Liebherr R9150B in a quarry.

A pair of 138t Liebherr R9150B excavators working in a UK quarry digging un-blasted chalk for the cement industry. The excavators are used to break the stone up to stop it blocking the static crusher. They load 40-50t capacity trucks as the opening to the crusher is too small for a larger truck. As blasting is not allowed on site, the time in-between loading trucks is spent digging and prying material loose.

Thank you for sharing. I can rarely see any video of this mighty Liebherr on the web and yours is a good one! 😊

[@perkunas8651]

This is a very thoughtful setup. The trucks are a good match for the smaller bucket of the excavator.

[@johnnymurff4137]

Nice footage of blasted chalk is dug up by the excavator, I like the fact that you explained the video, others don't explain what is going on.

[@RPAMEDIA]

Not blasted at all.

[@jezcolborne6329]

They rip the chalk not blast it

[@jimmycahill1347]

Good video thanks for a decent description 👍

[@nbtpco.5906]

hello, a shovel of this type is worth around 1 million euros each ??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@googlenutzer2249]

Mehr davon. Schönster und bester bagger überhaupt. 😍😍

[@roberto0673]

Molto potente👍

[@TommiLipponen]

I wonder why blasting is not allowed in that kind of site. Could there be a risk of ground water contamination or something,

My neighbour is parking in front of my driveway. Can I borrow this machine?

[@ehsantop2442]

Super strong💪

Liebherr r9150b, cat 6015b, komatsu pc1250, hitachi ex1200, best excavator in quarry.

[@johngardea625]

Also the Volvo 950e

No
950 is 50 ton smaller

[@simonecarli898]

Liebherr R9150 and Cat 6015b they are heavier, higher category, Lieb performs better. Hitachi 1200 and komatsu 1250 are in the same category, hitachi probably has slightly better performance.

[@skytriff]

Hey awesome video. What kind of stone is this?

[@Karl.RschGmbH]

Die Kettenfahrwerke sind etwas zu schmal geraten für diesen schweren Bagger. Bei weicherem Untergrund kann sich das Gerät leicht fest fahren.

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Is the paint color intentionally matching the rock?

[@DZShark]

lol no... All Liebherr ''Mining'' equipment is painted in white.

[@johngardea625]

It also keeps the machine cool, because of how hot it can get.

[@dr.go-fast]

Why are the tracks smaller then for example a 30 ton excavator?

[@RPAMEDIA]

Basically because it sits on rock all day and doesn't need to spread its weight. Keeps it planted to the ground.

[@dr.go-fast]

@@RPAMEDIA Okay that makes sense..thnx. I have bought the scale one 1:50 and even that size impresses me...beautiful machine.

[@nbtpco.5906]

🤩🤩🤩

[@Niels_f2704]

Does liebherr also make those in yellow?

[@macarows4014]

Their Mining machines are all in white.

[@johngardea625]

Yes

[@macarows4014]

Why so narrow tracks?

[@RPAMEDIA]

Minin machines. Always on narrow tracks with rock
