The A 918 Compact Litronic short-tail wheeled excavator, with its excellent lift capacity and high digging forces, combined with the short tail swing radius of just 1.85 m / 6’ 1”, is the ideal solution for top performance in confined spaces. At about 18 tonnes, this wheeled excavator sets new standards in its class, and not only for fuel efficiency, driving performance, and safety. The newly-developed cab, with its air cushioned operator's seat, consoles and joystick moving in sympathy with the operator, and the control unit with touchscreen function, provides the best possible conditions for long working sessions with high productivity.

All the digging tools, irrespective of whether these are backhoe buckets, swivel buckets or clamshell bucket grabbers have been developed and manufactured by Liebherr.
