Sustainable Manufacturing Process
With an ever-present green focus, Liebherr
contributes to the sustainable development:
• Systematic risk analysis for new materials
qualifi cation
• Promoted recovery waste management
• Controlled non-recyclable waste elimination
• Eco-friendly material selection
(95% of material used on machine is recyclable)
Environment
Liebherr considers the preservation of the environment as a major challenge
for the present and future. Sustainability underpins Liebherr’s machines; from
raw materials selection to manufacturing process employed. Liebherr provides
solutions that allow customers to balance high performance with environmental
consciousness.
Minimized Impact on Life
Optimized Fuel
Consumption Constant power regulation of the hydraulic system
and engine output optimizes equipment fuel
effi ciency, depending on the application. Fan coolers
speed is adjusted on-demand in order to optimize
energy consumption. The automatic idling system
reduces the engine speed when the machine is at rest.
Controlled Emission
Rejections The R 9400 is powered by a high horsepower
diesel engine which complies with the USA/EPA
Tier 2 emissions limits. The electric drive version
is an effi cient alternative for applications that do
not require frequent machine relocation. The pow-
er system makes the R 9400 cost effective with-
out compromising productivity whilst reducing the
machines impact on the environment.
Sustainable Design and Manufacturing Process
Extended Components
and Fluids Lifetime Liebherr is constantly working on ways to extend
component life. Through the Exchange Components
program, superior lubrication systems, and the
reinforcement of parts under stress, Liebherr can
reduce frequency of part replacement. The result
minimizes environmental impact and lowers the
overall cost of ownership.
Product Life-Cycle
Management Subject to the stringent European Program for the
regulation of the use of chemical substances in the
manufacturing process REACH*, Liebherr under-
takes a global evaluation to minimize the impacts of
hazardous materials.
*REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC1907/2006)
It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances.
Sound Attenuation Kit (Option)
Developed with the latest noise
measurement technologies, this
approach is based on both removal
of noise at the source and passive
sound attenuation:
• Noise-optimized fan regulation
• Larger and additional muffl ers
with tail pipe absorbers
• Sound attenuation on louvers,
doors and walls
• Additional high volume sound
attenuation boxes
