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.
