In line with Liebherr’s firm belief that a comfortable operator is a pro- ductive one, the R 922 cab comes with a mechanical suspension seat, an enlarged space and ergonomic working environment. Depending on the operator’s needs, the “Comfort” seat can be selected as an option. This option is said to offer maximum comfort thanks to its air suspen- sion, several horizontal and vertical settings, as well as its adjustable pneumatic lumbar support. With ease of maintenance in mind, the working areas of the R 922’s uppercarriage are covered with anti-slid material to guarantee safe and easy access. The swing gear is greased for life and requires no daily maintenance. The batteries, all filters and most centralised lubri- cation points are accessible from the ground level, ensuring that daily maintenance and checks are quickly and easily performed. b
