Ultimate comfort with ergonomic design

Liebherr Mining Assistance Systems

The Best Performance. Easy.

Available today inside the R 9600, the Liebherr Assistance Systems are advanced onboard applications designed to support operators to become more efficient through analytics and actionable insights from live data. It will help the operator to get optimal productivity and efficiency by providing realtime operational datas.

Bucket Filling Assistant

First automation product of the Liebherr hydraulic excavator portfolio, this combination of two innovative engineering developments is an optional feature that allows easier bucket filling and consistent bucket fill factor, especially in blocky or hard digging conditions. As a result overall productivity improves while operator's fatigue decreases.

Anti-Stalling Function: Prevents the bucket from being stalled during the digging phase.

Semi-Automatic Bucket Filling Function: Allows the operator to realize the bucket filling process automatically.

  • Less operator fatigue
  • Increased productivity
  • Better fill-factor
  • Continuous efficiency

High Performance Execution

Thanks to its innovative attachment solution improving cost per tonne, maximizing machine productivity and improving component lifetime, Liebherr redefines performance standards in the 600t class.

  • Use of smart components design to reduce weight, improve bucket protection and increase digging forces:

When mining applications become demanding, Liebherr attachment solutions provide best in class fatigue resistance and productivity. Using hollow pins and aluminium covers on all attachment points, Liebherr engineers are able to install bigger buckets, which enable higher performances.

Liebherr Power Efficiency

Use only the power and the hydraulic flow you require

Specific engine and hydraulic management, drastically reducing fuel consumption.

  • Maximize hydraulic efficiency
  • Reduce hydraulic throttling and load profile of the engine for increased component lifetime

Safety & Serviceability

The R 9600 provides safe machine accessibility and wide catwalks for inspection.

The uppercarriage has been designed for easier maintenance and quicker service. The central service area provides the staff accessibility to all features, which reduces potential downtimes. Refill and drain points of the R 9600 are well accessible from the ground with fast couplings and depressuraized valves.

Diverse powertrain offering

The R 9600 can be fitted with different powertrain options:

  • Diesel: 2x QSK50 Cummins - 2,500 kW / 3,350 HP
  • Diesel: 2x D9812 Liebherr – 2,700 kW / 3,620 HP
  • Electric: 2,400 kW / 3,220 HP
