Built for when the going gets tough
The R 9400 can be relied upon to provide top-notch performance again and again and again. With its class-leading payload capacity and a service life of more than 60,000 operational hours, this powerful piece of digging equipment will be a high-performing and reliable partner for the long term. And with its modular design, the R 9400 can easily be repowered, retrofitted, or upgraded with the technology of the future. Plus, this hydraulic excavator comes equipped with Liebherr’s D9812 V12 powertrain meaning customers only need one point of contact for their maintenance needs, therefore keeping this workhorse of an excavator working harder for longer.

We needed to find a machine that would provide better availability than the wheel loader while still matching the 240-tonne truck. Liebherr came to the table with the R 9400. They also took the extra step to develop an optimised bucket for the machine. We’ve actually seen about a 40% gain in our production in the last three months.

We develop our mining machines in a modular way so that we can constantly upgrade or retrofit them with alternative drives. Our excavators are no exception to this philosophy. In Australia, for example, we retrofitted an R 9400 diesel excavator produced in 2010 with an electric drivetrain, turning it into an R 9400 E.
