Particulars Cat 972L Liebherr L580
Overview Summary

The Cat 972L and Liebherr L580 are both powerful wheel loaders designed for large-scale operations. Each model brings its strengths to the table, with Cat 972L boasting higher engine power and torque, along with advanced emission controls, while the Liebherr L580 offers a higher bucket capacity and innovative driveline controls.

Cat 972L Wheel Loader

Pros:
  • Higher engine power at 302 HP for demanding tasks
  • Advanced emission control with U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IV
  • Higher max torque providing better operational efficiency
  • Feature-rich with standard AC cabin and GPS
  • High breakout force of 196 kN for tough digging operations
  • Equal forward and reverse speeds of 39.5 km/h for swift maneuvering
  • Load-Sensing Hydraulic System ensures efficient operations
Cons:
  • Somewhat lower bucket capacity range starting from 3.4 m³
  • Turning radius information not provided, which may affect considerations for space constraints

Liebherr L580 Wheel Loader

Pros:
  • Fuel-efficient engine technology with a powerful 298 HP motor
  • Higher bucket capacity fixed at 5.2 m³ suitable for large-scale operations
  • Larger fuel tank at 450 L reducing refueling frequency
  • Innovative self-locking hydrostatic driveline for enhanced control
  • Increased tipping load capacities (both straight and full turn)
  • Higher payload capacity at 8640 kg
Cons:
  • Lower maximum pump flow rate which may affect hydraulic operations
  • Optional GPS system, whereas the competitor provides it as standard
  • No information on max dump angle and various roll back angles
