 The New Benchmark.
The New Liebherr Ultra Large Hydraulic Excavator
Powered by two 1492 kW / 2000 hp diesel engines, the Liebherr R 9800 provides
a large 42 m bucket capacity. Combined with fast cycle times and outstanding
breakout and digging forces, the machine offers high loading performance and
is a perfect match for 220, 290 and 360 t class trucks. The R 9800 is born to
perform.

 Performance by Design
With over 50 years of proven experience and innovation in designing and
manufacturing hydraulic excavators, Liebherr has developed the optimal
loading tool for large scale mining operations: The R 9800.

Focused on Reliability, Efficiency and Maximum

Working Hours
Liebherr has employed its decades of design and manufacturing experience
and latest technologies to the overall reliability and productivity of the R 9800.
This was done in order to fulfill todays requirements in mining and to achieve
the maximum working hours per day. The overall performance of the machi-
ne is based on Liebherrs robust hydraulic and auxiliary systems, delivering
maximum uptime. The R 9800 represents the latest proven technologies
available on the market.

Comfortable, Ergonomic and Safe Working

Environment
Liebherrs conception for its ultra large hydraulic excavator integrates the latest
ergonomic and safety principles in order to create the best possible working
environment for the operator and service crews. The spacious and super-silent
cab, with its large front windshield, offers an excellent all-around view of the
working area.

To reduce downtime, the R 9800s conception is focused on ergonomic, safe

and comfortable serviceability, offering easy inspection access and short main-
tenance times. All service fluids can easily and quickly be exchanged or refilled
through the service flap. Combined with extended service intervals of up to
1.000 SMU, Liebherrs R 9800 is the basis for maximum production hours.

Engine Options High machine efciency

Two Cummins QSK 60 Oversized cooling system for low fan power
(2984 kW / 4000 hp @1800 rpm) consumption
Two MTU 12V4000 Increased pipe and hose diameters for im-
(2850 kW / 3820 hp @1800 rpm) proved hydraulic efciency
TIER 2 setting (optional: fuel Electronic and optimized attachment control
consumption optimized setting) for faster combined movements and
optimized cycle time
Backhoe and Shovel attachment designed
to achieve ideal force distribution over the
digging area and high production rates
