SDLG launches F-series wheel loaders in Southeast Asia
SDLG has launched three new F-series wheel loaders in Southeast Asia: the L956F, L958F, and the L968F. Immediately available through SDLG dealers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and the Philippines, these wheel loaders are suitable for the moving of stockpiled materials in environments such as quarries, batching plants and coal mines, according to the company.

Part of the F-series range, these loaders replace the older L-series and features design updates to the frame, chassis, transmission, cabin, engine hood and counterweight.

?Customers demand machines that deliver ever-greater productivity while retaining the same reliability. With their large breakout force and tipping load, energy-saving features and durability, we are confident this new range of affordable wheel loaders will provide customers with an excellent return on investment,? said Anthony Neo, Director of Sales Support, SDLG.

The F-series wheel loaders offer greater comfort for the operator, greater ease of maintenance and enhanced durability than previous generation models. They are powered by six-cylinder Weichai engines that meet the emission standards of the various markets.

The 5 t-rated L956F ? with dimensions of 8,180 mm by 3,024 mm by 3,423 mm ? is the smallest of the three wheel loaders and is highly suitable for general use. Its bucket, designed for wear-resistance, has a capacity of 3.0 cu m. Both the 5 t-rated L958F and the 6 t-rated L968F are designed for heavy-duty applications. The machines? larger wheel bases offer them greater stability when manoeuvring in harsher terrain. The L958F has a wheel base of 3,300 mm while the L968F?s is 3,400 mm.

The L968F is the heavyweight of the series and has a range-leading bucket capacity of 3.5 cu m. While the biggest in size, the machine also excels in operability; it has a steering angle of 38? and a minimum turning radius of 6,062 mm.
