LiuGong has brought its largest excavator, the 95-metric-ton 995F, to the U.S. market.
The excavator runs on a 608-horsepower Perkins engine and is equipped with a 7.3-cubic-yard heavy-duty rock bucket. It has a max digging depth of 23 feet 7 inches and a max digging reach of 41 feet. The boom and arm have been reinforced for additional strength. The front and rear boom plates have also been reinforced. Skid Steer Brush Mower
Controls are electro-hydraulic, and it has three operating modes: Economy, Standard and Power.
Features include auto idle; auto shutdown, which cuts off the engine when the excavator is not in use after a set time; auto boost, which can be operated manually by joystick or automatically for a 9% increase in hydraulic power when breaking through tough ground; and a boom float function designed to reduce stress when breaking rocks or grading hard surfaces.
A new side-by-side cooling system has easy-to-clean cores and a smart variable-speed fan that can run in reverse to blow out debris, the company says.
Equipment World For access and maintenance, LiuGong provided wide opening engine covers, a surrounding catwalk, large steps with handrails and anti-skid surface, as well as centralized lubrication points.
The FOPS pressurized cab gets a heated air-suspension seat, A/C vents, Bluetooth media system, cupholder, phone charger and cooler. The company says the operator has all-around visibility and comfortable, ergonomic controls.
LiuGong says it gave the 995F greater digging force, faster cycle times and greater fuel economy.
