LiuGong boosts excavator and dozer line-ups
More offerings for Australian customers across a variety of civil and agricultural applicationsLiuGong continues to widen its terms of reference, with the brand launching two new excavators and a dozer in Australia.
The new 22-tonne and 33-tonne 922F and 933F excavators, as well as a 20-tonne LD dozer with a Power-Angle-Tilt blade, will feature at the upcoming National Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo in Sydney from May 16 to 18. The 922F will also flex its muscles in the dig pit at the expo.
The new excavators are suitable for quarry, waste, recycling and civil works, and take their place in a 23-strong local line-up with power outputs ranging from 35kW to 567kW and operating weights from 5180kg to 122,000kg.

Meanwhile, the LD20D dozer can trace its heritage to European manufacturer, Dressta, which LiuGong purchased a decade ago.
The dozer range will soon be expanded again with 28- and 40-tonne versions for use in landfill, agriculture, quarrying and civil activities.
The excavators and dozer continue to feature the latest maintenance-friendly Cummins engines with an auto gear-shifting function, but the cabin in the new excavators has undergone a major facelift.
“It’s all-new European styling with a larger cabin and updated operating features, incorporating advanced technologies that steps it up to any alternatives in the market,” said Liam McCormick from LiuGong Australia. “All functions, including hydraulics, can be adjusted from inside the cab.”
The new electro-hydraulic system provides ultra-fast signals between the joysticks, pumps and valve blocks to deliver pinpoint precision and maximise available engine power, while new boom float technology improves performance and prolongs tool life by preventing excessive pressure during braking applications. It also reduces fuel consumption by allowing the boom to fall under its own mass.
The boom float, travel speed and proportional auxiliary controls are customisable and fingertip-controlled.
The operator interface now features a large, 8.0-inch LCD colour screen controlled via touchscreen or by a control dial.
There is also a centralised diagnostic interface, and the machine monitors and provides alerts of any faults.
