Significant Developments for Liebherr Generation 8 Crawler Excavators

Liebherr is taking its Generation 8 crawler excavators to the next level. The R 922 to R 945 G8 models now feature an expanded range of settings and cutting-edge assistance systems, designed to boost productivity, efficiency, and ease of use on every job site.

Smarter, More Efficient Excavators
The new Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE) mode optimises hydraulics and engine performance, reducing fuel consumption by up to 10% without compromising power. Operators can easily save preferred settings and enjoy a temporary performance boost for key movements—perfect for fast, precise work.

Adding to convenience, the innovative diesel exhaust fluid filling pump allows ground-level refilling, eliminating overflow risks and saving time—no climbing required.

Advanced Assistance Systems
The Leica 2D control system comes standard, offering ±2 cm precision and an intuitive colour-coded interface for levelling and earthmoving. Expandable to 3D-ready options, it ensures maximum accuracy for complex projects.

The Bucket Filling Assistant (BFA) automates bucket filling for faster, more consistent cycles, while the integrated weighing device measures load in real-time with ±2% accuracy, supporting optimal HGV loading and complete traceability via Liebherr Connect.

Safety gets a major upgrade with Skyview 360°. Four high-resolution cameras provide a full 360° view, including blind spots—even in cold weather—ensuring early obstacle detection and safer operation.

Proven and Future-Ready
Launched in 2019, Generation 8 crawler excavators combine modern design with superior performance, reduced fuel use, and enhanced operator comfort. With global reliability and continuous innovation, Liebherr ensures these machines remain at the forefront of earthmoving technology.
