Liebherr launches earthmoving machine app for operators

Liebherr has launched a new smartphone app for its earthmoving equipment giving machine operators “significant added value” information on machine operation and maintenance.

The ‘MyAssistant for Earthmoving’ app is available for wheeled excavators, material handling machines and wheel loaders of generation 6.0 and higher, as well as for crawler excavators, graders and crawler loaders, pipelayers and articulated trucks of generation 8.0 and higher.

In addition to operation and maintenance guides, the app contains the entire Liebherr operator’s manual and the ability to select and order spare parts, depending on the user’s authorisation level.

There is also a ‘Scan operating symbol’ function that the user can use to identify unknown symbols on operating panels, keyboards and switches, as well as on the control panel in the cab. Liebherr said this would be particularly useful for machine operators whose companies have a large fleet of machines, and for inexperienced operators.

After successful authentication via the MyLiebherr portal, the user has access to the full range of features of the app, with all Liebherr earthmoving and material handling machines in a company’s fleet available to the user via a drop-down menu.

The machine can then be selected via the model designation and serial number. The resulting menu offers ‘Operating instructions’, ‘Spare parts catalogue’ and ‘Scan operating symbol’, which refer exclusively to the selected machine.

The app can be downloaded free from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
