Liugong highlights Electric Wheel Loaders

Said Nischal Mehrotra, Sr. Vice President - Sales & Marketing, Liugong India, “The wide range of road equipment reinforces our strength in road construction offerings. With our higher capacity excavators and wheel loaders we will be further expanding our business presence in the fast-growing mining sector.”
He informed that the company has sold six units of its 856 HEV, 5-ton wheel loaders to varied segments like mining and ports for bulk cargo handling applications and has received encouraging feedback on their performance and also for the technical support rendered by the company’s technicians, and for the safe operations of the loaders by trained operators.

“We are highly excited about the future business prospects of our electric wheel loaders. We are now looking to promote our EV 820, 2-ton wheel loader, and will be targeting the ready-mix concrete industry for material transportation and loading of the concrete mix. Our wheel loaders will be highly economical to own and operate for industry segments like power, ports, steel having abundant captive power. Higher availability of the loaders will be rendered only by 8-9 hours of charging.” Liugong has sold two units of the 2-ton to crushing plants.
The company has also ventured into the asphalt batch mix plants segment. Its principal company in China has completed acquisition of R&D machinery for this product line, following which, Liugong will be promoting its asphalt batch mix plants in India.
