In case of imminent accident, new brake assistant for Liebherr wheel loaders reduces stopping distance
January 20, 2021
Statistically speaking, accidents with wheel loaders occur most frequently when the machine operator reverses after a loading process. This reverse travel is particularly risky if people are located in the wheel loader’s operating area. In these situations, there is a huge responsibility on the machine operator. Construction machine accidents can often result in severe injuries and significant damage. To ensure maximum safety, Liebherr is therefore continuing to develop its assistance systems. A current example of this is active personnel detection at the rear which now has an integrated braking assistance function and an incident map.
