L 508 Compact Liebherr L 508 Compact Specifications & Technical Data (2022—2026)

Excellent Access

The engine bay is very easy to work on due to its compact design. All the main components can be accessed easily and no special tools are required for maintenance work. After a change of operator, all that is required is a brief inspection during the handover process: all the check points and fluid levels are clearly visible and easy to access.

Diesel Engine

The usual high quality and reliability you can expect from our 4-cylinder diesel engines means you have a safe, powerful driving force.

Reliable Cooling System

The diesel engine is water-cooled. This ensures constant cooling particularly for travelling uphill and in high outdoor temperatures.

Comfort

Simple, user-friendly operation and the comfort in the cab help to ensure that the operator can concentrate on work with minimal fatigue, thus enhancing safety and productivity. The large proportion of glass in the cab and the special design of the lift arm provide excellent all-round visibility to ensure maximum safety for people, the machine and the load.

Z-bar Linkage with Parallel Guidance

The tapered design of the lift arm ensures excellent visibility. The lift arm narrows towards the cab to provide excellent visibility of the equipment and load. The cab’s windscreen extends on both sides to floor level, thus enhancing visibility of the whole working area in front of the machine. The geometry of the equipment ensures particularly good stability and high handling capacity. In fork mode, the precision parallel control over the entire lifting range ensures particularly safe, sensitive and precise operation.

Excellent All-Round Visibility

The high proportion of glass in the cab combined with the compact design of the wheel loader gives the operator excellent visibility in all directions and therefore control of the entire working area. Dangerous situations for personnel and objects in the working area, for the operator and for the machine can be identified faster and thus averted.

Perfect Visibility

Improved visibility of the equipment and load is achieved due to the tapered design of the lift arm, which narrows towards the cab. The high proportion of glass in the cab, which in part has been taken down to floor level, provides a clear view forwards.

Cab With Excellent Visibility

The high proportion of glass in the cab, which in part has been taken down to floor level, along with the improved design and layout of the interior and exterior mirrors, plus the tapered design of the lift arm, give the operator a full view all around the wheel loader. This enables him to see events near the machine and react as quickly as possible, thus protecting the operator himself, as well as other personnel and items in the working area.

Simple Handling

The combination of innovation, safety, and user-friendliness is evident inside the operator’s cab. The cab has a modern design with its clearly arranged control instruments, guaranteeing simple handling. The operator can adjust the ergonomically installed controls, joystick, and steering. The comfort in the cab enables the operator to concentrate on his work, which in turn increases safety and productivity. Operators using the machine for the first time will quickly familiarize themselves with its use, as brief training is all that is required to ensure maximum Compact Loader safety.

Performance

Liebherr Compact Loaders are a completely new machine concept within the wheel loader range. They combine power with safety and are also very flexible to use. With the 50 kW L 508, Liebherr has the only compact loader on the market with such a low machine height design in this capacity class. The compact design makes the wheel loaders flexible while also ensuring maximum stability and tipping safety.

Economy

The Compact Loaders provide companies with safe, practical, and compact machines – and they all offer unbeatable value for money! Their low machine height design ensures that the machines are flexible to use and transport. Transporting the Compact Loaders will rarely be hampered by a tunnel or underpass with low clearance.

Compact Design

Particularly compact, low design – the overall height of the Compact Loaders is less than 2.5 meters. Excellent weight distribution – the compact design means that the Compact Loaders’ center of gravity is particularly low, ensuring the ability to handle high payloads and provide maximum stability and tipping safety. Thanks to their low machine height design of less than 2.5 meters, transporting the Compact Loaders is very straightforward and fast. Low entrances and clearance heights on site are not a problem – the Compact Loaders can be used efficiently and flexibly. The compact, low design further increases the flexibility of the Compact Loader in usage. The machine has a low weight and a particularly low height at just 2.5 m. This means it will fit through most tunnels or underpasses and can be transported by tipper vehicles or in high cube containers. Its low machine height makes it perfect for unique work in low entrances and clearance heights.

Maximum Productivity at Low Purchase Cost

Their compact design, powerful lift arm with parallel guide, and high payloads despite the small machine size enable the Compact Loaders to provide maximum productivity at a low purchase cost.

Stable Vehicle Handling

The oscillating center pivot compensates for ground unevenness and thus provides maximum operator comfort and excellent stability. The machine’s stability is also enhanced by its compact design and resultant low center of gravity.

Safety in and Around the Machine

Stability and Tipping Safety

Maximum stability in all site situationsHigh payloadsExcellent center of gravity due to the low clearance heightOscillating centre pivotExcellent ratio between weight and tipping load.

Tipping Load

Load at the centre of gravity of working equipment, so that the wheel loader just begins to tip over the front axle. This is the most unfavourable static-load position for the wheel loader. Lifting arms horizontal, wheel loader fully articulated at the centre pivot.

Pay Load

The pay load must not exceed 50% of the tipping load when articulated. This is equivalent to a static stability-margin factor of 2.0.
