The Beutlhauser Group delivers Germany’s first electric model of the Liebherr 200-ton excavator

The R9200E from Liebherr is the first electric-powered machine of this size to be used for earthmoving in Germany. The mining excavator, which Beutlhauser supplied to Lausitzer Grauwacke in Saxony, a Eurovia Gestein company, weighs 200 tons. Beutlhauser, in turn, is the largest Liebherr sales and service partner for earthmoving in Germany.

Since its launch two years ago, Liebherr’s R9200 has been the state-of-the-art model in the 200-tonne class. The electrically powered version is now a trendsetter. With a capacity of 12.5 cubic meters, the excavator is the largest in its class. The mining excavator is designed for dump trucks with payloads of up to 140 tons. The electric version has an electronic control system for performance monitoring. It optimizes the electrical, mechanical and hydraulic power distribution.

“We are committed to acting in an exemplary manner and strive for continuous improvements in the environmental sector, with the sustainable shaping of the future being a key objective,” says Division Manager Robert Finke from Eurovia Gestein. “That’s why we also opted for an electric drive when purchasing a replacement for a powerful extraction machine for conveying raw stone,” he adds. Liebherr has good references worldwide. The R9200E is a powerful 200-ton excavator with high availability and low operating and wear costs. The decision to choose Beutlhauser as a supply partner was also an obvious one for Eurovia Gestein. The Beutlhauser Group is one of the market-leading German trading and service companies specializing in the sale, rental and servicing of high-quality capital goods.

Open-cast quarrying in Lusatian graywacke

The R9200E is used in the Lusatian greywacke quarry in Lieske primarily for conveying blasted rock and loading S-trucks with a payload of 65 tons. Hard stone has been extracted from a 60-hectare open-cast quarry here since 1968. Greywacke has high strength, high frost and thaw resistance and high polishing resistance. For these reasons, this stone is particularly suitable for the production of mineral mixtures, in road and railroad construction and for the construction of harbor facilities and shore reinforcements.

When things get hectic in the office, it’s important to keep an overview. EVOline – the electrification module for the workplace – helps you do just that.

Formal reduction, glass transparency and technology-oriented design – Helmut Jahn designed the 22-storey office tower in Bremen’s new Überseestadt district according to these principles for the Murphy / Jahn architecture firm (Chicago). The fully glazed façade ensures bright and communicative interiors in the tower, which is designed for around 800 modern workstations. The comfort concept is also based on innovative building technology that works entirely without air conditioning. In addition to a geothermal system that regulates cold and heat in a natural way, flexible stainless steel slats and modern insulating glazing provide heat protection in summer and comfort in winter. When EWE Trading moved into its new location in the Weser Tower, it was therefore a logical step for the company to opt for smart technology and innovative design for its office equipment.

The new EWE Trading Floor on the 17th and 21st floors of the Weser Tower offers up to 100 workstations. Portfolio managers, traders and analysts come together here in the open-plan offices. They buy, sell and evaluate electricity, natural gas and other energy products. Good multitasking skills are part of their everyday business, as the electricity traders have to keep an eye on several screens at the same time, analyze price trends, make phone calls to traders on the exchange, calculate risks and make decisions. Clearly structured and reliable workstation equipment is therefore all the more important. With the EVOline Square80, employees are safe in the knowledge that they won’t be electrified between screens, keyboards and mice. The electrification module is discreetly integrated into the office desk surface and can be accessed in a single movement without having to search for a power socket.

Multifunctional and always available

The EVOline Square80 reveals its full potential in multitasking situations, as the electrification module offers far more functions than a conventional power strip. For example, a laptop can be easily connected to the power and data network while the smartphone charges wirelessly. The highlight here is the combination of function and design with the Schulte Elektrotechnik signature: the cover of the module designed for 80 mm openings can be easily slid to the side in order to use the socket and USB connections underneath. The cover itself has an optional Qi charging function that charges the battery of a smartphone via induction simply by placing it on the surface. When the connections are no longer needed, the Square80 blends elegantly and discreetly into the office desk surface when the cover is closed.
