LRB 18 Piling and drilling rig (LRB series)

The all-round piling and drilling rig LRB 18 owes its name to the sledge’s travel distance of 18 m. It convinces with compact design and low operating weight, which results in low ground pressure. This ensures quick set-up on site as well as flexibility in transferring the machine between different jobsites. One of the most frequent types of application for the LRB 18 is the installation of sheet piles. Additionally, the machine is suitable for other common foundation work including drilling with continuous flight auger or double rotary head, soil mixing and piling work with a hydraulic hammer.

Economic fuel consumption

Economic fuel consumption

Innovative hydraulic concepts achieve high performance and keep fuel consumption low, despite reduced engine power.

Obstacle recognition

Obstacle recognition

An improvement for slurry wall application is the obstacle recognition, which enables the timely detection of obstacles in the soil. This protects both the attachment and the basic machine. more

Easy transportation and quick set-up

Easy transportation and quick set-up

Basic machine and leader can be transported in one piece with all hydraulic hoses connected. The minimized assembly work allows for quick and easy transportation of the machine between jobsites.

Eco silent mode

Eco silent mode

With the eco silent mode the engine speed can be reduced to a predefined, required level. With this feature a notable reduction in diesel consumption can be achieved without any impact on operational output. Noise emissions are thus also lowered.

Automatic engine stop

Automatic engine stop

Automatic engine stop

The machine can optionally be equipped with an automatic engine stop control. Thanks to this feature it automatically switches off during longer work breaks after evaluating several machine parameters. This is fuel saving and environmentally friendly.
