Liebherr and Leica Geosystems deliver first hydraulic excavator
Liebherr and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, have been partners in the machine control systems area since last year. A Liebherr R 934 G8 crawler excavator, the first hydraulic excavator with a factory-fitted Leica Geosystems machine control system, has recently been delivered to Brad-Pave in Great Britain.
The partnership between Liebherr and Leica Geosystems allowed Liebherr customers to purchase generation 6 and 8 crawler excavators and wheeled excavators with a factory-fitted 2D and 3D machine control system as an option.
The generation 8 R 934 crawler excavator comes with the Leica 3D passive system and will be soon updated with a semi-automatic system featuring an automatic inclination and rotation function. The 7.1 tonne counterweight and 800 mm pads ensure good stability in all conditions. The machine has run-up 350 hours on the clock since delivery.
According to the company’s director Paul Bradshaw, the machine control system is critical. It's the key to accurate and effective work.
