycling. 

Performance is important in handling scrap materials; whether sorting out mixed scrap material, loading and unloading HGVs and ships, or loading shredders, shears, and press plants, the Liebherr material handling machines are designed to perform in a variety of work applications.

L 550 XPower wheel loader 

The Liebherr XPower wheel loader can handle a wide range of materials using strong lift arm variants and application-specific attachments.. 

Contractors can choose between industrial and z-bar kinematics within the L 550 - L566 XPower wheel loaders and the L 580 XPower to select the right machine needed for specific operations like transporting, loading steel and metal scrap, or loading shredder systems.

R 922 Powerhand crawler excavator 

The R 922 crawler excavator showcases a completely updated design with characteristics of Liebherr Generation 8 machines providing even greater comfort and better ergonomics.

The machine comes preprogrammed from the factory to control the unit and the clamp functions are controlled by the joystick and not foot pedals, making it easier for the operator to control. 

The Powerhand Vehicle Recovery System 200 enables operators to get the maximum value out of a junk car before they are scrapped. Traditional manual methods of removing and separating high-value materials from recycled vehicles are labour-intensive and costly. Liebherr is able to equip the R 922 excavator with a preparation kit that virtually makes the Powerhand System a plug-and-play hook-up. 

Liebherr offers a wide range of crawler excavators with operating weights from 50,930 lbs. to 198,640 lbs. Each is designed with one goal in mind, to meet the demands and specifications of our customers in terms of performance, reliability, and efficiency, as well as safety and comfort.
