Attachments
- A snow plow is a device that allows you to remove and clear roads and sidewalks of snow and accumulated debris. The most technically advanced is the hydraulic blade, with which, unlike its mechanical counterpart, you do not need to leave the cab to adjust the angle of the blade. So, in the case of hydraulics, the operator just needs to turn the lever in the appropriate direction, after which the work tool will automatically adjust.
- Pallet forks are a mounted mechanism for lifting and moving goods that are usually placed on pallets (pallets). Essentially, pallet forks make it easy to convert a front-end loader into a forklift. This makes it more versatile and functional.
- A telescopic boom is a lifting mechanism equipped with a special articulated support and a crane hook. The hinged support, in turn, ensures rotation of the hook in any plane. The lifting capacity of the hook and boom as a whole is 4000 tons.
- The log grabber is one of the most popular attachment options for a front loader. The main range of tasks is loading and unloading logs, as well as moving them over long distances within the work site. It is also possible to work with other cylindrical objects. We note the presence of flexible hydraulic hoses with modern production technology. These hoses guarantee precise and uninterrupted operation of the entire device, even in the event of high pressure in the hydraulic system.
- A fork is an effective attachment for a front loader, common among organizations that specialize in loading, manufacturing, storing and recycling pipes with a diameter of about 400 mm. On request, you can install pipes with a clamp (or holder) to tenaciously and tightly hold cylindrical structures.
- A snow bucket is a tool for removing snow, including large and icy snowdrifts. This is an indispensable attachment for working in winter. It is made from a durable metal alloy with beneficial anti-corrosion properties. Ideally copes with dry, wet, freshly fallen and compacted snow.
- The loading bucket is another loading bucket option that is in demand among the attachments for this model. Used for transporting mainly bulk cargo. We note the presence of convenient bucket mounts, thanks to which you can quickly dismantle the bucket, and thereby simplify the process of installing some other option.
- A bulldozer bucket is a powerful device that turns a loader into a full-fledged bulldozer. It is equipped with a special rotating function, thanks to which it is possible to adjust the bucket so that it throws snow in a certain direction, depending on the setting - to the front, left and right sides.
- A double-jaw bucket is an effective loading device consisting of two “jaws” - working parts that lock together and thereby hold the load so that it does not spill out during transportation.
- The grab bucket is another variation of the classic bucket, which works with materials with a density of 1200 kg per cubic meter. In particular, this can be garbage, manure, loosened haylage, silage, paper, wood chips, rags and other materials. In any case, their permissible weight can reach 4000 kg.
- The brush is a utility tool that is very popular among road services. Effectively removes and sweeps up dirt, debris, dust or freshly fallen snow.
- Forks with a clamp - a lifting device with the ability to lift up to 4000 kg of cargo - loosened haylage, straw, hay, mown grass, rags and flax fiber.
- The blade blade is a tool for removing snow and plays a supporting role. Installed on a blade to remove snow barriers and large volumes of snow, including frozen snowdrifts. The blade blade is made of high-strength alloy that is resistant to damage. Deformation of the knife is excluded even in the event of a collision with a serious obstacle (for example, large stones and cobblestones).
Device Features
- The XCMG ZL50G front loader features a stylish signature design that is inspired by XCMG's most flagship products. Of course, this is not the most important thing. After all, for an experienced business executive, productivity, which is at the highest level, is much more important. Consider the lifting capacity of about 5,000 kg, as well as a standard loading bucket with a volume of 3 cubic meters. m. At the same time, the maximum force can reach 17 tons, which is an excellent result for this price category. This allows you to carry out large-scale construction work without fear of overload, and experience the maximum economic benefit from this. Thanks to the powerful power plant, high torque and decent traction characteristics are provided.
