The dimensions of the R 920 Compact ensure unrestricted movement around the jobsite and easy transportation from one site to another.

Liebherr R 960 high-reach demolition excavator
Built and designed with all Liebherr components from the high-reach attachments to the demolition control software and electronics, the R 960 high reach demolition excavator is custom-designed to work together. The R 960 features the Liebherr Demolition Control (LDC). This unique safety system won an innovation award at Intermat. The LDC provides operators with precise information on positioning of the demolition tool while safeguarding the stability of the excavator. The position of the tool is displayed in real-time on a touchscreen display along with the tilt angle of the machine. The new system minimizes the probability of human errors that could impair the stability of the machine.

The Liebherr PR 756 Dozer
During Conexpo Liebherr will also showcase the new PR756 dozer which belongs to the new product range of Generation 6 Liebherr Dozers. The PR 756 has an operating weight between 84,430 lbs – 90,720 lbs and offers a 336 horsepower (250 kW) (SAE J1349). It uses a Liebherr six-cylinder Tier 4 Final-compliant diesel engine and its blade capacity ranges from 11.67 – 15.30 yd³. The high efficiency of its hydrostatic drive extends over almost the entire speed range maintaining adequate engine power at all times while fuel consumption is kept to a minimum. The PR 756 features an electronically controlled drive management with integrated ECO-mode setting. The cab design on the generation 6 dozers has been redesigned for improved visibility; the exhaust stack and blade cylinders have been repositioned to provide a clear line of sight to the blade.

Liebherr unveils the generation 6 of pipelayers at Conexpo-Con/Agg
Conexpo attendees will also have the opportunity to get up close to the new RL 56 pipelayer. Designed and engineered with Liebherr main components according to customer’s specific needs, the RL 56 is ideal for performance in the toughest operating conditions. The RL 56 has a maximum lifting capacity of 158,733 lbs and offers improvements in comfort and reliability. It features a Tier 4 Final/Stage IV Liebherr diesel engine, 281 HP/210kW (SAE J1349).

The operator cab can be tilted to provide fast and easy access to all important components of the travel drive and hydraulics.

World premiere: Liebherr extends product portfolio with rough-terrain cranes
Liebherr has extended its mobile crane product range with an additional series of rough-terrain cranes in the 100 USt (90-metric ton) and 110 USt (100-metric ton) classes. They feature high performance, safety and comfort. High safety levels in every respect were the main priority for the design of the new Liebherr LRT cranes. Both new crane models feature an outrigger monitoring system as standard. The support status, on tires or outriggers, is detected automatically and saved to the crane controller. The attachment of the ballast to the turntable and the installation of the optional double folding jib, including its angle adjustment, are also recorded and monitored.
The 110 USt (100-metric ton) LRT 1100-2.1 has a 164 ft (50 m) telescopic boom with a “Telematik” telescoping system on which the various telescoping sections can be extended independently with a single cylinder and then pinned to the telescopic section above. The 30,800 lbs. (14-metric ton) of counterweights ensure high stability. The lifting capacity of the LRT 1100-2.1 is around 15% higher than that of the 100 USt (90-metric ton) model which features 26,500 lbs. (12-metric ton) of counterweights. The LRT 1090-2.1 features a 154 ft (47 m) telescopic boom. Its telescoping system consists of a two-stage hydraulic cylinder with a rope extension mechanism.

Liebherr 81 K.1 tower crane
Liebherr will be exhibiting its new 81 K.1 fast-erecting crane, an upgrade of the 81 K, at the Conexpo Con/Agg in Las Vegas. The new crane is even more powerful and flexible. The lifting capacity of the upgraded Liebherr 81 K.1 fast-erecting crane can be temporarily increased by up to 20%. Using the so-called Load-Plus function, there is no need to use an additional larger crane for heavyweight hoists. By bolting on an extension, the jib can be extended by 9.84 ft. (3 m) without much effort. Compared to its predecessor, this increases the maximum radius to 157 ft. (48 m). This almost places the crane in the next higher crane class.
