The Liebherr R 998 SME Litronic and Volvo EC950E are both powerful mining excavators with high engine power ratings, suitable for heavy-duty applications. Both come standard with AC cabins and GPS, have similar hydraulic capabilities, and offer large bucket capacities, although Liebherr's is slightly larger.
Choose the Liebherr R 998 SME Litronic for its larger bucket capacity and high hydraulic efficiency, ideal for large-scale excavation tasks where volume moved per cycle is crucial. Opt for the Volvo EC950E if operations involve difficult terrains, as its superior gradeability and lower ground pressure prevail. Assess specific project requirements and conditions to determine the best fit for your needs.
