NEW 950 DEMOLITION EXCAVATOR

New for heavy demolition applications is LiuGong’s new 950 demolition excavator. This machine is the result of extensive customer consultation and with close collaboration with partners Kocurek UK. It is a perfect example of LiuGong’s ability to adapt and develop its machines to perfectly match the customer’s application. Positive customer feedback focuses on the machine’s improved stability and stronger 30m long reach boom which allows the 950 to punch well above its weight. The design of the attachment group also allows changing of standard equipment to high reach equipment and vice-versa in 30 minutes or less. This design of modular joint is now over 20 years in production and is well proven having been incorporated into over 700 units working in the field on 20 ton to 150-ton base machines. Greater reach and the ability to handle heavy weight attachments ensures that the 950 gets the job done faster. Operator comfort and safety are top priority in this demolition application excavator. The cab is modified by replacing the front window screen with 5-layer laminated glass and also to the same modification, including extending, to the roof glass. The front and roof glass are then butt joined to the front screen to give unsurpassed upward vision for the operator when working his attachments. Thanks to increased visibility with the tilted cabin, a ROPS/FOPS certified cab and standard rearview camera, the operator can focus on the job with confidence.
