HRD news

Despe Liebherr R984C EW  Extreme High Reach Demolition Excavator

First test run for new Liebherr R984C HRD.

It looks like Liebherr is planning to really enter the E-HRD market. Developments are well underway, and some Intel tells that the new Extreme-High Reach Demolition product-line will be something completely new. 

As for now the manufacturer is still developing and renew their traditional HRD products.

The latest is one that also puts them in the E-HRD market. We traveled to Genova-Italy to see the first hours of a field-follow R984C-EW E-HRD. 

The base machine was build back in 2002 and delivered to the Italian demolition contractor Despe

For a couple of years this company put the machine to the test in the Liebherr Field-follow program. 
The tests were done using it with the standard boom. 

Mid. August 2007 the machine went back to the Liebherr factory in Colmar to check the machine fully, rebuild some parts, and fit it with the new developed E-HRD boom.

18-09-07 The machine reaches the Italian Sky for the first time. The first HRD field-tests will be; using it with the new 46mtr (pin) E-HRD boom option. 

Tests have to show what the machine is capable of, and how far it can go. We saw it perform its skills, and we can say it looked very good.

As we said before; the machine is in a Test-phase, and that means that we can not tell you its specs, other than that this R984C-EW E-HRD has a upper-class undercarriage (that of a Liebherr R992).

The Liebherr HRD product-line and   specification sheets (PDF) in several languages can be found at our website.
