TOP 5 most popular models of Chinese SDLG front loaders

The SDLG loader is an efficient, productive, easy-to-use and versatile construction equipment. The production of vehicles is carried out according to the technology of the Volvo plant. The distinctive features of this loader from machines with similar characteristics from Japan and Europe are its low price and high functionality.

Purpose

All models of the SDLG loader are well suited for work on construction sites. The bucket is designed for transporting bulk materials for construction (wood shavings, mountain stones, quartz sand, wood chips, crushed stone). This special equipment is also suitable for working in confined spaces: in warehouses, factory premises, ports, railway sections. SDLG models can be found in rural areas and among utility companies.

In winter, transport is used to clear roads of snow, and in summer - for loading feed and plants. Builders use it all year round.

SDLG 936

The SDLG LG936L front loader is compact and highly functional. It is used where large transport is not possible. The articulated design provides increased maneuverability; the equipment lifts loads of up to 3 tons.

Technical characteristics of SDLG 936:

1. Weight - 10.7 tons.
2. The factory bucket has a volume of 1.8 m³, reach length - 105 cm, width - 251 cm. It is capable of rising to a height of 2.95 m and unloading; it rises in 5.3 seconds.
3. 2 forward gears, 1 reverse.
4. Ability to reach speeds of up to 38 km/h.
5. Motor power 92 kW.
6. The tank holds 140 liters of fuel.
7. Breakout force - 10.5 tons.

Model SDLG 936L is single-bucket. The loader bucket allows for cargo delivery, loading and unloading work, and grabbing flat objects. It is possible to work with large and small-piece, bulk and long cargo.

The car differs from other models of this brand in its more modern appearance.

The technique has the following advantages:

1. High working productivity. Cycle 1 includes picking up the load, lifting the boom mechanism, and transporting the item to the unloading site. Everything takes 10 seconds. Loading and unloading requires 2-3 cycles.
2. Comfortable, ergonomic operator's cabin. A seat has been developed on which a person can work for a long time without getting tired.
3. Hydraulics for precise, convenient and efficient control of additional working elements.
4. Simple maintenance, quick replacement of parts and working parts makes the equipment universal, while reducing downtime in the event of malfunctions.

The engine installed by the manufacturer on special equipment can be:

1. Deutz (made in Germany). Diesel engine 125 hp or 92 kW. Volume 6.2 l. Features: direct delivery of flammable solution and coolant, highly efficient installation with good power, capable of operating in difficult weather conditions. Fuel consumption - 220 g/kW for 1 hour of operation.
2. Cummins (made in USA). Characteristics: power 87 kW (118 hp), fuel consumption - 202 g/kW for 1 hour of operation, engine - 5.9 liters.
3. Yuchai (made in China). This engine is used to equip vehicles that are not subject to export. It is inferior in power, quality and performance characteristics. The price of vehicles with a Yuchai engine is lower, but the technical characteristics and reliability of the vehicle also differ for the worse.

Air purification is carried out by filters that prolong the operation of the mechanism elements. They are located in the air intake.

Chassis:

1. 2 frame sections connected by a hinge. This allows for smaller turns in a limited area.
2. Wheel formula 4x4. Maximum loads do not affect the degree of stability.
3. The innovative type transmission ensures smooth operation. Both bridges accept the same load, and this increases the power and reliability reserves.
4. Tubeless wheels (pressure 4.5 bar).
5. The braking system consists of dry disc brakes, a parking brake designed for 4 wheels, and a pneumatic drive with a single circuit.

The economical 1-hose hydraulic system has 1 circuit with hydraulic pump. This makes management as easy as possible. Hydraulic system pressure 16 MPa.

Distinctive characteristics of the operator's cabin:

• high degree of convenience and comfortable arrangement of levers;
• full viewing angle;
• use of soundproofing material for internal lining;
• air conditioning system;
• joystick control;
• shock-absorbing pads in the chair;
• presence of a car radio.

When developing the cabin, factors such as operator comfort during the work process and simple and precise control of the working parts were taken into account.

Operation and maintenance of the loader is as simple as possible due to the modular arrangement of the main components and mechanisms. Areas susceptible to contamination and in need of care are open to access. Refueling blocks are also designed with convenient blocks. Inspection and maintenance consists of lubricating the main components. Otherwise, the parts will wear out and the service life will be reduced. Service intervals are determined taking into account the map.

Articulation of the front and rear frames using hinges. This ensures rational distribution of loads between the main elements of the machine. Good stability, maneuverability and wear resistance.

Design and operating features

SDLG LG933L belongs to the middle class front loaders. The model is built according to the classical scheme, which the manufacturer adheres to in almost all of its products. The machine is based on a durable frame with an articulated joint, which adds maneuverability to the technique. Individual frame elements are made from a specialized box profile that increases overall strength. The manufacturing and assembly technology is patented. The seams of the components are made using robotic welding, which guarantees high precision.

SDLG LG933L bridges are characterized by increased strength and are ready to withstand extreme loads for a long time. The manufacturing technology is unique and developed by Shandong Lingong. Individual elements have additional reinforcement, which has a positive effect on the reliability of the entire structure.

The loader is equipped with a modern BS428 planetary transmission with the function of separating low and high operating ranges and the ability to switch under load. The manufacturer of the gearbox is the Hangchi company (China), the developer is Japanese specialists. The gearbox has 4 forward and 2 reverse speeds. Downshifts are manually switched using a lever mounted to the left of the operator. The integrated interaction of the gearbox and engine ensures high performance of the loader. The use of a single-turbine transformer and an intermediate shaft increases the maximum load capacity of the equipment.

The braking system is represented by dry disc brakes equipped with a hydropneumatic drive that acts on all wheels. The load on the wheels is distributed evenly, which ensures effective braking. As a parking system, disc brakes are used, supplemented by an internal holder.

The SDLG LG933L hydraulic system is a patented design of Shandong Lingong. The hydraulic pump has increased power and provides the required reserve, helping to increase the operating time of hydraulic system components without breakdowns. The working pressure in the hydraulic system is 16 MPa. Hydraulic hoses and seals for the loader are purchased from other companies. A special feature of the SDLG LG933L is the multifunctional design of fasteners for working devices, which allows the installation of a variety of equipment:

• jaw buckets;
• pallet forks;
• arrows;
• buckets of various types and volumes (rock, mixers, coal, enlarged and others);
• timber harvesting.

The SDLG LG933L model is equipped with a spacious operator cabin with an increased level of safety. Among its distinctive features are improved sound insulation, due to which noise practically does not penetrate into the cabin, and a significant viewing angle of the work area. Vibration from the motor is not transmitted to the body of the operator's cab and is not felt by the operator. Thanks to these qualities, optimal working conditions are created for the driver. The comfortable chair has several adjustments, allowing you to adjust it to the weight and height of the operator. The control of the equipment (working parts and direction of movement) is carried out using levers. Functionally, the loader is equipped with a heating system and air conditioning.

The SDLG LG933L model is characterized by ease of maintenance. Access to key components, functional elements and filling containers is facilitated due to the modernized design.
