LiuGong has made strategic forays in the mining industry of India by supplying time tested and established 3T & 5T class wheel loaders viz CLG835 & CLG 856 respectively. These loaders, since inception in India, have created a niche market in the mining segment - coal, iron ore or stone quarrying. In the coal belts of Orissa (Talcher), Jharkhand (Dhanbad), Bellary, Hospet (Karnataka) & Bihar, the LiuGong 5 tons Loader – CLG 856 has a strong presence. This particular machine has proved itself as 'cash cow' to many coal mining contractors in these areas. Some of these prominent contractors who are proud owners are GLOBAL MINETECH, Sainik Mining, Aryan Coal, BLA, UTKAL HIGHWAY and RUNGTA etc. In the iron ore mines of Goa, SALGAOKAR MINING is having an impressive fleet of 62 machines; in stone quarrying operations in Bihar, C&C Group of Delhi owns more than 45 units. Apart from mining operations, the machine has equally proved its worth in tunneling operations for Hydel Power Projects and Metro Rail Projects etc.
After achieving resounding success for its wheel loaders, LiuGong introduced its Motor Grader - CLG 418, in the mining & road sectors and Hydraulic Excavator with its 20 T class which has earned a reputation for itself in the field of iron ore mining & road projects. To take success a step further, LiuGong is planning to introduce its 36T Hydraulic Excavator-CLG 936, which is one amongst the latest D series machines matching preva- iling emission norm of Tier II cities.
