The Liebherr R 978 SME Litronic and the BEML BE700 are both extra-large excavators designed for heavy-duty operations in mining and earthmoving. The Liebherr R 978 SME boasts higher engine power and bucket capacity, while the BEML BE700 offers customization in cabin features and has a slightly higher travel speed.
The choice between Liebherr R 978 SME Litronic and BEML BE700 should be based on the specific requirements of the job. If engine power, fuel capacity, and dig-reach are crucial, the Liebherr may be more suitable. However, for operations requiring frequent movement on site and slightly lower ground pressure, the BEML could be a better fit. Consider the availability of optional features versus standard ones, as well as the potential trade-offs in fuel tank size and operational weight.
