Suspensions
Front Suspension System System design Double A-frame with inclined king pin for minimum scrub distance Suspension strut Nitrogen/oil with integral damping and cushioning pad for both over stroke and rebound stroke. High component interchangeability with rear struts Rear Suspension System System design Three-bar linkage with triangular upper link to safely transfer 100 % of all side loads from the frame into the rear axle. Two drag links transfer all longitudinal driving forces directly into the two frame girders Suspension strut Nitrogen/oil with integral damping and cushioning pad for both over stroke and rebound stroke. High component interchangeability with front struts The Liebherr rear suspension system is unique in that it avoids problems normally associated with nose cone and other linkage designs. It also allows less side motion of the rear tires during axle oscillation which provides for a wider and more stable stance of the rear suspension struts.

Frame
Material High strength steel with high impact resistance (high charpy), good fatigue properties and good weldability. Steel castings in stress concentration areas Design Closed box structure with multiple tubular cross members and internal stiffeners Welding Both frame girders welded inside and out with 100 % ultrasonic inspection to AWS D 1.1. Liebherr truck frames were developed using computer aided design, finite element analysis and 3-D modeling. The combination of high strength steel, quality welding and modern manufacturing procedures insures a frame with exceptional durability and superior resistance to high impact loads.

Chassis
Frame
Two rail, hollow box frame manufactured from high strength steel. Torque tubes connect the two frame rails to absorb warping stresses. This, plus the independent cross carriage results in a strong, lighter weight frame. Frame rails are welded inside and out. Stress ow designed cast steel components are used in high stress areas. The unique independent Cross Carriage transfers forces from the rear axle and the dump cylinders in a straight, direct line into the frame rails.

Suspension

The T 252 features a Double A-frame Front Suspension. This unique geometry allows the tire contact point to move up and down in a straight line during travel and loading. Immediate and accurate payload weighing is possible since there are no side loads on the struts. Due to the A-frames lever action design there is longer vertical wheel travel than strut travel, resulting in reduced tire deection.

The unique Rear Wheel Suspension replaces the traditional nose cone with two Drag Links and a triangular Rear Control Arm. All forces from the rear axle are transferred into the truck frame in straight lines. Two Suspension Struts transfer all loads from the frame via the top of the axle box directly into the wheels. This allows for a shorter, lighter frame and does not create any torque within the axle box, saving weight.

Service Accessibility
The electrical DC-drive system of the T 252 has few service points. Preventive maintenance and required service for the complete truck are reduced accordingly. All control components for the complete travel drive and secondary systems as well as the resistor grid box for retarding are located on the upper deck for easy and fast access. Ladders left and right allow safe access to the engine compartment. All joints, bushings and bearings requiring lubrication on a regular basis are connected to six grouped locations serviceable from ground level. Automatic lubrication at predetermined intervals is an option. All service requiring lters for engine and hydraulic systems are accessible from the ground or from the engine service platforms. The exclusive Liebherr front wheel suspension transfers less stress into the horse collar. This design provides for a bigger opening inside the horse collar which in turn allows for excellent walkaround engine access with service platforms for safe footing. The lockable service center allows for easy service from ground level for: Fuel, hydraulic systems for hoist, steering and service brakes, coolant IN and engine oil.

Air lter gauges are located inside the cab indicating the actual lter status.

Test ports for the sampling of coolant, engine oil, dump and brake/steering hydraulic uids are accessible from ground.

Saftey Features
Access from ground for the components of the steering and dumping system which require regular service. Safe Access to all engine components. Service platforms on either side provide excellent access. Cab set back for protection in case of a rear end collision. Two stair ladders with handrails lead safely to and from the upper deck, one on either side of the radiator. Other set-ups are optional. Operator adjustable cruise control for retarding. Will bring truck down to and hold at set speed. The T 252 system will retard with up to 2983 kW/ 4000 hp on a continuous basis. Automatic Two Speed Over Speed automatically limits maximum speed by reducing propel torque or by applying retarding power. Separate settings for loaded and empty truck. Fire Prevention by Design: Fuel and hydraulics carrying components and heat sources are separated as much as feasible. Critical hydraulic hoses are encased in non permeable hose sleeves. Exhaust pipes are covered and insulated by special non burning tubes impervious to oil. They are preshaped to t each individual pipe section.
