269 LiuGong Construction Machinery says doubling its North American-based equipment sales in 2011, compared to the previous 12 months, reinforces the company's goal of being among the world's top 10 equipment manufacturers by 2015.

The China-based firm claims much of its sales growth is due to its expanding network of dealers and staff throughout the United States and Canada. In addition to the 50,000 sales a year of its Wheel Loader line, LiuGong Construction Machinery (LCM) offers hydraulic excavators, vibratory soil compactors, skid steer loaders, and backhoe-loaders to the North American marketplace.

With Tier IV engine technology displayed on its CLG842IV model wheel loader at 3485 Conexpo 2011, LCM plans to offer both TPEM and Tier IV engine models in its future equipment lines. LCM also plans to make its bulldozers and motor graders available through its North American dealers, along with other earthmoving, asphalt production and asphalt maintenance products. Although on sale to the Chinese and other global markets, the products will be modified to meet North American sale criteria.

With its main headquarters in Liuzhou, China, LCM has been manufacturing construction equipment for more than 50 years and has ten subsidiary global locations. Its US headquarters opened in Houston, Texas, in 2008. It was chosen due to its central location which allows the company to provide more efficient parts and service support to customers and dealers.
