*A Final Journey: Transporting the Liebherr 974 Excavator for Recycling*
Today’s video captures a poignant yet fascinating moment as the Liebherr 974 Excavator embarks on its last trip to the scrap yard for recycling. This massive machine, having served countless projects, is carefully loaded onto a Goldhofer hydraulic trailer and transported using the powerful MAN TGA41.660 truck. Watching this operation highlights the impressive logistics and engineering involved in giving a giant machine its final farewell.
*The Liebherr 974 Excavator: A Legacy of Power*
The Liebherr 974 Excavator, a workhorse in the world of heavy machinery, has long been known for its strength and reliability in mining and construction projects. While the video focuses on its final journey, its specifications reflect the massive scale of its contributions:
Operating Weight: Approximately 75,000 kg (165,000 lbs), making it a heavy-duty performer in its prime.
Engine Power: Powered by a Liebherr D9508 V8 diesel engine, delivering around 450 horsepower (335 kW).
Bucket Capacity: Typically ranges from 4.5 to 6 cubic meters (5.9 to 7.8 cubic yards), enabling efficient material handling.
Maximum Digging Depth: Can reach depths of 7.5 meters (24.6 feet), showcasing its capability for deep excavation tasks.
Maximum Reach: Extends to 12.6 meters (41.3 feet), allowing it to handle wide areas without frequent repositioning.
Its robust design and advanced hydraulics have made it a staple in heavy-duty excavation work, and today’s video marks the conclusion of its impressive journey.
*The Transport: MAN TGA41.660 and Goldhofer Hydraulic Trailer*
To transport the Liebherr 974 to the scrapyard, the operation requires specialized equipment, including the MAN TGA41.660 truck and a Goldhofer hydraulic trailer. Here’s a closer look at the equipment involved:
*MAN TGA41.660: The Power Behind the Move*
The MAN TGA41.660 is a heavy-duty tractor designed for transporting oversized loads like the Liebherr 974. Its capabilities make it a key player in this operation:
Engine Power: Features a V10 engine delivering 660 horsepower (485 kW), ensuring the power needed to handle heavy loads over long distances.
Gross Vehicle Weight: Built to tow loads exceeding 250 metric tons, making it ideal for transporting massive machinery.
Axle Configuration: The 8×4 configuration provides stability and weight distribution, crucial for managing the excavator’s substantial weight.
Transmission: Equipped with a 12-speed automated manual transmission, it ensures smooth and controlled driving even under heavy loads.
Special Features: Advanced braking systems and hydraulics enhance control, especially when navigating tight spaces or inclines with a heavy trailer.
*Goldhofer Hydraulic Trailer*
The Goldhofer hydraulic trailer complements the MAN truck, providing the versatility and strength needed to transport the Liebherr 974:
Hydraulic Systems: Enables precise adjustments for loading and unloading, ensuring the excavator is positioned securely.
Axle Flexibility: Designed with multiple axles to distribute weight evenly, reducing stress on roads and infrastructure.
Capacity: Built to handle oversized loads like the Liebherr 974, ensuring a stable and efficient transport process.
*Preparing for Transport*
The process begins by removing the Liebherr 974’s bucket and tracks to reduce its weight and size for transport. These components are loaded separately, while the main body of the excavator is carefully positioned onto the Goldhofer trailer. The MAN TGA41.660 is then hitched to the trailer, and the team ensures everything is secured for the journey.
*The Final Trip*
Once loaded, the convoy embarks on the 15-kilometer trip to the scrapyard. The MAN TGA41.660 effortlessly handles the load, its powerful engine and advanced systems ensuring a smooth journey.
*A New Chapter Through Recycling*
The Liebherr 974’s arrival at the scrapyard marks the start of a new chapter. The metal from the excavator will be recycled and repurposed, contributing to the creation of new machinery or other industrial uses.
