The Story Of The Liebherr 996

This is the story of a mining legend: the Liebherr 996 excavator.
Announced in 1995 and released on the market in 1996, the R996 is by far one of the most durable machines ever built by the german manufacturer. Over 25 years, Liebherr sold 115 units of this mining beast in Australia only and the legacy keep going today, with old 996's reaching up to 150,000 working hours of good service.
The R996 has recently been replaced by the brand new R9600 excavator. Will it go through the same success? Time will tell...

R996 best 600 tons class excavator, hands down, they so strong and digging force is incredible, i hope 9600 will be even better, but 996 was legend and 9600 only start it's path to such cool reputation as 996

100% agree with everything you said! A bit too early to know how the 9600 will do over the years (or decades) but from what I heard so far, it's looking good. I'm 50-50 on the design (especially the bucket) but it's just me 😜

Thanks, yes only time will tell, but anyway technology go forward, next gen machine i hope will be very good, digging power of 9600 even greater from specs, and bucket larger. Reliability? We will see in future, Australia will buy a whole bunch as usual😅

Das Liebherr Werk ist nicht weit entfernt von mir. Immer wieder schön deren Maschinen bei der Arbeit zu sehen.

Good job!
I would love to see a video about the history of the Liebherr 984 until its successor Liebherr 9150, it would be fantastic! Greetings from a Spanish follower friend!
