After a shutdown period of more than two years, iron ore extraction started again in 2021 in the Donimalai iron mines in the Indian state of Karnataka in the south of the country. Now, its fleet has grown by a reliable pair: two Liebherr R 9200 face shovel excavators for mining applications. The R 9200 comes with a 12.5m³ bucket in standard configuration, the class-leading bucket capacity in the 200t class. Both machines received 9m³ extra heavy-duty design buckets for the highly demanding application of the Donimalai site. Liebherr R 9200 excavators provide maximum uptime not only because of their high reliability, but also because of their easy serviceability and offer peak fuel burn efficiency.
