The £20m investment in Liebherr GB’s rental fleet includes excavators, dozers, wheeled loaders, articulated dump trucks (ADTs) and material handlers.
“The new-look fleet will feature several new models to increase our already extensive offering of world class Liebherr machinery,” said Joe Palmer, general manager of rental & used equipment.
The tracked excavator fleet will be expanded by adding the R 938 (40 tonne) model as well as increasing the number of R 922, R 930, R 934, R 945, R 956 and R 966 models. Machines from Generation 8 R 922 to R 945 will all be delivered Leica-GPS-ready. An A 914 compact has also been ordered which will no doubt appeal for roadworks and civils.
Liebherr GB has also ordered five different Generation 8 dozer sizes, from the PR 726 to the PR 766.
For the first time ever, Liebherr GB will be offering the newly launched L509 Tele wheeled loader to the UK rental market, suitable for waste applications and small concrete plants. A number of L 518, L 526, L 538 and L 546 wheeled loaders will be available with a mix of waste specification configurations (solid tyres, hi-tip buckets, additional protection) and others in standard aggregate specification. Machines from the full XPower range of wheel loaders will be arriving with some L 550s & L 556s in a waste specification.
The number of Liebherr TA 230 articulated dump trucks on the fleet is on the increase too. All will be fitted with wide, flotation tyres, full tailgate and Liebherr weighload indicator.
Finally, new LH 22M and LH 24M material handlers have been ordered in waste specification with SG 25 sorting grabs. These will be fitted with generators and available with either five-tine or clamshell grab as well as a magnet making them suited to scrap metal and/or aggregate rehandling. For the first time, Liebherr Rental will also have LH 18Ms available for hire.
