With an operating weight of over 650 tonnes, the R 996 Litronic crawler excavator is the flagship of the Liebherr hydraulic excavator fleet. Its enormous direct excavation force, its reliability and its long lifetime guarantee high performance at low operating costs. The R 996 Litronic is modular in design. All its assemblies can be inexpensively transported by low-bed truck or by ship and mounted in the mine. In addition, the modular design minimises downtime for maintenance or replacing components.
