LiuGong’s 856H wheeled loader showcased for first time in Europe

LiuGong’s 856H wheeled loader with “new LiuGong DNA” is being showcased at INTERMAT 2015 for the first time in Europe in Tier 4 Final/Stage IV configuration. “The H-Series [wheeled loaders] has been completely designed to work efficiently, and to be easy to service and maintain,” said David Beatenbough, LiuGong’s vice president. “This is the first machine to display our new LiuGong DNA. Over the coming months and years you’ll see machines with the same visual cues as the 856H.”

269 LiuGong’s 856H wheeled loader with “new LiuGong DNA” is being showcased at INTERMAT 2015 for the first time in Europe in Tier 4 Final/Stage IV configuration.

“The H-Series [wheeled loaders] has been completely designed to work efficiently, and to be easy to service and maintain,” said David Beatenbough, LiuGong’s vice president. “This is the first machine to display our new LiuGong DNA.

Over the coming months and years you’ll see machines with the same visual cues as the 856H.”

Powered by a 196 Cummins QSB6.7 diesel equipped with proven variable geometry turbocharger technology to optimise torque, the 856H wheeled loader has a high pressure common rail fuel injection system, which also optimises fuel consumption. The engine powers the machine through a ZF driveline system, and the 856H also features a ZF AP3000 axle. The axle housing and main transmission system are reinforced to increase strength and the machine’s carrying capacity has been increased by 40% from the previous model. The ZF 4WG200 transmission is said to work to achieve optimal output. An automatic shift transmission with kick down function and electric proportional FNR lever make operating more convenient.

Of the 856H wheeled loader’s new eight-sided cab design, Beatenbough said: “This increases the visibility in the rear corners, contributing to the good visibility all the way round the machine. Inside, the cab is wider offering more space. It’s now one of the widest cabs in the industry.”

Beatenbough also stressed the easy maintenance of the 856H. The forward tilting engine hood is equipped with an electric lifting device and allows for ground level access to service points to increase accessibility to components. The hydraulic driving fan motor can be reversed for cleaning, and the water and oil drains are placed together to speed up maintenance and service tasks.

LiuGong has big hopes in North America for its new 856H-E MAX wheeled loader

The 856H-E MAX is capable of 10 hours of working time for light applications and eight hours for heavy applications. It also features an Intelligent Battery Management System that can be fast charged in 90 minutes.

“The industry is talking about battery electric vehicles at a greater volume than in years past,” said Andrew Ryan, president, LiuGong North America.

“LiuGong is the world’s largest manufacturer of wheeled loaders, so it makes sense for our company to lead the industry in the adoption and application of battery technology.”

The 856H-E MAX has already proven its reliability in the field, with more than 2,000 electric wheeled loaders operating in the world’s toughest conditions as of October 2022, and exponential growth is expected.

Its reliability is reinforced by the IP67-rated wiring harness and waterproof integrated battery package. All of that is backed by a standard five-year or 10,000-hour warranty for the battery, motor, and controller.

LiuGong says the 856H-E MAX thrives in work sites where traditional combustion engines aren’t allowed, or in fixed-site operations where investments in charging infrastructure make sense.

In addition to making work easier, the wheeled loader’s new electric technologies are also environmentally conscious while offering a competitive total cost of ownership. The 856H-E MAX consumes zero fuel, produces zero emissions, and creates significantly lower noise and vibration levels.

The 856H-E MAX features intelligent controls and a human-centric design for a claimed superior operator experience. This includes load-sensing hydraulics, an EAT700 transmission with an electro-proportional valve for fast, smooth shifting, and independent control of the dual-motor drive for maximum hydraulic lift.

The LiuGong Intelligent Auto Digging System automatically carries out repetitive digging cycles to reduce operator fatigue. Its electric control box also improves transmission efficiency compared to conventional machines.

The vehicle was designed around the operator to provide the highest levels of safety, visibility, and comfort, says the Chinese manufacturer. Its cab has full ROPS (roll over) protection and systems are in place to significantly reduce dust and noise contamination.
