Liebherr L 580 makes light of greywacke work

摘要

Quarrying company Guenter Jung operates a very special fleet of machinery, which boasts the L 580 XPower wheeled loader as its latest addition in the quarry in Drolshagen. "The L 580 XPower is predominantly used in load-and-carry applications and feeds material into crushers and lorries," said company owner Guenter Jung. His firm produces bulk material of various quality grades for use in special-purpose civil engineering. The high-quality quarry stones, irregular paving slabs, decorative stones and rectangular stone blocks are used in both construction and landscaping. The L 580 XPower picks up blast material at the quarry face and transports it to the two crusher units around 100m away. With its power-split driveline, the nearly-28tonne wheeled loader has no difficulty in covering this distance, which includes an incline of around 15m in length, explained Jung .
