Liebherr Equipment Models Receive Two German Design Awards

Liebherr received the 2018 German Design Award in the "Excellent Product Design" category for its T46-7 telescopic handler and its XPower L 550 to L 586 wheel loaders. The judges cited the optimal visibility and dynamic appearance of the telescopic handler, as well as the intelligent and functional design of the XPower wheel loaders.

The German Design Award is one of the most highly recognized design competitions worldwide, and sets high standards when it comes to selecting its prize-winners. Over 5,000 submissions are observed during a two-day judging session.

The T46-7 telescopic handler is one of eight new models that are available in a total of 26 different versions. The application-specific demands required by operators resulted in the final design criteria for the new units. Developers placed the main focus on creating optimal visibility as well as intuitive and convenient operation.

With the iF and Red Dot prizes already under its belt, the German Design Award is the third prestigious design prize that has been awarded to the latest generation of large wheel loaders from Liebherr. The design development phase for these machines focused on a powerful appearance and particularly on functionality and user friendliness. Dynamic proportions and modern design elements are consistently implemented from the lift arm, to the comfort cabin, right through to the rear end.
