5 Facts About Liebherr Wheeled Excavators

Jul 29, 2025 - one month ago

At Bauma in April, Liebherr showcased the A 909 Compact and the A 911 Compact Wheeled Excavators.

The two new models in the nine and eleven ton classes expand the Liebherr wheeled excavator portfolio. Here are five exciting facts about these extraordinary excavators.

The first of their kind
For the first time, there will be two wheeled excavators operating in the nine and eleven ton class. The new wheeled excavators impress with their combination of a well-thought-out machine concept and user-friendly operation. They are versatile, comfortable for the driver and combine speed, flexibility in use and user-friendliness for the machine operator.

Compact, flexible and safe
The A 909 Compact and the A 911 Compact are not only the first Liebherr wheeled excavators in this ton class but also impress with their compactness. They have a small rear swiveling radius (1.50 m and 1.60 m) and front swiveling radius (2.00 m and 2.10 m). The turning circle dimensions of just 3.86 meters also underline the compactness of the two machines. The same applies to the enveloping circle. In combination with the total weight of 9.7 tonnes for the A 909 and 10.8 tons for the A 911, the two wheeled excavators can be used safely and flexibly even in confined spaces.

Customized control is required
The A 909 Compact and the A 911 Compact are equipped with the INTUSI (Intuitive User Interface) operating system, an innovative, adaptive and intuitive operating system.

INTUSI organizes the various function categories thematically or situationally into apps that are reminiscent of the operation of a smartphone. This enables the driver to continue working safely and comfortably with the growing number of functions. The new operating concept offers a high degree of individuality for the driver: the arrangement of the functions can be customized and saved in the respective driver profile. This allows higher-level functions to be stored for direct call-up. With the newly created user interface, these can be operated directly for the individually defined, prioritized functions, which provides additional convenience.

Durability
In addition to all the useful features, the small excavators also feature a well-thought-out maintenance concept. The durability of the high-quality components ensures low service costs and therefore less downtime for maintenance and servicing. Looking at the entire life cycle of the new wheeled excavators, the total costs from purchase to sale are ultimately at a low level – without compromising on quality. Many components are also maintenance-free, meaning that no daily maintenance is required. However, if maintenance is required, the most important parts are accessible from the ground, making maintenance quick, easy and, above all, safe.

Speed
The robust and reliable undercarriage design with integrated travel drive offers the best possible acceleration due to the high tractive force. The resulting high travelling speed reduces the time required for transport. Comfort is also taken care of: The Liebherr standard tires ensure maximum stability and are available in several versions, such as twin or single tires (optional). Various so-called speeder versions for the A 909 Compact and the A 911 Compact enable speeds of up to 37km/h to be reached.
