‘Jack of all trades’ at Glensanda

Foster Yeoman Ltd have taken delivery of a 115-tonne Liebherr R984C Litronic excavator to carry out a range of different tasks at their 6 million tonnes per year Glensanda Quarry in Scotland.

Powered by a six-cylinder Cummins diesel engine which develops 540kW at 1,800 rev/min, the machine’s main workload comprises overburden removal, road construction and maintenance, back-wall dressing and general earthmoving duties, although it also supplements loading shovel activity at the face when necessary.

The R984C was supplied with full quarry specifications including 500mm wide track pads, FOPS protection and an upgraded HDV 6.7m3 bucket with an additional wear shroud. Also, in view of its coastal operating environment, the entire machine has been finished with sea-water-resistant paint.
