Please brief us on LiuGong’s vertical lift wheel loader?
LiuGong has recently launched its revolutionary new product –the vertical lift wheel loader in conexpo 2017 USA. This truly new technology marks an important milestone for LiuGong and for the Chinese construction equipment industry. In vertical lift loaders we can increase payload by 35% with same engine horse power of parallel arm with 450 mm extra lift height.

The vertical lift was developed as an innovative way to increase customer value when purchasing a loader. Vertical lift accentuates the wheel loader’s primary function: lifting and carrying a load, by providing a heavier tipping load and a higher lift height than conventional wheel loaders of the same power and weight. Fuel costs are greatly reduced since the reduced operating weight of the vertical lift machine allows more tons material to be moved per horsepower than with a conventional radial lift machine. This allows customers to move more tonnes per hour for lower initial investment, and lower owning and operating costs than would be required with conventional technology.
