Liebherr R 940
The Liebherr R 940 is a robust heavy-equipment machine engineered for demanding civil engineering, mining, and infrastructure projects. Built to perform reliably in harsh environments, it delivers the digging force, lifting capacity, and durability that contractors depend on.
Powered by a Tier 4 Final / Stage V compliant engine, the R 940 meets the latest emission regulations without compromising power output. The load-sensing hydraulic system continuously adjusts flow and pressure to match working conditions, reducing fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to previous generations.
The ROPS/FOPS certified cab provides a comfortable, ergonomic working environment with excellent sightlines. Telematics integration enables remote fleet monitoring, preventive maintenance scheduling, and geofencing for asset security.

Our fleet relies on the R 940
Running three units of the Liebherr R 940 on a major infrastructure project. Fuel consumption is 12% lower than our previous generation fleet on equivalent tasks. The telematics system flags service needs in advance and we have had zero unexpected breakdowns over 14 months. Operator feedback on cab comfort and controls is uniformly positive. Load-sensing hydraulics make a real difference on fine grading work — much smoother than open-centre systems.
