1/50 Custom Liebherr R 9800 Excavator "Roy Hill" Mining (Custom Painted and Decaled) !! (Copy)

Brand New - NIB. This is a custom painted and decaled model of the Roy Hill Liebherr R9800, the largest mining excavator in the Liebherr range.  It has an operating weight of around 810 tonnes in shovel configuration and the bucket capacity is 42m³. 
Liebherr-Australia marked the end of its ‘Every Bucket Counts’ campaign by delivering a cheque for AU$50,000 to support breast cancer research at the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The campaign focused on one of Hancock Iron Ore’s R 9800 excavators. Prior to the delivery of the machine earlier this year, the Liebherr-Australia fabrication team painted both its counterweight and bucket bright pink.

The pink R 9800 at the heart of the ‘Every Bucket Counts’ campaign was the second of three excavators Liebherr-Australia has delivered to Roy Hill mine in recent years. The first, an R 9400, was delivered in late 2024, which marked a new chapter in the relationship between Liebherr-Australia and Hancock Iron Ore. Liebherr-Australia handed over the third machine, a second R 9800, in May 2025.
