LiuGong, a world-leading company in manufacturing a full range of construction machines, has announced the launch of a new wheel loader at its 60th-annicersary celebration. The 886H is the first ever intelligent remote controlled shovel wheel loader, marking a milestone in both LiuGong’s development history and in the industry.

The Cummins QSM11 engine provides dependable power to the LiuGong 886H. Two working modes of Standard and Economic can be switched easily according to working conditions for additional energy savings. The newly optimized work hydraulic system and power combination increase bucket breakout force and loading capacity. Careful distribution of stress loads improves job efficiency. New constant flow hydraulic system, highly efficient, energy saving and quick responding, it takes any compound actions with ease. Integrated FNR pilot control joystick is easy to operate.

The intelligent throttle control system can automatically adjust the fuel input to optimize the power output and save energy; the intelligent active protection can automatically identify the control status and stop the machine at emergency; the intelligent shoveling system makes the operation easy and reliable. LiuGong 886H has a 309° panoramic cab and has the largest interior space in the Chinese wheel loader ranges. All key buttons are within reach and the control handle can move with the operator’s seat. At the same time, the fully sealed and micro pressurized cab can effectively reduce dust and noise, creating a safe and comfortable environment for the operator.

The front-flip hood can be opened and closed by hydraulic lifting system, allowing for additional maintenance space; a 360° surround platform design for easy access to all key components. Last but not least, LiuGong’s 886H is a combination of intelligent remote control and intelligent technology. The 886H is equipped with an intelligent shoveling system. The intelligent loading system senses material penetration; has one bottom loading and dumping; along with bucket auto leveling and controllable placement of the bucket. Intelligent shoveling enables the machine to do shovel independently as long as the driver controls the wheel loader close to the stack. And the operator only needs to lower its arm to carry out the second shoveling operation. It also applies the intelligent protection technology to realize automatic identification system and auto emergency stop.

As a result, the machine can not only be used in its normal applications, but also can be widely used in dangerous environment such as rescue and disaster relief. And the remote-control technology made it a perfect match for the tasks in odorous environments or radiation environments. All the operations can be observed from the videos that are sent back by the machine’s cameras and the effective control distance is 2000 meters. The machine is to launch in domestic market in January, 2019.
