Liebherr
In General:
Liebherr construction machines can be identified from the following numbers:
|
The VIN can be used to determine the power trains installed when the vehicle was first delivered. It is also possible to do this in reverse order.
| VIN >> Power train = Yes
Power train >> VIN = Yes |
(as long as the article code and the serial number are present)
As a matter of routine, Liebherr construction machines are always painted in “Liebherr Yellow”. But customer wishes will be taken into account.
