The P 995 is based on Liebherr’s R 995 crawler excavator and is adapted for marine use by mounting it on a floating pontoon. It features fast cycle times, high digging forces, and a large panoramic cabin window for enhanced operator visibility.
This excavator has been utilized in major infrastructure projects, such as the construction of the JadeWeserPort in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. In this project, the P 995 was employed to dredge approximately 4 million cubic meters of challenging clay material. It operated continuously in three shifts, demonstrating its reliability and efficiency in demanding conditions.
