Performance
Thanks to its innovative system technology, the Advanced
crawler excavator has performance features that are truly
unique. The energy efficient Positive Control dual-circuit
hydraulic system is designed specifically to allow multiple
functions or machine movement at the same time. The
electronic pump control sets a new standard for perfor-
mance and efficiency.
Reliability
Backed by more than 50 years experience designing and
building hydraulic excavators, Liebherr designed the new
Generation 6 Excavators to provide the maximum in reli-
ability and performance.
Comfort
Designed to the latest ergonomic standards, the operators
cab provides exceptional comfort, ease of operation
and an outstanding, wide view to the working area. For
Liebherr, comfort also applies to service, with centrally
located service points and easy, rapid access.
Economy
Crawler excavators from Liebherr guarantee maximum
productivity. The optimized interaction of hydraulics and
electronics means that individual movements as well as
multiple functions can be performed at the same time
without decreasing efficiency.

 Performance
Thanks to its innovative system technology, the R 916 and R 926 Advanced crawler ex-
cavators have performance features that are truly unique. The energy efficient Positive
Control dual-circuit hydraulic system is designed specifically to allow multiple functions or
machine movement at the same time. The electronic pump control sets a new standard
for performance and efficiency.

Advanced integrated excavator system technology

High-tech for high The Advanced excavators features the newly-developed
performance integrated excavator system technology. This is based
on the Positive Control hydraulic system, controlled by
Liebherr electronics and the system software. The sen-
sors located at strategic points on the machine form the
basis for an intelligent system that allows for fast and
efficient work.
Positive Control When traveling straight, turning or performing work
dual-circuit hydraulic functions, the two hydraulic pump circuits are either
system grouped together or operated independently. Operat-
ing separately, the pumps can supply components with
different load pressures and flows independently, while
combining the flow for maximum speed and multiple
functions for optimum efficiency.

Power and speed

Faster work cycles The Advanced excavators features quick working cy-
cles attained as a result of the Liebherr swing drive and
exceptionally high swing torque.
R 916 Advanced With an operating pressure of 5.511 PSI, the R 916
operating pressure Advanced achieves higher hydraulically limited load ca-
pacities and higher digging forces, of up to 29.675 lbf,
and break-out forces of up to 40.244 lbf; perfect for
difficult applications.
R 926 Advanced With an operating pressure of 5.511 PSI, the R 926
operating pressure Advanced achieves high hydraulically limited load ca-
pacities and higher digging forces, of up to 33.946 lbf,
and break-out forces of up to 43.388 lbf.

Wide range of operational Powerful Liebherr engines

possibilities
• Four-cylinder diesel engines developed and
• Large number of equipment options manufactured by Liebherr specifically for
• Adaptable to a wide range of construction machines, with system integra-
applications from earthmoving tion by means of CANBus and pump line
to demolition nozzle injection system
• Efficient power output, and long service life
• High output performance and torque

 Reliability
Backed by more than 50 years experience designing and building hydraulic
excavators, Liebherr designed the new Generation 6 Excavators to provide
the maximum in reliability and performance.

High stability undercarriage

Improved force The new undercarriage concept of the Genera-
distribution tion 6 crawler excavators increases performance
and improves service life. The center section is
extended to the ends of the side frames in an
improved X frame design - resulting in improved
distribution of load forces.
High performance Thanks to a powerful travel drive, the Generation
travel drive 6 crawler excavators are well suited for travel and
transport of loads across difficult terrain. The large
sprocket reduces track vibrations and increases
travel speed to 3.8 mph (6.1 km/h), making the
R 916 Advanced and the R 926 Advanced the
fastest excavators in their class.

Technology with perspective

Quality right down The layout of the hydraulic lines, lubrication lines
to the finest detail and points, wiring harness, etc., all designed for
maximum reliability.
ROPS cab structure The cab is equipped with an integrated roll-over
protection system (ROPS) in accordance with
ISO 12117-2.
Ready for the demands The Advanced Liebherr system technology
of the future can be updated at any time by Liebherr Service
personnel to a newer version - making it ready
to meet the demands of the future and prepared
for future developments and options.

 Economical
Crawler excavators from Liebherr guarantee maximum productivity. The opti-
mized interaction of hydraulics and electronics means that individual movements
as well as multiple functions can be performed at the same time without decreas-
ing efficiency.

Economical technology
Costs savings thanks Fuel savings are achieved thanks to the integrated
to fuel efficiency excavator system technology and the efficient en-
gine and hydraulics management. When not per-
forming a task, the sensor-controlled function auto-
matically idles the engine, reducing fuel consumption
and emissions.

Value
High quality Liebherr excavators are engineered and built to last,
with high quality materials and superior workman-
ship - guaranteeing a long service life.
Environmental All Liebherr engines meet the exhaust gas direc-
protection and tives specified by law, of Stage IIIA/ Tier 3, which
recycling means reduced nitrogen oxide and fine dust emis-
sions. With Liebherr, concern for the environment is
extended to the whole machine. Up to 95 % of all
the components from a Liebherr excavator can be
recycled, and only lead-free paints are used.

Height Can be slewed though 360° In longitudinal position of undercarriage Max. reach * Limited by hydr. capacity
The lift capacities on the load hook of the Liebherr quick change adapter 48 without attachment are stated in lb x 1,000, and can be lifted 360° on firm, level ­supporting
surface. Adjacent values are valid for the undercarriage when in the longitudinal position. Capacities are valid for 30” wide triple-grouser pads. Indi­cated loads are
based on ISO 10567 standard and do not exceed 75 % of tipping or 87 % of hydraulic capacity (indicated by *) or are limited through the allowed lift capacity of the load
hook on the quick change adapter (26,455 lb). Without quick change adapter the lift capacities will increase by 551 lb, without bucket cylinder, link and lever they
increase by an additional 816 lb.

Height Can be slewed though 360° In longitudinal position of undercarriage Max. reach * Limited by hydr. capacity
The lift capacities on the load hook of the Liebherr quick change adapter 48 without attachment are stated in lb x 1,000, and can be lifted 360° on firm, level ­supporting
surface. Adjacent values are valid for the undercarriage when in the longitudinal position. Capacities are valid for 30” wide triple-grouser pads. Indi­cated loads are
based on ISO 10567 standard and do not exceed 75 % of tipping or 87 % of hydraulic ­capacity (indicated by *) or are limited through the allowed lift capacity of the load
hook on the quick change adapter (26,455 lb). Without quick change adapter the lift capacities will increase by 551 lb, without bucket cylinder, link and lever they
increase by an additional 827 lb.
