Crawler Excavator Compact
Compact, versatile, connected
The crawler excavator models R 915 Compact, R 917 Compact and R 920 Compact have been developed to meet today’s jobsite requirements while adapting to market needs. They combine compact design, performance and operator comfort.

Operator comfort and experience redefined with the emCAB cab and INTUSI
The new emCAB cab places the operator at the heart of performance. Combined with the INTUSI operating system, it offers an intuitive and customizable interface that simplifies operation and optimizes every movement. The precision joysticks, perfectly integrated, ensure smooth and ergonomic control, even during extended use. The optimized console and intelligent technologies improve operational efficiency while reducing fatigue. With an optimized human-machine interface, the working environment becomes more comfortable, more controlled and the machine overall more productive.

R 917 Compact – A class of its own

Maximum efficiency in confined spaces
As a new model on the market, the R 917 Compact stands out with a compact tail swing radius of only 1,700 mm.
This new development responds to increasing requirements and the growing number of urban jobsites.
Its compact design allows:
- increased safety when working in confined spaces
- maximum flexibility and mobility on the jobsite
- as well as optimized transportability between different worksites

Compared to the R 915 Compact G8, the R 917 Compact G8 offers higher lifting and digging forces as well as improved performance. It represents the ideal compromise without needing to move up to the next model, the R 920 Compact.
The R 917 Compact G8 impresses with its high versatility and can be equipped with numerous attachments. As an option, the Liebherr hydraulic quick coupler system and the LIKUFIX quick change system are available.
With LIKUFIX, hydraulic and mechanical attachments can be changed safely and conveniently directly from the cab — for maximum productivity and outstanding operating comfort.
