Liebherr recently launched the telescopic handler TL 432-7. Liebherr telescopic handlers score particularly highly with the infinitely variable hydrostatic travel drive, the sturdy overall structure, the safe, simple and convenient operation and the outstanding viewing conditions enabled by the equipment design.  

The basic model of Liebherr's telescopic handlers with 7 m lifting height is the TL 432-7 with a lifting capacity of 3.2 tonnes. Based on this standard model, the machines are also available as TL 436-7 and TL 441-7 versions with lifting capacities of 3.6 and 4.1 tonnes. The models offer an extremely broad spectrum of use allowing challenging recycling tasks to be performed reliably and efficiently.

The three telescopic handler models are powered by a turbocharged Deutz construction machine engine with 74 kW / 100 HP. This engine is equipped as standard with an oxidisation catalyst and meets the requirements of the Stage IIIB / Tier 4i emissions legislation. For deployment on steep gradients where a higher pulling force is needed, Liebherr offers a larger capacity engine with an output of 90 kW / 122 HP and a greater hydraulic delivery rate. The hydrostatically driven fan is regulated electronically and the cooling output is set variably depending on the ambient temperature and operating conditions. This enables a fuel saving, the noise emissions can be reduced and general efficiency during operation is increased.

The telescopic handlers from Liebherr impress with their stability during loading and lifting. The frame and the balanced wheelbase give the machines a low centre of gravity. The heavy duty telescopic boom is articulated at a point deep in the frame. Powerful friction bearings allow smooth guidance with heavy loads and offer a high lifting force. High performing working hydraulics and the trusted hydrostatic travel drive on the telescopic handlers facilitate purposeful and fast operations as well as short working cycles. The infinitely variable controls and the fine response of the hydrostatic travel drive ensure precision and rapid manoeuvring and also jolt-free driving without shifting operations across the entire speed range. The rims and axles designed specifically for the equipment - the 45% self-locking limited slip differential on the front axle and the particularly wide swing angle of the rear axle - not forgetting the high ground clearance - guarantee safe work and good off road capability of the telescopic handler.

The compact machines are ideally suited for use in tight operating conditions thanks to their great manoeuvrability. Three different types of steering – front wheel steering, all-wheel steering and crab steering – can be individually selected. A standard LED display informs the driver when the wheels are in a neutral position.