- The basic package includes an air filter of a different design, designed to clean the air entering the cabin from dust and dirt - in fact, this is one of the elements of environmental safety, as in the case of double fuel filters - for the sake of compliance with European environmental standards Euro3 and higher. In addition, we note a powerful cooling system, which is adapted to the most severe climatic conditions - for example, to the northern regions of Russia. This ensures trouble-free operation of the loading device. The hydraulic drive, in turn, also pleases with its trouble-free operation in such conditions, including when reaching maximum load capacity.
- The machine is based on a frame base reinforced with hinged supports. This not only increases strength, but also increases stability on uneven surfaces, as well as when working with the front bucket at an angle relative to the main axis. The chassis is represented by powerful high-profile wheels with deep tread, which allows maneuvers on all types of soil, including snow. A convenient lever mechanism is provided to control all mechanisms of the loader. Thanks to the high loading height, it is possible to work with dump trucks that have high sides.
- High levels of maintainability and ease of maintenance. For example, there is no need to look for special equipment for refueling, and there is no need to change the battery during multi-shift operation, as is the case with electric models.
- Practicality with a long haul of cargo transportation, as well as the lowest retail cost than electric machines of similar power.
Disadvantages: mediocre environmental friendliness, the need to purchase additional fuel filters and soot “catchers” for more environmentally friendly operation, the engine is demanding on fuel quality, more frequent maintenance due to the need to regularly replace engine oil, fuel and air filters and other consumables.

The XCMG LW500FN front loader is equipped with a Weichai engine model WD10G220E23. Diesel power at 2,000 rpm is 162 kW (maximum value). The power unit is certified in accordance with the requirements of the Tier 2 standard. Engine type - vertical, in-line, four-stroke. Traditionally, there is direct injection, cooling is water.
The following values of fuel and oil consumption are indicated by the manufacturer as standard: 238 and 2 g/kWh, respectively. The fuel tank holds up to 230 liters of fuel, 20 liters of oil are poured into the engine.
The maximum traction force that the XCMG LW500FN front loader is capable of is 110 kN. Breakout force can reach 175 kN.
The loader is equipped with two drive axles manufactured by Meritor, USA. The maximum turning radius at the extreme dimensions is 6,172 mm, the articulation angle is 35 degrees, and the rear axle swing angle is 12 degrees. Wheelbase - 2,900 mm. The maximum slope that the LW500FN can overcome is 28 degrees. Tire size - 23.5-25.
The speed characteristics of the model are as follows. When moving from one work site to another, the machine can accelerate to 38 km/h (third gear). When moving backwards, only two gears are available, the maximum value is 16.5 km/h. If we talk about the time allotted for performing work operations, then a full work cycle takes 9.9 seconds. In this case, 5.5 seconds are allotted for raising the boom.
Filling tanks: oil is poured into the box in a volume of 45 liters, working hydraulic oil - 200 liters.
The manufacturer preferred a hydromechanical transmission with continuously variable gear shifting under load. The clutch is installed from the ZF company, the clutch type is single-level three-element. Cooling is accomplished by circulating oil.
The reliability of the design is ensured by the rear half-frame made of steel sheet, the welding method is argon-arc. The hood also has a steel frame.
As with other models in this class, mechanically controlled levers are used to control the loader. Joysticks are available upon special order. The brake system of the XCMG LW500FN front loader is hydraulic (4 wheels).
The front boom cylinders have dimensions of 160x850 mm, the bucket tilt cylinders have dimensions of 180x585 mm.
As standard, the loader comes with an adjustable seat. Air conditioning is offered as an additional option.
Additionally, we note that the height of unloading materials is just over 3 meters - 3,090 mm. This makes it possible to load both dump trucks and bunkers in asphalt concrete production.
The unloading distance reaches 1,130 mm, and the digging depth (limit value) is 80 mm.
Compared to the previously released versions of the front loader, the LW500FN has simplified access to the engine compartment (it is through wide side doors). In addition, a filler neck for the gearbox lubrication system and removable protective covers for the brake calipers have appeared. And to measure the pressure in the hydraulic lines, there are taps with plugs led under the cabin.
