l The model SL968 loader is a long-wheelbase product with Euro style well built by Lingong Construction Machinery for the middle and high-end markets at home and abroad technologies and upgraded with 65 innovations for better reliability on the basis of the 08 design export model, this product is equipped with a counter shaft electro-hydraulic shift transmission with pilot single-handle control to achieve such outstanding features as high operating efficiency, easy and flexible operation, large lifting power, and good machine stability, It is especially suitable for working in such rough operating conditions as mines and primary soils. Engine C6121 Shangchai Engine has a strong power, big torque reserve ability, low fuel consumption, low noise and high reliability. Horizontal air filtration makes the maintenance easier and optimized design of shock absorber improves the supporting stability. Transmission and Torque Converter Reliable ZF gear shift transmission KD function, four forward and three reverse, new shock absorber has improved the efficiency. Engine Bonnet With streamlined appearance, the loader’s engine bonnet is widened to leave more space for heat elimination and maintenance of engine. Cab The inner decoration of new-typed steel cab is similar to that of car, optimized design of wind path allows wind blow from the front, out-set cooling and warming equipment improve the sealing and meanwhile enlarge the operation space. New-typed shock-absorbing and vibration suspended seats with high and adjustable back support, Fops/ Rops cab is optional. Hydraulic System Pilot single handle manipulator, flux amplifier valve hydraulic steering, optimized steering column and steering wheel, large-displacement working pump, high lifting speed, excellent standard Lingong double-sealed hydraulic adaptor, optimized design of connecting pipe, whole forged steel pipes are adapted in critical parts increase its impact-resistant ability and reliability. Drive Axle Lingong 5-ton series strengthen driving axles are high in load-bearing capacity and reliability because of the excellent performance and mature technology, Rear axle oscillating with large swing angle and strong cross-country and climbing ability assure the machine of operating well in rough terrain. Structural Members Optimized FEA design for structural parts of the whole machine has been through 100,000 times fatigue test, front and rear frames are plate structure, reasonable weight distribution of the whole machine, high bearing capacity, strength and reliability Electrical System Semi-automatic gearshift and pilot double lever operating, 4-forward and 3-reverse gearshifts, KD function as well as I-gear II-gear automatic shifting lead the machine to operate easily, lower operator’s intension and improve working efficiency.
