    Overview Summary

    Comparing the Liebherr R 956 Litronic and the Volvo EC550E, the key differences lie in the engine power, bucket capacity, undercarriage length, and gradeability. While the Liebherr model offers a stronger digging force with a versatile bucket capacity, the Volvo EC550E excels with a more powerful engine and better slope handling capabilities.

    Liebherr R 956 Litronic

    Pros:

    • Bucket capacity range suitable for various mining and construction needs (1.65 – 3.50 m³)
    • Powerful Liebherr engine with a high torque of 2280 Nm
    • Prolonged undercarriage length (5550 mm) for increased stability
    • Higher bucket digging force (316 kN) for tough excavating conditions

    Cons:

    • Lower engine power compared to the Volvo EC550E (340 HP vs. 434 HP)
    • Lacks gradeability specification for assessing performance on slopes
    • Higher ground bearing pressure which could impact terrain maneuverability

    Volvo EC550E

    Pros:

    • More potent engine with higher power output (434 HP)
    • Greater gradeability (70%) indicating superior slope handling
    • Wider bucket capacity range fit for diverse operations (2.4 - 4.2 m³)
    • Lower ground bearing pressure for potentially better maneuverability

    Cons:

    • Slightly lower bucket digging force when compared with Liebherr R 956 Litronic (267 kN vs. 316 kN)
    • Shorter boom and arm lengths (6500 mm boom, 3000 mm arm) could affect reach capabilities
    • Travel speed is higher, which is not always an advantage in precision tasks

    Pros:

    Cons:

    Closing Recommendation

    Your choice between the Liebherr R 956 Litronic and the Volvo EC550E should be guided by the specific requirements of your project. Consider the Volvo EC550E if you need higher engine power and slope performance; opt for the Liebherr R 956 Litronic if bucket digging force and a more extended undercarriage are crucial for your operations.
