- Measure the distance between the pin centres.
- Measure the width between the inside faces of the ears.
If the coupler has a make or type printed on it, send that too.

What the R 998 SME Litronic figures mean for its attachments
- The main pump delivers up to 996 l/min at 350 bar. That is the pump output of the whole machine, not the flow an attachment gets.
- Liebherr lists this quick coupler for it: SWA 105 hydraulic. The bracket on every attachment has to match the coupler.
- It digs down to 7,750 mm. That is the deepest trench it can open.
- Its maximum reach is 12,650 mm.
- It dumps at up to 8,650 mm, so a truck or skip side has to sit below that height.
- Liebherr offers arms from 2,900 to 3,300 mm. A longer arm reaches further, a shorter one handles a heavier bucket.
- Liebherr lists buckets from 2,200 to 2,550 mm wide for this machine. Compare that with the bucket widths in the table above.
- Liebherr lists bucket capacities from 5.2 to 7.2 m³.
- Liebherr gives a lifting capacity of 35,800 kg. Check a heavy grab or hammer, plus its load, against the full load chart.
- For transport it measures 13,800 x 5,315 x 5,250 mm (length, width, height).
- Engine power is 420 kW.

Before you order: check the interface
The weight class of the Liebherr R 998 SME Litronic sizes the attachment. It does not tell you the pin diameter, the pin spacing or the stick width, and those decide whether an attachment fits. Measure them on the machine, or send us the measurements of the bucket it runs today.
Heavy excavators dig rock, load trucks and work in quarries, so wear decides the bucket as much as capacity does. Rock and reinforced buckets carry thicker wear steel, teeth and side cutters, and the bucket is sized to the trucks it loads and to the density of the material.
- Measure the diameter of both bucket pins.
- Measure the distance between the pin centres.
- Measure the inside width between the stick ears.
- If the machine runs a quick coupler, note its make and type.
