Liebherr will use ConExpo 2026 to show what "Hands on the future" means in practice — machines in operation, applied digital solutions and long-term investments shaping the construction site of tomorrow.
The approach is grounded in practical engineering and close customer collaboration, focusing on technologies that improve safety, reliability and planning today while enabling increasingly connected, data-driven operations.
Liebherr's presence at ConExpo reflects a broader long-term strategy in the North American construction market that extends well beyond the exhibition cycle. Active in the United States since 1970, the company continues to expand its manufacturing, logistics and service footprint through targeted investments. Recent milestones include expanded assembly and manufacturing capabilities in Newport News, Va., and the construction of a new logistics and distribution center in Tupelo, Miss.
Once operational, the Tupelo facility will become Liebherr's first major distribution hub outside Europe designed to improve parts availability and service support across the Americas. The site will manage parts and components for earthmoving, crane, concrete technology, maritime and components business units, while also supporting pre-assembly, kitting and repackaging activities.
Kai Friedrich, managing director of Liebherr USA, Co., said, "Liebherr's commitment to the U.S. construction market goes beyond just building machines. We continue our local investments so customers can depend on prompt service, reliable parts support and effective solutions that consistently deliver at North American job sites."
ConExpo attracts more than 139,000 visitors every three years and is the most important construction equipment exhibition in North America. Liebherr will again be among the largest exhibitors, presenting machines from earthmoving, material handling, mobile cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, deep foundation and concrete technology.
Earthmoving, Material Handling
Earthmoving and material handling equipment represents the largest share of Liebherr's ConExpo lineup, with a focus on durability, efficiency and long service life. Under demanding jobsite conditions, this focus is reflected in machine concepts designed for continuous operation, efficient power delivery and low total cost of ownership.
Central to the exhibit is the articulated dump truck, TA 230 Litronic, shown in live operation throughout the week, engineered for heavy-duty applications, high payload efficiency and reliable performance over long service lifecycles. Additional highlights include the Generation 8, crawler dozers, including the PR 716, developed for grading and site preparation, as well as the crawler loader LR 636 G8.
Both machines are designed for sustained operation in challenging environments, where durability and precise machine control are critical. The machine features hydrostatic drive technology, optional 2D and 3D grade control and an ergonomically designed cab.
The R 945 crawler excavator is presented as a solution for heavy-duty quarrying and earthmoving, emphasizing precise machine control, fuel-efficient operation and long-term reliability. Its robust machine design and optimized drive systems are intended to deliver consistent performance and reduced wear in high-load applications.
The wheeled excavator A 924 demonstrates Liebherr's approach to compact design and mobility for infrastructure and civil engineering projects, while the mid-sized wheel loader L 546 will be shown in live demonstrations equipped with active personnel detection and the Skyview 360-degree camera system, reinforcing Liebherr's focus on operator awareness and jobsite safety.
Electrification and energy efficiency are represented by machines such as the LH 60 M Industry E, an electrically driven material handler designed for a wide range of applications. Operating emission-free and quietly, the machine uses an energy recovery system to reduce overall consumption while maintaining high handling performance.
Liebherr's XPower wheel loaders, including the L 550 and L 586, further illustrate how application-specific kinematics and power-split drive technology are used to balance performance, fuel efficiency and robustness across recycling, industrial and classic loading applications, with a clear focus on durability and consistent performance throughout the machine lifecycle.
Cranes That Make a Tangible Difference On Site
Liebherr will use ConExpo 2026 to showcase developments across its full crane portfolio. Exhibits include a world-premiere all-terrain crane, along with a range of mobile and crawler cranes spanning compact to heavy-duty lifting classes.
These machines emphasize optimized transport concepts, advanced assistance systems and efficient setup procedures. Across all crane types, Liebherr emphasizes advanced assistance systems, transport-optimized designs and digital services that simplify planning, dispatching and day-to-day operations.
Tower cranes complete the portfolio, highlighting solutions designed for high-density urban construction and large infrastructure projects. This includes the 91 K self-erecting crane from the new K series, which will be showcased with intelligent assistance systems that enhance precision, efficiency and safety in material handling.
Live Demonstrations
Live demonstrations take place several times each day in the dedicated demo area, giving visitors direct insight into how Liebherr machines and assistance systems perform under real working conditions. The demonstrations highlight practical applications of operator assistance systems, digital solutions and alternative drive technologies, reinforcing Liebherr's focus on measurable jobsite value rather than static display.
Featured demo machines include the R 914 compact excavator, L 546 mid-sized wheel loader, TA 230 articulated dump truck, PR 716 crawler dozer and the 38 XXT truck-mounted concrete pump.
Digital Solutions Focused On Measurable Job Site Value
Liebherr's digital solutions and services are presented in a dedicated pavilion, where visitors can explore how software, connectivity and data-driven tools are applied across construction operations today. Demonstrations include MyLiebherr for fleet and performance management and Crane Planner 2.0 for realistic 3D lift and site planning. Visitors also can experience the Liebherr simulator, which provides a realistic training environment and supports safer, more economical operator qualifications.
Foundation Equipment
At booth P7761 in the platinum lot, Liebherr presents a focused overview of deep foundation technology, emphasizing flexible machine concepts and system integration. The exhibit includes the LRB 19 piling and drilling rig, which premiered for the first time at bauma 2025 in Munich and is now being shown at ConExpo for the first time, featuring a hydraulic quick connection for rapid attachment changes. Also on display are the LB 35.1 drilling rig with a new lattice boom extension for greater drilling depths and the THS 110 D-K crawler concrete pump for specialized deep foundation applications.
