SDLG Loader Review

SDLG front wheel loaders are designed to perform work related to loading bulk cargo. At the same time, it successfully copes with digging, clearing and leveling functions. This technique can partially replace an excavator.

The SDLG front loader is designed for all-season operation and is aimed at European consumers. In winter, in addition to loading work, it serves as snow removal equipment. In summer it is actively used for heavy work with construction waste of different fractions, sand, crushed stone and different types of soil.

SDLG front loaders belong to the group of articulated wheel-based single-bucket loaders. Several generations of front loaders are constantly updated, expanding the model range. The manufacturer has taken care of the wide operational capabilities of its equipment and produces forklifts of a wide variety of configurations and carrying capacity.

In the simplest configuration, SDLG loaders have levers for control and are equipped with a conventional stove for heating and ventilation. Full equipment includes air conditioning, joystick control and even the installation of a standard radio. For operation in Russian regions, the installation of a German Eberspeaher engine pre-heater is provided. Taking care of the multifunctional qualities of front loaders, the manufacturer has provided attachments for various tasks, which can be easily changed using a quick-change device.

Additional equipment for SDLG loaders:

• buckets for heavy, light and rocky soils;
• side bucket;
• volumetric bucket for light loads;
• jaw bucket 4 in 1;
• pallet forks;
• turbo - , forest - , hay grab;
• heavy and light rotary and straight blades.

SDLG loaders, like most Chinese equipment, are characterized by low quality in small details. This is most obvious when inspecting the cabin - loose seals, poor-quality painting, weak wiring. Otherwise, SDLG loaders are characterized by good performance, without emergency stops during operation. In addition, prices for SDLG loaders are several times lower than their European or American counterparts, which makes equipment from this brand affordable for small farms.

Characteristics of SDLG loaders

The SDLG range of loaders is represented by equipment designed to perform multi-level tasks of varying complexity. This is manifested in the presence of small-sized equipment with low carrying capacity, and models of the medium and heavy class. The load capacity of front loaders, depending on the model, ranges from 1.8 to 8 tons.

SDLG loaders are equipped with engines of varying power, starting from 58 hp. and ending with 300 hp. The most common are engines of our own production or other Chinese manufacturers. Engines from Volvo and their partners are available for the European market.

Transmissions are available both manual and automatic, with a different number of speed modes. A transmission with mandatory reverse gear makes it easy to control equipment and perform complex maneuvering patterns.

SDLG loaders have a number of advantageous characteristics:

• high capacity lifting bucket;
• high speed of lifting a loaded bucket;
• equipped with an automatic leveling function;

SDLG loader - operating instructions

The SDLG forklift operating manual includes basic technical data about the models and their features. For some models, instructions are included not only for operation, but also for repair. In the manual you can familiarize yourself with possible malfunctions of the working equipment, gearbox, electrical, brake and steering systems, as well as methods for initially eliminating these problems.

The manual clearly describes the operating principles of the main devices and how to operate them. The rules for carrying out maintenance are also indicated, and a scheduled maintenance card is attached with recommendations for the brands of fuel and lubricants to be replaced.

Changing the oil in an SDLG loader

Turbochargers of diesel engines installed on SDLG loaders are particularly sensitive to oil cleanliness. An oil change occurs during each service maintenance, i.e. every 250 operating hours. Transmission and hydraulic oil must be changed every 500 operating hours. SDLG loaders are unpretentious to oils from one manufacturer or another; the main condition is that they meet their intended purpose and are replaced in a timely manner.

It is recommended to use engine oil according to operating conditions and engine type. The manufacturer recommends using synthetic and semi-synthetic oils. For example, a good option for diesel engines is GProfi 10w-40.

Oil for the hydraulic system of SDLG loaders is suitable for the MGE brand or the usual Russian hydraulic spindle.

Transmission oil No. 6 and No. 8 is poured into the SDLG box according to Chinese technical classifications of oils. It is possible to use API CF-4/SG SAE15W/40 summer oil. It is strictly forbidden to pour motor oil or any other purpose oil into the automatic transmission of a loader.
