This year’s Bauma will see a special première: Liebherr is presenting two new wheeled excavators to the public for the first time. The A 909 Compact and the A 911 Compact are two new models in the nine and eleven tonne classes, respectively, that expand the Liebherr wheeled excavator portfolio. The A 909 Compact and the A 911 Compact are powerful machines that set new standards in their respective classes and offer customers an optimal solution for demanding applications.

With these two machines, Liebherr is expanding its extensive portfolio of wheeled excavators: for the first time, there will be two wheeled excavators operating in the nine and eleven tonne class. The new wheeled excavators impress with their combination of a well-thought-out machine concept and user-friendly operation. Due to their robust construction and high performance, they are particularly applicable for efficient work. At the same time, their versatility allows them to be optimally adapted to different operating conditions and requirements.

The A 909 Compact and A 911 Compact impress with their compact design and small tail swing radius (1.50 m and 1.60 m, respectively) and front swing radius (2.00 m and 2.10 m, respectively). The dimensions of the turning circle of just 3.86 m also underscore the compactness of the two machines. The same applies to the minimum turning circle. In combination with the total weight of 9.7 tonnes for the A 909 and 10.8 tonnes for the A 911, both wheeled excavators can be used safely and flexibly even in confined spaces.

High flexibility in use thanks to maximum performance
In addition, the two wheeled excavators impress with their great stability and enormous digging forces, ensuring high handling performance and productivity – even when working in hard soils. The powerful engine has an output of either 55 kW or 80 kW and, depending on the version, is equipped with an SCR system and intercooler. The perfectly coordinated hydraulic system enables flexible, parallel work movements with an optimal supply to all users. At the same time, it ensures maximum performance of both machines and has a positive effect on fuel consumption. Thanks to the perfectly coordinated overall design of the machine, both the A 909 Compact and the A 911 Compact impress with sufficient refuelling intervals. This enables efficient work with low operating costs.

Optimal driving performance through stability and excellent offroad capabilities
The robust and reliable undercarriage design with integrated travel drive offers the best possible acceleration due to the high drawbar pull. The resulting high travel speed reduces the time required for transport, which in turn saves costs. The Liebherr standard tires ensure comfortable driving performance. These ensure maximum stability and are available in several versions, such as twin or single tires (optional). Speeder versions enable speeds of up to 37 km/h. In addition, new designs in the uppercarriage area provide maximum offroad capability: the wheels can move further in the direction of the uppercarriage during an oscillating motion of the axle. In combination with the ground clearance and the pendulum angle of the undercarriage, this provides the A 909 Compact and A 911 Compact with maximum traction.

Maintenance-friendly machine design
With their intelligent and service-oriented machine design, the new small excavators feature a well-thought-out maintenance concept. The durability of the high-quality components ensures low service costs and thus minimal downtime for maintenance and servicing. Considering the entire life cycle of the new wheeled excavators, the total costs from purchase to sale are ultimately low – without compromising on quality. A large number of components are also maintenance-free, meaning that no daily maintenance is required here. However, should maintenance be necessary, the most important parts can be reached from the ground, allowing for simple, fast and, above all, safe maintenance. This also applies to refuelling the A 909 Compact and A 911 Compact. The high availability of spare parts and the proven Liebherr service quality round off the excellent overall package when it comes to maintenance and service.

Comfortable operator’s cab with individual control and excellent visibility
The two new wheeled excavators impress with a number of advantages for the machine operator. In particular, the comfortably designed cab offers sufficient space in the head and foot area, as well as driver-specific setting of the control elements. The new INTUSI (Intuitive User Interface) operating system, which is installed as standard, allows individual assignment of the functions and thus maximum flexibility in daily work. The intelligent arrangement of the cab ensures that all relevant control panels and joysticks are easily accessible and operable. The generously designed glass surfaces provide the best possible overview in all directions and thus contribute significantly to the safety of the working environment. The additional sliding window on the side allows the operator to communicate optimally with people outside. In terms of ergonomics, the A 909 Compact and A 911 Compact also offer the operator a comfortable working environment thanks to consoles that move with the machine, as well as low noise emissions and vibrations.
