The R 9800 is built to outperform all competitors in the Ultra class mining market. As a perfect loader for 240 t, 290 t and 360 t class mining trucks, the R 9800 is the right match for the Liebherr T 264, T 274 and T 284. Developed as the optimal loading tool for large scale mining operations, the R 9800 can achieve the most challenging targets.

Proven mining engine

The R 9800 can be optioned with two versions of diesel drive systems. Customers can choose between Liebherr or Cummins as their preferred engine partner. An optional electric drive system provides outstanding performance when the machine is used in the most specific conditions. The R 9800 combines flexibility and productivity to meet customer expectations.

Fast cycle time

Rather than using open hydraulic circuit, the R 9800 employs a closed-loop swing circuit to enable maximum swing torque while retaining the full oil flow for the working circuit. The independent swing circuit in combination with the powerful drive system leads to fast arm motion, which contributes to faster cycle times.

Precise machine motions

The R 9800 design integrates the Litronic Plus electronic control system to allow for easy control even when simultaneous movements are required. The patented Liebherr electronic damping system provides controlled end-cushioning for smooth attachment motions.

High digging forces & power-oriented energy management

Designed for the best mechanical force distribution, the production-tailored attachment delivers high digging and lifting forces. Integrating Liebherr-made cylinders and a wide range of buckets, the R 9800s attachment ensures the highest forces, easy bucket penetration and high fill factor to perform even in the most demanding conditions.
