LiuGong’s newest production class wheel loader is the first
in the company’s wheeled loader line-up to feature the EPA-compliant Tier 4
interim engine.
The fuel-efficient 842IV Z-bar has a 193 net peak horsepower
(144kW) Cummins QSB6.7-C200
six-cylinder, four-cycle turbo-charged, water-cooled diesel Tier 4 interim
engine.
The ZF 4WG200 4/3 automatic shift
transmission with a single-stage, three-element torque converter transfers that
engine power to provide a break-out force of 30,574lbs (13,868.4kg). Travel
speeds for the 842IV Z-bar range from 26.2mph (42km/hour) forward and 16.5mph
(26.4km/hour) in reverse.
LiuGong said the 842IV Z-bar
automatic boom kick-out/return-to-dig feature ensures fast cycle times for
loading using the standard 3.5 cubic yard (2.68m³) general purpose bucket with
reversible cutting edge.
The Z-bar linkage configuration
provides excellent digging capacity and the 842IV static tipping load rating is
25,640 pounds (11,630kg) straight and 22,311 pounds (10,120kg) in a full turn.
LiuGong’s standard ride control
system and single-lever pilot controls reduce operator fatigue and allow more
efficient loading operations. Daily maintenance is simplified with an
automatic, electrically raised engine hood.
