Liebherr expands its range of telescopic handlers with the new T48-8s. The model combines the proven performance and comfort of the T55-7s with an extended working range, offering a maximum lift height of 8 metres and a maximum load capacity of 4.8 tonnes. 

The T48-8s features a 550 mm longer telescopic boom than the T55-7s. This extension provides operators with an additional metre of lift height and forward reach, enabling more efficient material handling, particularly when working with bulk trailers, hoppers, or loading containers up to 4 metres high.

In industrial material handling and recycling operations, where the optimal use of storage volume is crucial, the T48-8s demonstrates its full potential. Operators can stack and move materials more efficiently without driving deep into piles, improving manoeuvrability, safety, and productivity.

Powered by Liebherr performance and comfort

The T48-8s shares its base components with the T55-7s, including the powerful 115 kW engine, high-performance working hydraulics, and the ergonomically designed operator’s cab with excellent all-round visibility. The multifunction joystick, mounted directly to the seat, moves synchronously with the operator, ensuring intuitive and precise control at all times.

The electronic pre-control system enables the integration of Liebherr assistance systems such as Auto Power, Fine Control Mode, and Automatic Telescope Retraction. These features simplify operation, enhance efficiency, and reduce operator fatigue during extended working periods.
