Chinese heavy equipment brand, LiuGong, is set to introduce several new machinery models into the Australian market this year that it said will complete its landscaping offerings.
The 5.5-tonne 9057 mini excavator will complete its zero-swing excavator series that will now range from 1.7 tonnes to 5.5 tonnes.
LiuGong Australia’s distributor rep, Jason Lyall, said the mini excavators had received praise for their versatility, manoeuvrability, reliability, performance, and affordability.
“They are easy machines to operate for a range of landscaping tasks, and, with their Yanmar engines and advanced hydraulic systems, they pack a punch and are very smooth and efficient,” he said.
“They also feature internationally-sourced and well-known components, as well as quiet, spacious cabs.”
A new 9035 model is also expected to join LiuGong’s F series excavators early this year.
LiuGong Australia also expects to launch a new range of skid steer loaders in early 2024, completing its landscaping offerings. The skid steer range will feature four models ranging from three to six tonnes.
They are powered by Yanmar and Perkins engines which LiuGong trusts to provide excellent performance and fuel economy.
“The skid steers are compatible with all types of attachments and they will handle any job in front of them,” Lyall said.
High-strength protection systems and easy maintenance were other big features with both the skid steers and mini excavators, Lyall added.
With the new releases, LiuGong Australia is promising enhanced access to parts and excellent product support.
“Operators are liking the reliability of the machines as well as the related support,” Lyall said.
“With the sheer volume of LiuGong machines now in the market and the significant investment in after-market support, operators can have confidence knowing they have got very strong backup and support for their machines and their business.”
