 Productivity and Efficiency
Liebherr’s R 984 C mining excavator is the most flexible digging and loading tool.
It can be customized for all mining applications for maximum performance. Even
under the hardest conditions, it achieves high productivity. Always ready for job,
the R 984 C is your key to the lowest operating and owning cost per tonne.

Reach a New Level of Productivity

High Digging Forces With a multitude of possible backhoe attachments
configurations and a wide range of buckets the R 984
C provides the highest crowd and breakout forces in
every application. Even under tough conditions Lieb-
herr’s R 984 C high digging force allows easy bucket
penetration and favorable bucket fill factors to achieve
high productivity.
Closed Loop Swing With an independent swing circuit the machine al-
Circuit lows the maximum swing torque whilst retaining the
full oil flow for the working circuit.
Compact Machine Liebherr’s excavator design is well-balanced and
Design provides best machine stability. The high weight dis-
tribution towards the undercarriage contributes to an
efficient utilization of the strong digging forces and a
favorable power to weight ratio of the uppercarriage
and attachment.

Efficiency for Less Cost

Efficient Cooling Liebherr’s large dimensioned cooling system reduces
System fan power consumption and ensures an ideal machine
temperature. The hydrostatic fans operate always on
the required level.
High Hydraulic The high pressure level of Liebherr hydraulic system
Efficiency together with the optimized pipe and hose layout
maximize the usable power transmission. The Pres-
sure Less Boom Down function combined with the
oil regeneration on the attachment saves energy and
reduces swing back time.
Automatic Idle The electronic control of the hydraulic system and
Control engine allows automatic idle mode contributing to
less fuel consumption and load on the engine.

The load values are quoted in tons (t) on the backhoe bucket’s load hook, and may be swung 360° on firm and even ground. Values quoted in brackets apply to the
undercarriage when in longitudinal position. Capacities are valid for 600 mm wide double grouser pads. Indicated loads are based on ISO 10567 standard and do not
exceed 75 % of tipping or 87 % of hydraulic capacity (indicated via #). Maximum load for the backhoe bucket’s lifting eye is 27 t. Without bucket (6.40 m3), the lift
capacities will increase by 7,200 kg, without bucket cylinder, link and lever they increase by an additional 1,900 kg. Lifting capacity of the excavator is limited by
machine stability, hydraulic capacity and maximum permissible load of the load hook.
When lifting loads, the hydraulic excavator must be equipped with automatic check valve on its hoist cylinders and overload warning device according to European
Standard, EN 474-5.

The load values are quoted in tons (t) on the backhoe bucket’s load hook, and may be swung 360° on firm and even ground. Values quoted in brackets apply to the
undercarriage when in longitudinal position. Capacities are valid for 600 mm wide double grouser pads. Indicated loads are based on ISO 10567 standard and do not
exceed 75 % of tipping or 87 % of hydraulic capacity (indicated via #). Maximum load for the backhoe bucket’s lifting eye is 27 t. Without bucket (3.90 m3/2.70 m3*), the
lift capacities will increase by 4,530 kg/3,190 kg*, without bucket cylinder, link and lever they increase by an additional 1,900 kg/1,100 kg*. Lifting capacity of the exca-
vator is limited by machine stability, hydraulic capacity and maximum permissible load of the load hook.
When lifting loads, the hydraulic excavator must be equipped with automatic check valve on its hoist cylinders and overload warning device according to European
Standard, EN 474-5.
