Technical Description R 312

Hydraulic Excavator

Operating Weight 14,4 – 16,5 t

Engine Output 62 kW (84 HP)
Bucket Capacity 0,14 – 0,75 m3

Hydraulic “Compact” Excavators are put to work in the Comfortable – large well equipped and sound insulated cab.

highest productivity. This requires small dimensions and vidual operator’s size and weight.
modern technology. The Liebherr R 312 excavator has both,
and more! Environmentally sound – low noise and exhaust emission.
Optional: Bio degradable oil.
Powerful – turbo-charged, liquid cooled 4 cylinder Diesel
engine, with direct injection and low operating RPM. Easy service – clear and easy access to all components.
Sealed attachment pivots and extended service intervals
Productive – variable flow double pump with summated reduce maintenance costs.
horsepower control, flow summation and pressure compen-
sation. Versatile – hydraulically adjustable and off-set booms,
gooseneck booms, assortment of sticks, quick change tool
Strong traveller – independend travel drive in each side- adapters and an extensive variety of buckets and clam-
frame; mounted within the frame for complete protection. shells provide application versatility. Auxiliary hydraulics
further allow special tools like hammers, augers etc.
Compact – short tail overhang with a tail swing of only
1,95 m. Economical – the combination of all the above, results in top
performance at low operating costs.

The lift capacities are stated in metric tonnes (t) on the backhoe bucket’s load hook, and can be liftet 360h on firm, level supporting surface.
Values quoted in brackets are valid for the undercarriage when in longitudinal position.
Capacities are valid for 600 mm wide triple grouser pads with adjusting cylinder(s) in optimal position.
Indicated loads are based on ISO 10567 standard and do not exceed 75 % of tipping or 87 % of hydraulic capacity (indicated via #).
Maximum load for the backhoe bucket’s load hook is 8 t.
Without bucket (0,45 m3), the lift capacities will increase by 370 kg, without bucket cylinder, link and lever they increase by an additional
150 kg.
Lifting capacity of the excavator is limited by machine stability, hydraulic capacity and maximum permissible load of the load hook.
According to European Standard, EN 474-5: In the European Union excavators have to be equipped with an overload warning device and
automatic check valves on the hoist cylinders, when they are used for lifting operations which require the use of lifting accessories.

The load values are quoted in tons (t) on the backhoe bucket’s load hook, and may be swung 360h on firm and even ground.
Values quoted in brackets apply to the undercarriage when in longitudinal position.
Capacities are valid for 600 mm wide triple grouser pads.
Indicated loads are based on ISO 10567 standard and do not exceed 75 % of tipping or 87 % of hydraulic capacity (indicated via #).
Maximum load for the backhoe bucket’s load hook is 8 t.
Without bucket (0,45 m3), the lift capacities will increase by 370 kg, without bucket cylinder, link and lever they increase by an additional
150 kg.
Lifting capacity of the excavator is limited by machine stability, hydraulic capacity and maximum permissible load of the load hook.
According to European Standard, EN 474-5: In the European Union excavators have to be equipped with an overload warning device and
automatic check valves on the hoist cylinders, when they are used for lifting operations which require the use of lifting accessories.
