Following a four month build in France, the R 9800 made an eight-week journey by ship to Port Kembla, south of Wollongong.

On arrival, the R 9800 was unloaded and, over four days, transported through Sydney to Bengalla’s onsite build pad.

It took Liebherr and Bengalla approximately 10 weeks to piece together the R 9800, with various sub-contractors and third-party contractors all working together to ensure a safe and efficient build.
