Liebherr is launching the LMD 1200 mining dragline, specially developed for the extraction of raw materials in demanding mining applications. A variable boom system, easy mobility and steel construction ensure flexibility and reliability – even in extreme conditions and with high utilization.
The maximum lifting capacity of 30 tonnes with a working radius of 40 meters meets the requirements of large mining projects. The LMD 1200 can be equipped with a dragline of up to 12.25 cubic meters and can dig to depths of up to 25 meters. The Liebherr twin hydraulic motors automatically adjust the winches’ speed to the required digging force. This ensures even, optimal filling of the dragline and significantly increases handling capacity. In combination with the powerful swing gear, this results in shorter working cycles and higher productivity.
An integrated tank with a capacity of 1,000 liters and an 8270-liter additional tank allow the LMD 1200 to run continuously for up to one week without refueling. The core components include a high proportion of Liebherr’s own developments, which increases parts availability and, in turn, operational readiness.
The mobility concept of the LMD 1200 enables it to be driven and relocated within the mine with the boom lowered, which represents a major time and cost factor. The entire mining dragline can be assembled or disassembled within a week – a clear advantage for customers considering the large size and operating weight of 360 tonnes.
When developing the LMD 1200, great importance was placed on driver comfort. The spacious cabin impresses with its noise-optimized design and offers an excellent overview of the working area. Cameras on the machine extend the operator’s field of vision and enable a safe all-round view, as well as monitoring rope winding on the winches. The tinted safety glass offers sun protection, and the air conditioning system ensures a perfect working climate. The cabin is also equipped with a second driver’s seat for practical training of new operators.
The Liebherr LMD 1200 is available now.
