With all the talk as of late about Liebherr’s R9800 and the carwash we decided to check out Don Campbell’s version of the R9800. This machine was just delivered at the DHS Diecast Open House.

We can’t say we found it first but this is by far a very interesting way to take advantage of the power of a big bucket…. Fill with 54.90 yd³ @ 3,000 lb/yd³ of water…rinse spin and repeat… more here…

This fall Komatsu America Corp. launched the new 860E-1K electric drive rigid frame dump truck. With a nominal payload of 254 metric tons (280 short tons) — and a factory installed trolley-capable option — the 860E will be the latest in a broad selection of fast and powerful mining trucks manufactured for distribution across the globe.

The first Hitachi EX8000-6 works at the Mt. Keith nickel mine in western Australia. The mine is owned by BHP Billiton. The EX8000-6 uses two Cummins QSK60-C Tier 2 engines and has a bucket capacity of 52.3 cubic yards/40 m3.
The new Dash-6 mining excavators feature new higher horsepower Tier-2 Cummins engines and an enhanced cab with better visibility, a new air-suspension operator’s seat, a new widescreen color LCD multifunction monitor, and new low-effort short-throw levers with electric fly by wire. An updated monitoring system measures 58 items versus 12 from previous models. And starting with the EX2500-6 and larger sized machines, there’s a new 45-degree folding-type service stairway for easier access to the upper areas of the excavator.
At the MINExpo 2008 in Las Vegas, Liebherr announced the R 9800 Mining Excavator. Rated at 800 tons of service weight the R 9800 provides a nominal bucket capacity of 38 to 42 m³ at a material density of 1,8 t/m³. This new flagship of Liebherr mining excavators’ range is targeting bucket loads of 75 tons in both versions, as a backhoe and a shovel execution.
Update: Also you won’t believe what some guys in German did with the machine. Here is a picture…
