New excavators from Liebherr at INTERMAT

Liebherr is to introduce two new tracked excavators at Intermat in April, weighing 31 and 44 tonnes respectively. The 31 tonne R936 replaces the R934C and brings with it a Stage IIIB/Tier 4i emissions compliant engine that delivers 160kW from a four-cylinder engine.

31-tonne Liebherr’s R936 replaces the 934C
718 Liebherr is to introduce two new tracked excavators at INTERMAT in April, weighing 31 and 44 tonnes respectively.

The 31 tonne R936 replaces the R934C and brings with it a Stage IIIB/Tier 4i emissions compliant engine that delivers 160kW from a four-cylinder engine.

Developed by the Liebherr diesel engine competence centre, the new engine uses an external exhaust gas recirculation system and DPF with active regeneration to contribute to higher productivity and up to 15% higher fuel efficiency.

With better interaction between hydraulic and electronic components, Liebherr said the R936 delivers more swing torque, increased tearout and better breakout forces than the R934C.

At 44 tonnes, the heavier R950 SME slots into the range between the R946 and R956 models and in super mass excavation guise, has been developed to increase productivity in quarry applications.

Power comes from a 10.5-litre, six-cylinder common rail diesel engine producing 220kW and like that used in the R936, benefits from external exhaust gas recirculation and DPF with active regeneration to meet Stage IIIB/Tier 4i emissions regulations. With the new engine, expect up to 15% higher fuel efficiency, said the company.

  • INTERMAT sees Liebherr telehandlers get more lift
    April 13, 2012
    While lift heights remain unchanged from 10-13m, increased lift capacities can now be found across Liebherr’s four-model telehandler range, which now offers 4.1 and 5 tonne lift capabilities. And the range has been rebadged to reflect the new muscle now available. It means models numbers become TL 441-10, TL 441-13, TL 451-10 and TL 451-13. All models use a four-cylinder turbocharged engine rated at 74kW, with a hydrostatic transmission taking care of drive to all four wheels. Three steering modes remain –

    Liebherr has developed a hybrid drive system for its HS8300HD heavy duty cycle crawler crane. The 350 tonne machine generates electrical power from its hydraulic free-fall winches, which offer up to 50 tonnes of line pull. Under this Pactronic system surplus energy is stored in a hydraulic accumulator and regenerated to assist the engine, reducing fuel consumption. This reuse of energy also cuts emissions from the machine.

    Liebherr will be showcasing at INTERMAT 2012 its auxiliary power unit (APU) powering the air conditioning on its LR series lift cranes. The Switzerland-based firm says the APU allows the crane operator to turn off the engine and still stay cool – saving its owner money on fuel, service costs and residual value.
