Features of the Liebherr R944
A number of features have been built into the crawler excavator. Firstly Liebherr has built a hydraulic system that guides the excavator’s lifting hook. This hydraulic system helps improve the hook’s productivity capability by ensuring the prioritization of the hook’s swing function making it move a lot easier and quicker.
In addition to this, the hydrostatic fan drive also has the ability to reduce the power needed to operate the lifting hook. The direct result of this feature is a reduction in fuel consumption.
Another feature that has been built into the Liebherr R944 that is worth mentioning is undercarriage. The undercarriage has been built using very durable steel plates that are well sealed and greased. This ensures that the structure of the undercarriage remains very solid for a longer period of time.
