The Liebherr T 264 combines an efficient Litronic Plus AC drive system and a high-power engine (up to 2,700 HP / 2,013 kW) to yield higher speeds on grade. For superior productivity, the T 264’s hydraulic system offers efficient dump hoist performance that promotes fast cycle times.
Liebherr 'ultra class' mining trucks are operating in some of the harshest mining environments in the world. The range spans from arctic cold weather operations in Canada to Australian locations where temperature can reach over 42°C. Some of these surface mines are dedicated to the excavation of copper, coal, gold and iron ore.
