Crawler excavators in quarrying
Liebherr has more than 60 years of experience in the design and production of crawler excavators. Powerful, efficient, high-performance Liebherr machines are deployed to advantage in extraction, materials processing or even large-scale earthmoving. They load breakers, sifting systems and trucks. Liebherr special machines offer both exceptional power and low fuel consumption, the ideal combination for the extraction industry.
Performance, cost-effectiveness, reliability, comfort and ease of maintenance are our crawler excavators’ assets. They offer maximum ease of maintenance, which means less downtime. With their ultra-modern engine management system, they are highly efficient even under extreme operating conditions.
The R 992 crawler excavator: performance and low emissions at CMSE
CMSE (Carrières et Matériaux Sud-Est) is the first customer in France to acquire a new-generation 6.2 crawler excavator.
The R 992 is a robust 94-tonne excavator, specially equipped for extracting abrasive materials. The quarry where CMSE's R 992 operates produces, distributes and sells aggregates for construction sites. After blasting, the excavator loads the pieces of rock into the 3 dumpers that take the material to the crushing station.
Our customer chose a Liebherr G6.2 excavator because they wanted a robust, high-performance machine with low fuel consumption. The 5.2 and 6.2 generations also feature technological innovations such as Liebherr Bucket Fill Assist (BFA) and Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE).
Our R 980 SME excavator, a unique model for our customer Traineau
To carry out the exploitation of its granite quarry in Aizenay, our customer, Traineau, has chosen our R 980 SME excavator. Offering a global view on the crusher from the cab as well as a reduced fuel consumption, our machine achieves strong performance in terms of lifting and offers every operator a new, unique way of working. Moreover, the comfort it provides is non-negligible: the electric joysticks, the opening of the hatch with the remote control, the suspension of the seat and the interior and exterior soundproofing are all advantages that allow us to say that the R 980 SME offers incomparable flexibil-ity and ergonomics.
After 455 hours of working with our excavator, Traineau is more than satisfied with our services, especially since the front shovel makes loading easier and faster.
The R 980 SME excavator, the ideal tool for mining solid rock
Our customer Traineau chose our R 980 SME excavator because it has proven to be effective in its granite mining opera-tions. Used in a standard mining process, i.e. in activities such as mining, crushing, front-end loading and transportation, our excavator was designed to meet the needs of our customers, and its advantages make it the best machine to choose in quarrying.

Graniterie Petitjean: two Liebherr R 956 crawler excavators in the last granite quarries in the Vosges
At the Senones and La Bresse quarries, R 956 machines are mainly used for moving and repositioning large blocks. Rather than purchase price, it was total product lifetime cost that influenced the decision to buy these two approximately 55-tonne machines.
Our R 970 SME makes for comfortable working days at Duron
The robustness, reliability as well as the ergonomics of our machines was the determining factor for our customer, who is responsible for dismantling. The cab comfort, which not only makes for smoother working conditions, also has a more comfortable seat.

Our customer Vitse, satisfied with our trusted products for generations
Our customer, Vitse, chose the R 956 excavator for his demolition and earthmoving work because he has always been satisfied with our equipment, which he has used for three generations. His criteria of choice? Consumption, price and performance. With its safe long arm, its interchangeable equipment and its reduced fuel consumption of 33 liters per hour, our machine has met our customer's expectations. The heated seats, the spacious cab and the extremely advanced technology of the R 956 excavator allowed Vitse to operate smoothly for 456 hours while remaining reliable and efficient.
Our R 956 excavator, a multifunctional machine used in demolition and felling work
The demolition of buildings with earthmoving equipment carried out by our customer Vitse requires powerful and reliable equipment. With its long arm, the R 956 excavator can easily be used for felling, as is the case on the Laon site in the Aisne. Thus, our excavator used initially with a concrete crusher, can also be used as a sorting clamp or with a concrete crusher for preparation, before finishing to tear off the remaining foundations with a bucket.
Our R 976 excavator rhymes with comfort for our customer Minier
For his daily extraction and loading work in his limestone quarry, Minier has chosen our R 976 excavator, which is synonymous with practicality and above all comfort.

The R 976, capable of meeting the special conditions of a limestone site
The crusher on the limestone site of our Minier customer is located high up in the ground and requires very specific operating conditions. Our R 976 excavator with its raised cab and long boom without any offset was developed to meet the special needs of our customer. Thus, its 5m3 bucket allows our customer to utilize daily and to correctly feed its crusher with screen at the back. The performance of our excavator allows our customer to produce concrete gravel in 0/20 and 0/31,5 for platforms and roads, as well as limestone intended for agricultural fields.
