    Liebherr R984C working on a highway project in germany.
    It has a 11,7 cubic yard bucket and 685 hp, weight is around 120 metric tons (132 short tons)

    That's a big machine to be working on highway construction - must be just under 100 tons.
    They use 984's for coal stripping operations here

    Some pics of the same machine. Its only used for mass excavation, so it has a short boom/stick for high digging forces and fast cycle times.

    R954 size and up the boom cylinders are installed with the rams down to help keep the dust off.

    You can also get them with factory "rock guards" which provide additional protection:
