Positive customer feedback focuses on the machine’s improved stability and stronger 30m long reach boom which allows the 950 to punch well above its weight.

The design of the attachment group also allows changing of standard equipment to high reach equipment and vice-versa in 30 minutes or less. This design of modular joint is now over 20 years in production and is well proven having been incorporated into over 700 units working in the field on 20 ton to 150-ton base machines. Greater reach and the ability to handle heavy weight attachments ensures that the 950 gets the job done faster.

Operator comfort and safety are top priority in this demolition application excavator. The cab is modified by replacing the front window screen with 5-layer laminated glass and also to the same modification, including extending, to the roof glass. The front and roof glass are then butt joined to the front screen to give unsurpassed upward vision for the operator when working his attachments. Thanks to increased visibility with the tilted cabin, a ROPS/FOPS certified cab and standard rear-view camera, the operator can focus on the job with confidence. 

KEY FEATURES

  • PRODUCTIVITY AND BREAKOUT FORCE:

The new Cummins engine combined with Kawasaki variable displacement axial pump maximizes breakout force for toughest applications. The Intelligent Power Control harmonizes engine and pump operation resulting in increased productivity and decreased fuel consumption. Increased swash plate angle reduces the fuel consumption ad noise. The spherical valve plate and improved hydraulic balance provide stable cylinder rotation, thus achieving high efficiency.

  • DURABILITY AND STABILITY:

The highly strengthened X-Frame undercarriage provides greater structural rigidity and resistance to twisting forces resulting in distributing torsional stress. Increasing the durability and stability of the machine.

  • VISIBILITY AND COMFORT WITH TILTED DEMOLITION CAB:

Good visibility and comfort are essential for today’s operator. These two factors affect the productivity, efficiency of the operator and operating safety. The LiuGong panoramic view cab offers the operator a more comfortable working environment, resulting in improved productivity. The TILTED CAB is modified by replacing the front and roof window screens with 5-layer laminated glass. The front and roof glass are then butt joined to the front screen to give unsurpassed upward vision for the operator when working his attachments. Thanks to increased visibility with the tilted ROPS/FOPS certified cab and standard rear-view camera, the operator can focus on the job with confidence.

  • TOUGHER BOOM AND ARM:

The reinforced single piece boom and arm distributes the stress throughout the structure, these in turn are supported with forgings and castings pin holes resulting in a durable structure offering long working hours. The confidence in LiuGong machine quality is further underlined by one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry.

  • BOOM HOLDING VALVE:

Boom holding valve is a kind of pressure control valve to prevent loads on cylinders dropping in an uncontrolled manner. For this purpose, the pressure is set higher than the largest possible load. A hydraulic piston controls the opening of the valve to achieve the required lowering velocity.

  • MODULAR DESIGN:

The design of the Demolition attachment also allows changing of standard boom & arm group to the high reach equipment and vice-versa in 30 minutes or less.

NEW 877H WHEEL LOADER – HEAVYWEIGHT CREDIBILITY
It’s a tough world and the 877H lives up to LiuGong’s promise of “Tough Equipment.” For customer applications which require heavy lifting the 877H delivers more power for less consumption. The Cummins Stage 4 engine is designed to develop more power at low speed, maximizing torque output. The power shift transmission and advanced load sensing hydraulics combine to deliver superior breakout force with speed and agility. Efficiency is improved further by the Intelligent Power Cut Off function, which improves braking and supports the hydraulics in reducing fuel consumption. The 877H also features operator safety and comfort improvements including enhanced dust filtration which significantly improves the cab environment.

  • INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL – IPC :

A brainbox system makes the LiuGong Wheel Loader a high productive machine with low fuel consumption and gives the operator high precise controllability.

  • LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL AND WET BRAKE DISCS:

Limited slip differential limits the amount of power that is sent to another one if the one wheel is loose in traction. Wet Multi Disc Brakes reduce the breaking losses. Resulting in improved efficiency, increased brake capacity and better traction as well as reduced wears on brakes, on tyre and on axle shafts.

  • Z-BAR:

Maximizing the utilization of the machine starts with matching the machine configuration to application. Z-Bar maintains high torque in a lower lift arm position, providing high breakout force. The Z-Bar also tends to roll back when boom raised, that keeps the material in the bucket.

  • BOOM KICK-OUT:

The valve has four positions: lift, hold, lower, and float. Inductive/magnetic automatic boom kick-out can be switched on and off and is adjustable to two positions: bucket at ground level and maximum reach full lifting height.
