Liebherr L566 X-Power Wheel LoaderLiebherr has introduced a new range of wheel loaders ranging in size from the L550 up to the flagship L586. This new range of X-Power loaders incorporate a number of enhanced technologies including a new drivetrain featuring both mechanical drive and hydrostatic drive and LPE (Liebherr Power Efficiency) technology reducing fuel consumption up to 30% with minimum tyre and brake wear. All the components of the X-power loader are extremely robust and resistant to wear, increasing reliability and durability. The updated cabin has been ergonomically designed with large windows providing an unobstructed view of the work area. The L566 tips the scales around 24 ton and is powered by a Liebherr D936A7 6-cylinder diesel engine delivering 272hp. The new L566 wheel loader in 1:50th scale from Conrad is the first model release from the new X-Power range and accurately captures the updated design of the main engine compartment with clever moulding of the plastic side grill covers replacing the photo-etch panels on the earlier L576.
The updated cabin has a simple plastic interior highlighting the driver seating, armrest controls and steering wheel which has been painted black. The loader arms have captured the full range of movement with a good tipping angle on the Z-bar linkage while the articulation point is fitted with functional steering hydraulics and a driveshaft. |
