en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mining services provider Thiess Group recently deployed its fourth Liebherr R 9800 hydraulic excavator at a mine operated by Jellinbah Group in Queensland, Australia. This brings the total number of R 9800 units operated globally by Thiess Group to 10, including four at the Lake Vermont mine site.

The R 9800 is Liebherr's largest flagship excavator, equipped with a 47.5-cubic-meter bucket and powered by two Cummins QSK60 engines delivering a combined output of 4,000 horsepower (equivalent to 2,983 kilowatts), designed for high-efficiency, large-scale mining operations. Nick Brown, Regional General Manager for Thiess Eastern Australia, stated that the excavator can excavate approximately 3,000 bank cubic meters per hour, translating to an annual production capacity of 16.8 million bank cubic meters, strongly supporting the project's long-term production strategy. The addition of the excavator enhances loading capacity at the mine site, helping to deliver robust operational results for long-term client Jellinbah Group.

This deployment further reflects the long-standing partnership between Thiess and Liebherr, spanning more than three decades. Thiess Group is one of the world's leading mining services contractors, with operations covering mine extraction, engineering design, and operational management. The R 9800 fleet, leveraging its scale, reliability, and performance, continues to provide strong support for operational excellence.
