At MINExpo 2024, Liebherr will showcase its mining, earthmoving, mobile and crawler cranes, components, and aerospace and transportation product segments.
Visitors will experience over 2,777 square metres (over 29,000 square feet) of Liebherr exhibits at booth #7832. Daily classes and live demonstrations will take place at the Liebherr booth each day as well, showcasing the company’s latest updates and providing insights into these technologies and services.
New technology coming for the T 264 haul truck
Liebherr’s T 264 haul truck will be showcased at the Liebherr booth. The 240-tonne machine will be equipped with Liebherr’s latest technology, including the Trolley Assist System. Liebherr will reveal the latest technology for the T 264 at an event during the exhibition.
Liebherr’s R 9400 E electric excavator
To highlight Liebherr as a reliable partner for decarbonization, the booth will include the R 9400 E 350-tonne electric excavator. This machine will be equipped with the company’s brand-new cable reel solution for increased maneuverability.
The PR 776 dozer
Liebherr’s PR 776 dozer will be a highlight at the booth. Liebherr says that the 70-tonne dozer has the lowest hourly fuel burn – and therefore the lowest greenhouse gas emissions – in its class. Additionally, Liebherr’s Assistance Systems, designed to support operators and increase onsite productivity, will be installed on the PR 776.
The LRT 1100-2.1 rough-terrain crane
Liebherr’s mobile and crawler crane product segment will present the LRT 1100-2.1 rough-terrain crane. This rough-terrain crane has outrigger monitors as standard that automatically detect the support status of the crane and save it to the crane’s controller. The standard VarioBase variable support base of the crane further optimizes safety by enhancing flexibility on site and increasing the crane’s lifting capacity. The LRT 1100-2.1 has a telescopic boom with Liebherr’s telematic telescoping system for rough-terrain cranes, on which the various telescoping sections can be extended independently with a single cylinder and then pinned to the telescopic section above.
Liebherr’s latest technologies
At Liebherr’s technology showcase, the company will share its latest technologies. In the decarbonization space, the company has developed a variety of alternative drives and will showcase some of its brand-new solutions for its range of haul trucks. Liebherr will also share its new approach and solutions for autonomous haulage and fleet management as well as its new machine guidance system.
During the exhibition, Liebherr will present technologies for automating, operating, and maintaining Liebherr equipment. One such solution is LiReCon (Liebherr Remote Control), the teleoperations system for Liebherr dozers. Visitors can see how this remote system helps keep operators safe while increasing equipment uptime and productivity.
Servicing equipment
At this year’s MINExpo, Liebherr will highlight its range of service products for mining. Visitors will see how the company supports operators from initial equipment consultation to machine maintenance, support, and equipment upgrades.
Liebherr’s existing machines can be repowered to run on Liebherr’s D98 series of engines, designed specifically for mining conditions, and can be converted from a diesel to an electric powertrain. This is what enables Liebherr’s modular maintenance program, a service concept that minimizes the downtime and risk associated with major component changeouts.
Mining technologies of tomorrow
At the Innovation Lab, visitors will see Liebherr’s latest concepts and technologies for the future of mining. Liebherr’s components product segment will feature technologies as the core of every powerful mining machine. This will include a hydrogen engine, a travel or a wheel drive, a CFRP hybrid hydraulic cylinder, an advanced slewing bearing with bearing clearance monitoring, or the remanufacturing program.
Another highlight in the Innovation Lab is a 55 kW compressor. Backed up by experience gathered during the last two decades and jointly developed by the Liebherr components and aerospace and transportation systems product segments, the compressor is driven by an electrical motor and features an air bearing. Such technology is an enabler for the deployment of fuel cell propulsion systems with only emissions of water and heat, which aids in the movement for more environmentally friendly transportation.
