Does any member have info, pics of this new model of mining excavator?
Rumour has it, that there may be a few prototype units on trial in Australia!
I think it is about 400 tonnes, with a bucket cap. of approx. 22cu m....
Any info would be appreciated.

I would say that it is the new numbers for the 995.

This is a completely new model and is not the replacement for the R995.It fits in between the R9350 and R995.
R9350:- 300-310 mt,{18 cu m}
R9400:- 380-400 mt{22 cu m} These are approximate values/specs.
R995:- 440-450 mt{26,5 cu m}

There is a little shift to finally fine tuning digger sizing to trucks and 380-400 ton is a perfect size for loading 200 ton trucks.
