Caterpillar 906 vs Liebherr L 506 Compact
The Caterpillar 906 is about 15% heavier than the Liebherr L 506 Compact (5,500 vs 4,800 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Liebherr in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
