Interesting facts about the R 9800
• The Liebherr R 9800 has two 16-cylinder V-engines, each one with 1,492kW
• Because it has two engines running (Cummins 16V QSK 60 and MTU 12V 4000 series), the R 9800 requires 20,000 liters of diesel.
• Although Liebherr’s R 9800 is 30 percent bigger than the rest of its excavator models, it actually consumes only 15 percent more fuel.
• As the world’s largest mining excavator, Liebherr has taken special precaution to safety. The company has installed an array of safety features, including a secured stairway at the top structure, high railings on specific angles and an abundance of service lights positioned on every service point possible.
