R 9800 G6

The best choice for large scale mining operation

The R 9800 was designed to thrive in the toughest mining conditions. The combination of its modular design, 80,000-hour service life, and extended component lifetimes helps to maximise this machine’s time in the pit. Plus, the R 9800 can move more material with less! This efficient mining solution has the best payload capacity in its class and, thanks to Liebherr’s proprietary engine management system, Liebherr Power Efficiency – Engine Control, it can save up to 120,000 litres of fuel per year.

R 9800 highlights:

Built to last over 80,000 operational hours

With its modular design, the R 9800 can be upgraded over its lifetime during a major overhaul. The R 9800 integrates robust and reliable mining optimised components that are developed and manufacturerd by Liebherr, which ensures the best reliability and highest performance.

12% more payload capacity

Move more material per pass than any other competitor thanks to its class leading payload capacity.

120,000 litres saved per year

The R 9800 saves up to 120,000 litres of fuel per year, thanks to Liebherr’s proprietary engine management system, Liebherr Power Efficiency.

The Liebherr R 9800 is probably about 20 to 25 % in front of what we budgeted the machine to be digging at. The cycle times are just out of this world compared to what we’ve seen at Bengalla in the past. It’s really, really impressed.
