Indonesian contractor PT Gajah Mada Sarana is currently using a SDLG LG936L to load aggregates used on road projects at its stockpile quarry in Muara Enim, South Sumatra.

?The biggest challenge for us at the stockpile quarry is to work in hot temperatures amidst the changing weather conditions,? said Rahardi Pratamo, Operational Director, PT Gajah Mada Sarana. ?Having the SDLG LG936L at our quarry has been very beneficial for us. Its air-conditioning and heating systems have greatly helped our operators to have a smooth and comfortable ride regardless of the weather.?

Onsite since February 2018, the SDLG LG936L wheel loader works an average of eight hours daily, loading about 500 cu m of aggregates destined for road construction onto dump trucks. Powered by a 92 kW Weichai Deutz engine, the 3 t-rated LG936L is highly-maneuverable. The 1.8 cu m bucket on the unit can be raised to a dumping height of 3.3 m, and the maximum breakout force is 96 kN. To date, the LG936L has worked 1,532 machine hours.

?What we also like about the SDLG LG936L is that there have been no problems at all and its low fuel consumptions have greatly helped our business to reduce costs. Most importantly, the aftermarket service and support we receive is great,? Pratamo said.
