Equipment Overview
The Liebherr T284 is a rigid dump truck built for ultra-class open-pit mining, the lightest truck with the highest payload in its class. It carries a 363-tonne nominal payload and delivers up to 2,720 kW of gross power from its standard engine, suited to major coal, copper, and iron ore operations where large hydraulic excavators keep loading cycles fast.
Power comes from an MTU 20V4000 C22 20-cylinder diesel engine producing 2,720 kW (3,648 hp) gross and 2,574 kW (3,452 hp) net at 1,800 rpm, with alternative Liebherr D9816 and MTU 20V4000 C23L engines available up to 3,000 kW. Drive comes from Liebherr’s Litronic Plus AC system, feeding induction wheel motors at the rear axle through a 43.7:1 gear ratio, with 4,500 kW of electric dynamic braking for steep, sustained descents and optional Trolley Assist for grade-assisted hauling.
