The market for wheeled loaders represents the biggest off-highway equipment segment in LiuGong's home market of China and the company has a considerable share of this business with its successful range. Based on this experience, Liugong hopes to capture market share in the competitive North American wheeled loader market with its latest models such as the 816III. Interestingly the machine is being offered in the US market with a three year/3,000 hour warranty package for the power train and hydraulic system; a deal that may help attract customers.
