02. R 945 MU

The R 945 Multi-user from the Colas-Sarrazy branch

The Colas-Sarrazy branch uses an R 945, the heaviest Generation 8 model, in its “Multi-user” configuration with a 10.70 m Boom and 7.70 m Stick. The machine is in charge of cleaning the sludge tanks in one of the group’s local gravel pits. On-board systems, such as demand-driven power regulation and the Liebherr Positive Control hydraulic system, provide adequate and sufficient power to penetrate the tanks bottom. This model of nearly 45 tonnes, replacing the R 950 SME, is also distinguished by its completely new basic concept, its comfort whatever the application is and its ever better operating performance.

Our R 976 - a robust and mobile excavator for Veolia

Veolia is in the business of sorting and processing secondary raw materials. They use our R 976 to quickly load dump trucks to limit the storage time of the waste. Veolia needed a machine that was robust enough to work in a dusty environment, but at the same time offered sufficient maneuverability to move it easily and safely. Therefore, the choice fell on the R 976, which is particularly well suited for this environment.

The excavator also features a powerful engine cooling system, which reduces the risk of fire during operation, and offers a spacious, soundproof, pressure-ventilated, and dust-tight cab.

Liebherr R 940 Demolition at Melchiorre

With the R 940 Demolition, Liebherr complements its existing range of demolition excavators R 950 and R 960. The customer Melchiorre, a demolition specialist, acquired the very first model of this excavator to come out of Liebherr's production lines in Colmar.

Equipped with the Liebherr Demolition Control (LDC) as standard like all Liebherr demolition excavators, a system that allows the operator to visualize the position of the equipment and thus guarantees the stability of the excavator, the R 940 Demolition can lift higher tool weight at longer spans for more productivity.

Our P 954 C – a powerful dredging excavator for difficult sea conditions at Samsun Engineering Unit

Our customer Samsun Engineering Unit uses a Liebherr dredging excavator on the Black Sea to dredge the sea floor. With a vessel equipped with a downward-opening hold, the company can move between 500 and 750 m³ per day. The bucket volume is about 4 cm³. Because the sea is not deep, they use a short boom. This has the advantage that almost all the power can be transferred to the bucket. The P 954 works reliably and flawlessly despite the sudden difficult weather con-ditions that occur time and again.
