Intermat launch for Liebherr wheeled excavators

2012 sees the start of a new wheeled excavator programme from Liebherr, and the A916 represents the first fruit from the project. Replacing the A316 Litronic, the new A916 has been developed to meet Stage IIIB emissions requirements and has an operating weight from 17-18.1 tonnes depending on specification. Power comes from a four-cylinder 110kW engine with common rail fuel injection, EGR and DOC – a DPF is available as an optional extra for those working inside buildings.

Leibherr A916 wheeled excavator live at INTERMAT

2012 sees the start of a new wheeled excavator programme from 718 Liebherr, and the A916 represents the first fruit from the project.

Replacing the A316 Litronic, the new A916 has been developed to meet Stage IIIB emissions requirements and has an operating weight from 17-18.1 tonnes depending on specification.

Power comes from a four-cylinder 110kW engine with common rail fuel injection, EGR and DOC – a DPF is available as an optional extra for those working inside buildings.

With more power than its predecessor, the A916 packs better hill-climbing ability on the road, reducing travel times between job sites. The machine features a larger fuel tank - 360 litres, up from 290 litres – and the use of LED-type white marker lights and red LED tail lights to bring greater durability and reduced service costs to the machine

    Engcon has introduced a new range of tilt-rotators, using a cast housing to greatly increase capacity. The EC218 and EC226 replace the EC15 and EC20 respectively. The former is suitable for machines up to 18tonnes in operating weight, while the latter is designed for excavators up to 26 tonnes. The cast housing incorporates internal lubrication channels for centralised greasing, reducing the risk of dust ingress or damage while operating. Larger bushes are used to reduce the chance of play in the housing
