April 2014 | Construction Equipment Distribution | www.cedmag.com | 47 New & Improved LiuGong Introduces Next- Generation Skid Steer Loader LiuGong recently introduced the completely redesigned 375B skid steer, equipped with a Tier IV final engine. A new curved-shaped cab provides a wider, less obstructed view of the worksite and a solid "corner to corner" view of the bucket, blade, fork or other attachment being used. Intelligent use of complex shapes adds another important benefit – reduced noise levels inside the cab. The narrow stance and panoramic view combine for supe- rior handling and control in tight quarters between buildings and walls and inside trailers. The machine lifts to a dump clearance height of 7 feet, 3 inches and with a lift speed of 4.1 seconds, dump at 2.4 seconds and float down of 2.2 seconds, the machine is quick all around. The 375B rated operating load is 1,907 pounds, in its standard configuration with a 0.52 cubic yard bucket, and it travels safely around the jobsite at 6.6 mph. The machine features double-lever pilot control for sure, simple, effortless operation. The hydrostatic transmission system provides infinite speed control so operators can inch through critical areas with no extra space, but still travel quickly over large areas. Other features include spring applied, hydraulic release brakes, hydraulic self-leveling and quick- coupling system. The Perkins 404F-22T engine has a solid reputation for power and durability and low fuel consumption and emissions. The engine is rated at 53.6 hp net power and meets North America Tier IV final emission standards.

The SK55SRx is a mini-excavator that delivers full size performance and short radius agility from its compact footprint. This new machine comes in both cab and canopy models. The 11,050-pound SK55 is engineered to supply maximum digging power while maintaining a short tail swing. Its 37.4 hp, water-cooled Yanmar diesel engine is not only powerful, but also fuel efficient, delivering operational cost savings through its multiple modes, including an "Energy Conservation Mode", which can easily be engaged with the push of a button when the work at hand allows the operator to run the equipment at lower power and performance levels, providing greater job efficiencies. A one-touch deceleration button makes it easy to switch to an idling state, further reducing fuel consumption while the machine is at rest. The SK55's engine meets Tier IV final requirements, while its hydraulic system minimizes energy loss for outstanding hydraulic performance. In addition to fuel economy and power, the SK55 has many practical performance features including an arm force of 5,530 pounds and a two-pin bucket force of up to 11,128 pounds for robust digging. The machine's dig depth of 12 foot, 10 inches, 20 foot, 6-inch reach at ground level and a swing speed of 8.5 rpm ensure productivity goals are always within reach.
