    Particulars Liebherr R 978 SME Litronic BEML BE700
    Overview Summary

    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.

    Liebherr R 978 SME Litronic
    Pros:
    • Higher engine power (449 HP) for demanding tasks
    • Standard AC Cabin and GPS for operator comfort and equipment tracking
    • Larger fuel capacity (1140 L) for extended operation times
    • Broader track shoe width (500 mm) potentially offering better stability
    • Higher bucket capacity range (4.00 - 5.00 m³)
    • Longer boom and arm reach for deep and far digging operations
    Cons:
    • Heavier operating weight could impact transportability and ground pressure
    • Absent details on travel speeds and gradeability (assuming they are standard)
    BEML BE700
    Pros:
    • Slightly less engine power (415 HP) still suitable for large-scale operations
    • Optional AC Cabin allows for customization based on need
    • Higher tracking force (549 kN) for challenging terrain
    • Lower ground bearing pressure (104.8 kPA) could enable more sensitive ground operations
    • Greater travel speed (4.6 Km/h) for quicker job site maneuverability
    • Larger track shoe width (610 mm) for stability
    Cons:
    • Less engine power compared to Liebherr R 978
    • Absence of standard GPS system
    • Smaller fuel tank (740 L) may require more frequent refueling
    • No information on the engine coolant and hydraulic system capacity
    • Lower bucket capacity (4.5 m³) compared to the upper capacity of Liebherr
    Pros:
    Cons:
    Closing Recommendation

    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.
