28 May 2025 CW Team

Timber handling requires machines that are both reliable and precise. At Ligna 2025, Liebherr will showcase the T 60-9s telescopic handler, a model well-suited to the challenges of the wood industry.

With a lifting capacity of up to six tons and a maximum lifting height of nine meters, the T 60-9s offers flexibility for tasks like moving logs, timber stacks, and finished wood elements. The machine’s electronically controlled hydraulics enable smooth, responsive operation, even during more delicate handling tasks.

Safety and ease of use have been priorities in its design. Systems like Auto Power, Load Moment Plus, and overload alerts help assists the operator during demanding work. Auto Hill Assist, for example, supports the operator in the precise manipulation of heavy loads on steep or uneven terrain, ideal for challenging conditions often found in timber yards.

The cab provides good visibility of the working area and attachments. A large color display provides all vital machine data, while the control layout is designed to be intuitive and reduce strain during long shifts.

Built for demanding environments, the T 60-9s includes features like a reinforced boom guide and underbody protection. It also supports a variety of attachments for different applications. Whether in the yard, in production, or on a busy timber site, this machine delivers strength, reliability, and precision, effortlessly moving heavy loads to new heights in the heart of the woodworking and wood handling industry.
