From the first glance, Queensland-based Recycling Developments knew they had found a reliable addition to their fleet. The Liebherr R 922 Litronic crawler excavator instantly stood out as a robust, efficient, and operator-friendly machine—qualities that have proven invaluable since its introduction to their operations.
Recycling Developments, a family-run business in Yatala, specializes in construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling. Their services include everything from fixed and mobile crushing to recycled material sales, timber processing, and skip bin operations. Processing up to 700 tonnes of waste daily, the company needed a machine that could withstand demanding workloads while delivering consistent performance.
That’s where the R 922 came in.
With a powerful 120kW (163HP) Tier 4 engine and operating weight of up to 25 tonnes, the excavator has quickly become a key player in their daily operations. Whether breaking down large concrete pieces or working with attachments like a pulveriser or hammer, the R 922 has delivered versatility and strength without compromise.
Flexibility is a major factor for Recycling Developments, and the R 922 delivers on that front. The machine is compatible with a wide range of attachments—tilt buckets, sorting grabs, ditch cleaning buckets, and more—allowing operators to switch tasks efficiently without downtime. This adaptability is critical in a recycling environment where the nature of materials and workloads shift throughout the day.
Comfort also plays a crucial role in machine selection. The R 922 features a spacious, air-conditioned cab, a nine-inch color touchscreen display, and a fully adjustable pneumatic seat. Operators spend long hours in these machines, and their positive feedback speaks volumes. Ease of access is another plus, with ground-level service points and a safe, liftable cab console designed with operator protection and convenience in mind.
Safety has not been overlooked. Panoramic visibility, a built-in rear camera, a ROPS cab structure, and an emergency rear cab exit provide peace of mind for operators and crews working nearby. These features align perfectly with modern jobsite safety requirements.
What makes the partnership even stronger is Liebherr’s exceptional customer support. From proactive service check-ins to technical training and prompt assistance, the after-sales care has left a lasting impression on Recycling Developments. According to owner Phil Perrott, the experience has been so positive that additional Liebherr machines are now under consideration for future fleet expansion.
