LiuGong has launched a wheel loader specifically designed for the requirements of the Middle East.
The CLG888 is a 30-tonne operating-weight loader with a 4.5m3 standard bucket size.
“The CLG888 wheel loader marks the start of a new era at LiuGong and introduces a new level of productivity and service ability to the Middle East market,” said the company.
The Middle East tuning is designed to allow the machine to work long hours in the heat, as well as in the dusty conditions typically faced by construction equipment.
This includes an improved radiator adapted for the heat, and an air pre-cleaner filter system which improves overall engine efficiency in dusty conditions, and prolongs the service life of main air-filter system.
The air-conditioning system is built using Japanese components, with larger fan capacity, which LiuGong says provides better reliability and comfort compared with past AC systems, with cooling and heating capacity increased by 35%.
The improved AC is part of a larger cab redesign, providing more workspace, broader visibility, and better noise insulation and shock absorption. An adjustable mechanical suspension seat provides more comfort for operators.
