Since its introduction in about 2017, the 909ECR excavator made by Chinese manufacturer LiuGong has established itself as a key addition to the manufacturer’s line-up of compact radius excavators. Designed to fill a gap in the 8–10 tonne size class, it was released targeting the growing rental market. This machine’s compact radius design allows for stability and versatility in applications ranging from road construction to inner-city projects, where space can be limited. It’s an adaptable machine capable of using a wide variety of attachments — from buckets to hammers — making it a versatile tool carrier on the jobsite.
