At the 2014 Construction Machinery Exhibition in Bern (Switzerland), Liebherr presents the crawler excavator R 960 SME. The excavator in the 60-tonnes class has been introduced to the public at Bauma 2013 in Munich (Germany). It takes the place of the Super Mass Excavation version of the R 954 C. In Bern, the R 960 SME is on display with a 6.7 m mono boom, a 2.8 m stick and an HD backhoe holding 3.25 m³ with hydraulic quick connection system.

This excavator can be used with buckets of up to 3.5 m³ capacity. The Liebherr inline 6-cylinder engine that powers the R 960 SME has a rated output of 250 kW (340 hp) and complies with the Stage IIIB / Tier 4i emission limits.

For heavy-duty extraction work or bulk excavation, the R 960 SME has a number of special features, for example kinematics chosen for arduous working conditions, with uprated dipper arm and bucket rams compared with the standard version. With this specification the R 960 SME reaches tearout forces of up to 287 kN and breakout forces up to 346 kN. To protect the steel structure, there are guards under the dipper arm and gooseneck boom.
