What is the price of a Liebherr boom cylinder?

The price depends on the excavator model, cylinder dimensions, version, and condition. A large crawler excavator cylinder is not valued the same as a compact wheeled excavator cylinder. Some stock is priced as-is; otherwise, call us at 05 53 96 16 43 with the reference number for a quote.

How does a hydraulic cylinder work?

A hydraulic cylinder converts oil pressure into linear force. Oil sent to one side of the piston extends the rod; sent to the other side, it retracts it. On an excavator, boom cylinders are double-acting and raise or lower the boom under the operator's continuous control. Piston and nose seals separate the two chambers.

What does the name Liebherr mean?

Liebherr is the family name of the founder, Hans Liebherr, who created the company in 1949 in Germany around an easy-to-assemble tower crane. The group then expanded to hydraulic excavators, loaders, mobile cranes, and components. Thus, the name is not an acronym but a family brand.

Who owns the Liebherr group?

The Liebherr family. After Hans Liebherr, his children Isolde and Willi Liebherr ran the group, which is now transitioning to the third generation. This continuity explains strong integration: cylinders, pumps, and hydraulic motors are largely designed in-house. Therefore, an original used part retains the specifications intended for the machine.

What is the most powerful hydraulic cylinder in the world?

There is no official ranking. At Liebherr, the largest cylinders equip the mining excavators of the R 9000 range, far beyond construction site excavators. On an R954 or R964, the boom cylinder is already a heavy and bulky part: plan for pallet transport and suitable lifting equipment upon delivery.
