SmartBolts

Overtightening overstresses a fastener past its clamp force limit.

The bolt fails. The joint follows. Your heavy equipment goes down and so does production. Torque readings won't warn you... they don't reflect true tension inside the joint.

SmartBolts® eliminate that uncertainty. The built-in Visual Indication System™ provides real-time tension feedback, going from red to black as the bolt stretches, so operators stop at the correct clamp force—every time.

The result? Less time re-torquing, more uptime and your production keeps moving. Swipe through to see how SmartBolts keep your equipment running safely and reliably👇

Keep your people out of the line of fire for routine mobile excavator inspections.

Traditional inspections often require technicians to enter hazardous areas or perform live work just to confirm equipment condition. Liebherr Smart Bearings and SmartBolts® change how that information is gathered.

Liebherr's Smart Bearings technology enables remote monitoring of slew bearing alignment, allowing operators to view bearing performance from a safe distance, often from the cabin. The system can be used on demand and integrated into existing platforms.

SmartBolts® provide a real-time visual indicator of bolt tension through a simple color change. The red-to-black transition confirms when the bolt has reached the proper tension. This supports safer maintenance and reduces the need for disassembly during checks.

Together, they replace physical inspection with remote measurement and visual confirmation at the source.
