LiuGong News
Las Vegas, USA – March 10, 2020 – LiuGong will show 15 machines at the 2020 CONEXPO-CON/AGG show featuring state-of-the-art technologies that make them well-suited to the demanding North American market.
LiuGong’s display at the show is expected to reflect themes arising from a “What’s it about” dialogue between LiuGong North America and its family of dealers. To be successful in the highly competitive North America environment, LiuGong is taking steps above and beyond its competitors.
Our goal is equipment solutions that offer North American customers the most competitive total cost of ownership throughout its full line of equipment. The initiative includes organizational enhancements that ensure continuing delivery on its commitment.
They know it’s about uptimes and bottom lines, sturdy machines and firm handshakes, options and features that all come standard, toughness on the outside, but operator comfort within, saving without sacrificing and about putting LiuGong to the test to deliver.
Mani Iyer, president of LiuGong North America, said: “Our wheel loaders, excavators, dozers and forklifts are tested and proven around the world. Now we have an organization and support mechanisms in place in North America that bring the full benefits of our global organization to our dealers and customers.”
LiuGong’s ability to offer its customers such competitive equipment is also due in large part to the strategic and joint venture partnerships it maintains with global leaders like Cummins, ZF, Rexroth and Kawasaki. It not only means LiuGong machines feature the latest advances in components and technology but also one of the market’s most competitive warranty programs.
Machine highlights of the 2020 CONEXPO-CON/AGG show include the North American premier of its new F-Series excavators: the 9018F, 9027FZTS and 922F models.
Launched at BICES Beijing in September 2019, the F-Series is the sixth generation of LiuGong excavators. The F-Series platform allows for localization of the products. It was designed for North America, Western Europe and China but also is suitable for emerging markets and is well-suited to a variety of applications from construction and mining to forestry.
LiuGong will also be displaying several compact excavators of special interest to the North American rental market, including its 9035EZTS and 909ECR excavators. The 9035EZTS is a zero-tail swing design with 0.14 yd3 bucket capacity. The 909ECR is a compact radius tail swing excavator with 0.37 yd3 bucket capacity. Both are ideal for tight workspaces such as those often encountered in utility and landscape work.
A straight blade with blade float comes standard on the 9035EZTS and is available as an option for the 909ECR. Like all LiuGong machines, the strikingly attractive design of these compact excavators increases their “curb appeal” – adding further value for their owners that is often overlooked.
Additionally, LiuGong is showing its next generation 2D machine control platforms for excavators. Intuitive, easy-to-learn software running on simple operating systems enables operators of all skill levels to work faster and more productively. The 2D/3D platform is becoming the industry standard for excavators and is being applied to both LiuGong’s E and F-Series and select dozers.
A world leader in design and manufacture of wheel loaders, LiuGong is giving North American customers a chance to see the new Stage V 856H and Tier 4 Final 877H models firsthand. The Stage V 856H was launched in Europe last April. The 877H, which fills a gap in LiuGong’s offerings of wheel loaders’ bucket capacity, making it complete from 2.5 to 7.1 yd3. It has already received positive feedback from both LiuGong dealers and their customers.
The new Dressta TD-16N dozer being unveiled at CONEXPO 2020 features best-in-class visibility, as well as improved safety and performance. Visibility is one of the top core-design focuses of the new TD-16N. No other make or model rivals the view the TD-16N now offers operators around its cab and of the blade, ripper and tracks. The new TD-16N will rewrite the rulebook for the industry.
Completing LiuGong’s line-up at the show is a 950E excavator, a 388B skid steer loader, a LSC0607DE slab scissor and three forklifts: 2025G, 2025G-C and 2030H.
Kevin Thieneman, LiuGong Vice President and Chairman of LiuGong North and Latin America, said, “We want to be the choice for customers who desire construction and material handling equipment that is affordable, reliable and can get the job done with the lowest total cost of ownership.”
By not only putting LiuGong’s machines to the test in the field but by putting our organization to the test, LiuGong North America will prove to its dealers and customers, our commitment to this market and to them.
LiuGong will be exhibiting at CONEXPO from 10-14 March in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, Booth #F6781.
