The first excavator started operations last April and the second one in August 2025. Both machines were integrated into the Sentinel mine operations, which is part of the Trident project operated by First Quantum Minerals. These units join an existing fleet at the mine, which includes 15 T 284 trucks, two R 9250 excavators and two R 9100s.
Although Liebherr and Kascco had a business relationship that focused on construction equipmentThis delivery represents the first foray into mining equipment. The move reflects the growing demand for high-capacity solutions from Kascco, one of the country’s largest contractors.
The R 9350 represents a major improvement in our mining efficiency. We are confident that its integration will raise our operating standards.
Omar Fakir, Kascco’s chief operating officer.
The Liebherr Zambia subsidiary has established a direct technical presence in Kalumbila to ensure the operational performance of the excavators. Specialized technicians will be dedicated to providing maintenance and support on the project, allowing Kascco to maintain its productivity levels and operational availability.
We are committed to Kascco’s growth and this alliance reaffirms our ability to deliver high-performance mining solutions.
Sébastien Tomasina, general manager of Liebherr Zambia.
