In the third edition of Groundbreaking, come with us on a journey to Australia to learn more about the first Liebherr machine in Australia to work in a mineral sands application and the bucket customisation that made it possible. We take a closer look at the Liebherr components used in our mining equipment that keep our machines running smoothly. There’s also a deep dive on some of our excavator technology: discover how our patented Liebherr Power Efficiency systems help reduce fuel consumption and learn more about our electric excavators, which we’ve been developing for more than 40 years! Plus, we take a look at how our Special Applications team modify our equipment to be used outside of the pit! Find all of these stories, plus so many others, in this edition of Groundbreaking!
