Generation 8 Mining technologies
The latest Liebherr Mining technologies will be available on the R 9300 as a Generation 8 excavator, following the same technology platform as the R 9600 Generation 8 excavator launched in 2021. This Generation 8 technology not only provides increased operational performance, but enables future product requirements such as automation and zero emission options.
Setting new standards in the mining industry, the R 9300 is equipped with Liebherr Assistance Systems. These advanced on-board applications are designed to support operators to become more efficient through analytics and actionable insights from live data.
Liebherr’s first step in hydraulic excavator automation, the Bucket Filling Assistant, is available as an option for the backhoe version of the R 9300. The Bucket Filling Assistant is an adaptive or semi-autonomous digging function which allows for easier and faster bucket filling, improving overall productivity and reducing operator fatigue.
The Generation 8 technology also supports the latest Digital Services, a suite of data-driven products aimed to further support customers with equipment performance, asset health, connectivity, and maintenance.
Zero Emission Program: Efficient and sustainable drive options
Complimenting Liebherr Mining’s roadmap to zero emission mining equipment, the R 9300 offers optimal performance with reduced fuel consumption and emissions, improving efficiency of the overall machine. Liebherr Power Efficiency, available as standard on the R 9300, is a proprietary management system for the engine and hydraulic system controls which substantially reduces fuel consumption without compromising the overall productivity of the machine, providing a low emission solution.
The R 9300’s engines are available in FCO and US EPA Tier 4 / EU Stage V (with SCR after-treatment technology). Further, the R 9300 can be configured in either diesel or electric drive, with the electric drive able to take advantage of the Liebherr cable reeler solution. A fully autonomous solution with up to 300m of length, the cable reeler enables management of the cable during operation and provides better mobility of the machine, optimises safety, and reduces the number of crew required for cable handling.
