SDLG’s new L968F wheeled loader

Shandong Lingong Machinery Co (known as Lingong) has launched a new wheeled loader from its 5316 SDLG range of F series machines.

The new units are said to offer improved design and functionality. The Tier III- compliant SDLG L968F is a higher-specification wheeled loader designed for construction, mining and aggregates applications.

The 6tonne-rated machine is said to offer a low-revs and high torque engine that is low on emissions and “high on fuel economy”. With an SDLG-designed VRT200 rigid-axle transmission converter and synchronised four-speed transmission, the L968F offers improved stability on rough terrain and better traction in dangerous conditions.

The machine’s hydraulic core is centrally arranged for easy maintenance and service, while the enlarged cab improves visibility and operator comfort. CE-certification has been achieved for the new L968F and it will be available to customers in Turkey, through SDLG’s exclusive dealer.  

The company has also updated its L959F (an update to the LG958L), another CE-certified wheeled loader which was launched into Turkey last year.

The new updated L959F offers a maximum breakout force of 152kN and can also be fitted with a 3.1m³ bucket for optimum material handling.

SDLG’s president, Yu Mengsheng, said partnering with strong sales and service companies in its export markets was a crucial part of the company’s strategy.
