Liebherr-France unveils 60,000th crawler excavator

2019-03-11

Liebherr-France SAS presented the 60,000th crawler excavator to its staff. The R 922 from the Liebherr Group?s latest generation was equipped with special panels designed by the artist Jean Linnhoff especially for this occasion and to mark this historical moment.

The 60,000th crawler excavator to be produced at the Liebherr-France SAS site in Colmar was presented on March 1. As a model from Liebherr?s latest generation of crawler excavators with an operating weight of 22 tonne, this machine will be on show in April at the bauma trade fair in Munich and then at various Liebherr authorised dealers and sales partners in Belgium, France and Luxembourg.

The Liebherr operator?s cab remains white, while blue has been chosen as the background colour for the R 922 excavator as a reference to its country of origin, France. The illustrator and graffiti artist Jean Linnhoff from Colmar designed the panels, harmoniously combining graphical elements and design.
