Liebherr has announced the launch of the T48-8s telescopic handler.
The T48-8s features a 21.65 in. longer telescopic boom than the T55-7s. This extension provides operators with an additional 3.3 ft. of lift height and forward reach, enabling more efficient material handling, particularly when working with bulk trailers, hoppers or loading containers up to 13 ft. high.
In industrial material handling and recycling operations, where the optimal use of storage volume is crucial, the T48-8s demonstrates its full potential. Operators can stack and move materials more efficiently without driving deep into piles, improving manoeuvrability, safety and productivity.
Proven Liebherr Performance, Comfort
The T48-8s shares its base components with the T55-7s, including the 115 kW engine, working hydraulics and the ergonomically designed operator's cab with excellent all-round visibility. The multifunction joystick, mounted directly to the seat, moves synchronously with the operator, ensuring intuitive and precise control at all times.
The electronic pre-control system enables the integration of Liebherr assistance systems such as auto power, fine control mode and automatic telescope retraction. These features simplify operation, enhance efficiency and reduce operator fatigue during extended working periods, according to Liebherr..
Powerful, Efficient Hydraulics
The new model is equipped with a load-sensing hydraulic pump with a variable flow rate of up to 53 gal./min, providing high performance while maintaining energy efficiency, according to Liebherr. The combination of simultaneous working movements, fast cycle times and ECO-Motion (load-free lowering) ensures smooth and responsive handling for all applications.
Precision, Visibility, Safety
The T48-8s offers significant advantages in loading operations, according to Liebherr. The longer boom not only increases reach but also reduces the lift angle required to reach the tipping position. This improves visibility of the load and surrounding area, reducing the risk of collisions, according to Liebherr.
An optimised dump angle allows materials to discharge more easily from the bucket, supporting quicker and cleaner loading operations. Combined with Liebherr's renowned structural stability and advanced load moment control, the machine ensures maximum safety and reliability in all conditions, according to Liebherr.
Intelligent Operation, Customisation
The T48-8s is fitted as standard with a 3.5-in. color display, with an optional 7-in. display is available for enhanced operator information and machine monitoring. The steering system includes three selectable modes plus crab steering, electronically switchable via a rotary control, providing flexibility for every working environment, according to Liebherr.
Performance-Driven Design
The T48-8s achieves comparable lift capacities to the T55-7s across most of the working range, while offering greater reach both upwards and forwards. This makes it the ideal solution for customers prioritizing lift height and extended reach, such as those operating in industrial, agricultural or recycling sectors.
Availability
The first T48-8s machines are now rolling out of production and are fully available. The model can be configured and ordered via LIAS, extending Liebherr's telescopic handler range with a solution that combines greater reach, strong lifting performance and the exceptional comfort and reliability customers have come to expect from Liebherr.
