Equipment Overview
The Liebherr R9800 is an 800 to 810-tonne mining excavator, the flagship of Liebherr’s mining excavator range, developed as the optimal loading tool for large-scale mining operations. It’s the right match for the Liebherr T264 and T284 mining trucks, forming a pairing suited to 240, 290 and 360-tonne class trucks. Engineered for optimum serviceability, the machine is designed to ensure maximum uptime, and a modern cab creates a comfortable working environment to support peak operator performance every shift.
Power comes from a diesel engine producing 2,984 kW (4,000 hp) at 1,800 rpm, with a choice of Cummins or MTU as the preferred engine partner and an electric drive version also available. Bucket capacity is 42.0 m³ in both shovel and backhoe configuration, and bucket digging force reaches 1,760 kN. Maximum digging depth is 9 m, and the machine’s ultra-high-flow hydraulic system with advanced load-sensing technology delivers exceptional digging force and smooth, efficient operation for the largest surface mining sites in the world.
