Liebherr Construction Equipment: Illustrated History Books & Guides

Liebherr - Die Erfolgsgeschichte der Hydraulikbagger (Band 2)

The story continues: After the standard and large excavators from Volume 1, we now have the impressive construction machines for a wide range of special tasks in mining, handling, tunnel construction, track construction and demolition. Here too, away from the usual construction sites, Liebherr hydraulic excavators with sometimes unusual equipment are in use every day under the toughest conditions around the world.

The authors again describe these special machines chronologically and in detail with all the relevant data. From the very beginning, through numerous further developments, to the highly specialized, current state.

Liebherr - Die Erfolgsgeschichte der Hydraulikbagger (Band 1): Standard- und Großbagger

The internationally successful construction machinery manufacturer Liebherr has been manufacturing hydraulic excavators since 1954 and is therefore one of the pioneers of this highly interesting construction machinery technology.
Volume 1 shows for the first time chronologically the continuous development of all standard and large hydraulic excavators produced to date by the traditional manufacturer: detailed and fully described, with all technical data and mostly previously unpublished illustrations.
From the first prototype, through the mining excavators, to the new products at Bauma 2019.

Pages of the book "Liebherr - Die Erfolgsgeschichte der Hydraulikbagger (Band 1): Standard- und Großbagger"

For four years, the two construction machinery historians researched countless sources intensively and searched many archives for rare images, documents and information.
Conversations with current and former employees of the excavator works in Germany and France helped to shed light on the technical connections. Contemporary witnesses also reported on encounters with the visionary and company founder Hans Liebherr.
