Liebherr large excavator series recommendation, excavators over 40 tons Liebherr has a great influence in the construction machinery industry. The two core Liebherr excavators, performance and stability, are sought after by everyone. In addition, some forward-looking designs and diversified design concepts have made Liebherr excavators appear more and more frequently in the public eye.
Among the 6 large excavators introduced today, the special working types and standard excavators bring users more convenient working conditions. First, let us introduce the special model R940 Demolition Litronic, which focuses on the demolition or high building work. The extended boom and dipper can demolish high-rise buildings, especially the hydraulically adjustable cockpit angle greatly improves the operator's comfortable working angle inside. This type also includes the R950 Demolition Litronic model. The two have different equipment weights and different working heights. The theoretical working range is 4-7 floors in the conventional floor.
The R950 Tunnel Litronic model is still a tunnel engineering machinery. In the last issue, we briefly introduced that there is basically no big difference in the design and appearance of different small tonnage models. Of course, special models are not unable to participate in conventional earthwork. The manufacturer has basically upgraded the boom and dipper. This is a powerful user who can completely purchase the matching standard version for replacement. Installation and use are not complicated.
The remaining models are all conventional versions of hydraulic motor excavators. The specific parameters and performance can be compared below in the article. Some information quoted from the network data may have errors. Users who like Liebherr can check the local official website. Some models have no sales channels in some countries. Users who want to buy can also buy used excavators as a substitute in addition to importing.
The environmental emissions of these models can meet the emission standards of Europe and other countries. In addition to introducing these models, today we will compare Liebherr excavators with other brands to explain why this brand is well received in the industry.
From the appearance, Liebherr has always maintained the main color yellow and the white color of the cockpit, which seems a bit outdated and even mismatched nowadays. The appearance design has always maintained a very conservative design concept. Compare the appearance design of Japanese and European and American new excavators. It feels very mediocre. But the appearance of an excavator is the least important. The working environment and work type of an excavator are also relatively bad. Good product quality rate and reliability are the foundation of Liebherr's foothold in the field of engineering machinery.
When it comes to Liebherr used excavators, the first thing people compare when buying used excavators may be the price. After all, users who choose used excavators want to buy better excavators with less money. However, Liebherr excavators have a very high value retention rate in the industry. As long as the product itself does not have major accidents or hidden faults, the second-hand residual value of Liebherr excavators of the same model and factory date is about 20%-30% higher than other excavator brands. Of course, models such as Caterpillar, Kato, and Sumitomo also have a high value retention rate in the market.
Through user exchanges, it was learned that some of the Liebherr excavators sold by Tiedou from 2016 to 2020 were sold and repurchased by local users in a circular trading form. Some models were sold at a price higher than the purchase price after 2 years of use. There are many such cases for first-line brands, especially in East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and some European countries. Many people have become famous local used engineering machinery merchants by purchasing used excavators from Tiedou and reselling them domestically.

Whether there are risks in used excavators, this is certain. Used excavators will inevitably wear out after a few years of use. The purchase channel and the integrity and reliability of partners become the basis for long-term cooperation. The used excavators sold and provided by Tiedou are carried out with the most stringent standards in both inspection and testing. Users also arrange for professional engineers to inspect the equipment on site. If you like Liebherr, you must be very knowledgeable about construction machinery and very smart to choose Liebherr. You will not regret buying it.
