With 20 machine debuts at Bauma, LiuGong aims to be a Top 10 construction equipment maker

“The shift from ‘made in China’ to ‘created in China’ has inspired LiuGong to accelerate innovation in science and technology with the aim of becoming an industry leader,” says Guang’an Zeng, chairman, LiuGong Group and LiuGong Machinery, in remarks made Monday at the Bauma trade show in Munich, Germany.

The 61-year-old company’s vision is to be a top 10 global construction equipment manufacturer (today it is No. 21) and top three Chinese construction equipment manufacturer by 2025. Today, one-third of the company’s income is from overseas business. More than 100,000 LiuGong machines are now working outside of China.

One way of doing this is placing an emphasis on using global talent; for example, Kevin Thieneman, from North America, has been named the company’s new vice president of global strategy and aftersales. The company opened up a new European headquarters in Warsaw, Poland, and increased its European production base for excavators and wheel loaders, now being produced alongside Dressta dozers and pipe layers.

Zeng also said that the company is working on an electric-powered wheel loader and compact excavator and intends to launch them in China next year.

 

New machines

LiuGong and Dressta are showcasing a 20-machine line up at Bauma, including nine machines making their global debut at the show. These include:

LiuGong 410D motor grader

Due to a five-post cab with a single C-pillar, the LiuGong 410D motor grader, pictured above, has a 324-degree in-cab visibility which the company calls best-in-class.

New impact resistant materials offer better weight distribution and increase the machine’s recyclability, according to LiuGong. The 193-horsepower machine weights 34,171 pounds.

The grader recently won a Red Dot product design award. “All of the controls have been repositioned ergonomically, the amount of stretch  required has been designed for minimum efforts,” says Howard Dale, chairman of LiuGong Europe. The grader can also be retrofitted for a machine control system.

Designed for rental applications, the compact radius LiuGong 909 ECR excavator, uses a variety of attachments, including buckets and hammers. The 19,621-pound machine is powered by 59-horsepwoer engine.

 

LiuGong 950 demolition excavator

Liugong’s 950 demolition excavator was designed with partner Kocurek UK and features a 98.4-foot-long reach boom, which “allows the 950 to punch above its weight,” says LiuGong.

The change from high reach equipment to standard equipment – and vice versa – can be done in 30 minutes or less. The cab is modified from a standard machine by replacing the front window with a five-layer laminated glass and extending glass to the roof.

The front and roof glass are joined to the front screen to give operators additional upward visibility.

 

Dressta TD-15

The Dressta TD-15 dozer has been completely redesigned to make it compliant with European Stage V emission standards.

The 45,767-pound machine features load-sensing steering to provide more precise blade and ripper control, reducing fuel consumption up to 10 percent, says the company.

PHOTOS: The Equipment and Crowds of Bauma 2019 (Part 2)

More than any other trade show on the planet, Bauma, hosted every three years in Munich, Germany, is a walking show. After spending nearly a whole week at this year’s show, I checked my Apple Watch activity stats and found that I averaged nearly 10 miles of walking each day at the show thanks to countless trips up and down the “expressway” that cuts through the Munich convention center’s 18-building layout and in and out of the gargantuan outdoor exhibition area. According to show managers, a record 620,000+ people from more than 200 countries visited this year’s show. Apart from the crowds this was the largest Bauma yet in sheer size with more than 3,700 exhibitors spread across 2.1 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and an additional 4.5 million square feet of outdoor space. Only slightly behind the number of steps my watch logged during the show are the number of images I grabbed with my camera with the goal of giving our readers a feeling of what being at this show is li

Deere dealer West Side Tractor plans $14M HQ in Illinois

A rendering of the future West Side Tractor headquarters in Lisle, Illinois. West Side Tractor is planning a $14 million headquarters in the same town where the family-owned company was founded in 1962. The John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer has outgrown its 3.5-acre site in Naperville, Illinois, and is renovating two former auto dealerships on 11 acres in Lisle, where the Benck family started its business. The new site will allow the company to double its building space to 75,000 square feet over the current headquarters, once renovations are completed. Located at 3300 Ogden Avenue near Interstates 88 and 355, about 5 miles from the current site, it will not only consist of the corporate headquarters but will offer equipment sales and rentals, parts and service. It will also help bring new life and investment to a site that had closed due to the 2008 recession, the company says. “We’re proud of our roots and are thrilled to be able to reinvigorate this part
