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…
