Liebherr has expanded its 50-tonne crawler excavator portfolio with the introduction of three Generation 8 models: the R 948 G8, R 952 G8, and R 958 G8.

The new models are designed for distinct heavy-duty applications. The R 948 G8 is optimized for earthmoving with a focus on fuel efficiency, while the R 952 G8 serves as a versatile mid-range option. The R 958 G8 is specifically built for demanding mining and extraction environments using a robust S-HD chassis.

All three models feature reinforced structures made from high-strength steels and castings, alongside the emCAB operator’s cab, the INTUSI interface, and an automatic central lubrication system to assist with maintenance and uptime.
