Liebherr’s new 31 XXT truck mounted concrete pump excels on small jobsites

Following extensive testing, Liebherr has introduced the 31 XXT truck mounted concrete pump, the smallest pump type in its 30-metre series. 

The 31 XXT is designed to include a compact five-part distribution boom that delivers a low unfolding height of 5.4 metres. Mud Pump

This means the pump provides maximum flexibility on smaller and cramped construction sites. The strength of the boom concept is particularly beneficial when working indoors.

The new LiDriveIn function is a highlight of the new truck mounted pump when working in construction sites with low ceiling heights. Thanks to LiDriveIn, the 31 XXT can enter a building in standard operation with the arm package folded in front of the driver’s cab. 

To bring the arm package folded forward, it is not necessary to swing out the outrigger legs. Instead, only the cylinders must be moved downwards. The machine operator lifts the cylinders again and can enter the hall with the arm package in front of the driver’s cab. 

Now, support can be provided as desired, in full, partial or single-sided support. 

In the hall, the concrete pump boom can be easily unfolded in front of the driver’s cab thanks to the short arm segments and the low unfolding height.

This way, the last centimetres can be saved. For load reasons, the LiDriveIn function is only quoted in combination with a four-axle chassis.

Liebherr’s storage systems for hoses and pipes allow about 90 metres of conveyor lines to be carried. 

After swinging out the concrete pump’s outriggers, all bearing magazines are accessible. As well, it is possible to store lines in diameters DN80/100/125. Due to the design of the magazine with individual pipes, each cable segment carried can be removed individually at will. 

Another highlight of the new 31 XXT is Liebherr’s proven Powerbloc pump drive unit. It is characterized by fully integrating all hydraulic switching and measuring elements. This eliminates the need for numerous hydraulic hoses and other components previously required. As well, the drive unit provides high performance while minimizing noise.  

The new drive unit is combined with the highly efficient semi-closed oil circuit, which supplies all drives powerfully and reliably with hydraulic energy. As a result, the oil volume could be significantly reduced. 

The new Liebherr system combines the advantages of the proven open and closed circuits currently on the market, without their respective disadvantages.
