Caterpillar 313 vs Liebherr R 926
The Liebherr R 926 is about 96% heavier than the Caterpillar 313 (27,060 vs 13,800 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Liebherr in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
