Liebherr restores a 60-year-old wheel loader prototype: The LSL 1500

October 28, 2020

“When developing Wheel Loaders, we deal with the latest technologies and trends on a daily basis. However, we also respect our roots. And this Wheel Loader here shows that Liebherr was getting innovative machine concepts off the ground even six decades ago,” explains Martin Gschwend, who is managing director of the Liebherr Bischofshofen plant and responsible for the worldwide distribution of Liebherr Wheel Loaders.

At the Bischofshofen facility, he is inspecting a particular rarity: a Liebherr LSL 1500 Wheel Loader from the early 1960s. It is the only remaining example of a pilot series of only five machines and is the oldest preserved Liebherr Wheel Loader in existence. The Wheel Loader specialists in Bischofshofen have lovingly and fully restored this machine over recent months.
