Crawler excavators
Equipment handbook
Liebherr-France SAS
Introduction
Founded in 1961, Liebherr-France SAS is responsible for development and produc-
tion of Liebherr Group crawler excavators in Colmar (France). Its current product
range includes around 30 crawler excavator models, from the R 914 Compact to
the R 998 SME, designed for use in earthmoving and quarrying. Since the 1980s,
Liebherr-France SAS has been designing and manufacturing crawler excavators
for special applications such as selective deconstruction and material handling
work, material transport, tunnelling and even maritime applications. Special designs
are in fact part of the DNA and history of the company.
To satisfy growing demand and meet
customers’ requirements, the Liebherr
Application Center was created in 2020
to develop the production of tailor-made
crawler excavators. Special requests
from customers are studied by a team
of experts with product-related
expertise and applications knowledge.
The aim is to offer the best solution,
most closely matched to the customer’s
needs.
By meeting customers’ special requests
with suitable solutions, sometimes ones
never before seen by our customers,
the Liebherr Application Center ensures
Liebherr quality out of the factory. The
feasibility and adaptability study for the
standard range comes with guaranteed
CE certification, manufacturer-level
quality and high spare part availability.
