| Particulars | Liebherr R 998 SME Litronic | Komatsu PC1250-8R |
|---|
The Komatsu PC1250-8R is a powerhouse with a high engine performance suited for very heavy tasks and comes with a larger fuel tank for more extended operation, whereas the Liebherr R 998 SME Litronic features a standard AC cabin and provides a greater bucket capacity range, better suited for operations where a larger volume per cycle is paramount. Both models come equipped with GPS standard and have robust constructions.
The choice between Komatsu PC1250-8R and Liebherr R 998 SME Litronic should be based on the specific needs of the task at hand. For operations that require high power and long operational times, the Komatsu may be preferable. On the other hand, for projects where bucket capacity and operator comfort are prioritized, the Liebherr might be the better option.
