세계 첫 수직 리프팅 휠 로더 World’s First Vertical Lift Wheel Loader : VIDEO

World’s First Vertical Lift Wheel Loader

 

  올해는 라스베가스에서 열린  CONEXPO-CON/AGG 건설기계 전시회에서는 3D 프린터로 

제작된 굴삭기 만이 이슈가 아니었다.

중국의 건설장비 회사 '류궁'은 세계 최초 수직으로 리프팅하는 휠로더를 공개했다.

이 수직리프팅 시스템은 상대적으로 작은 장비에 더 큰 용량(30%+)의 또 길고 높은 버킷을 달 수 

있게 되어 있다.

The world’s first 3D printed excavator was not the only piece of construction equipment to hold that title at this year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas.  LiuGong, an international construction equipment manufacturer founded in China, also unveiled the world’s first vertical lift wheel loader at the event.

LiuGong has been developing the vertical lift technology since 2010 and, this year, the new product will finally be ready for production.  Simply put, the vertical lift system allows a smaller machine to have a larger bucket, and longer and higher reach compared to traditional loaders, according to LiuGong.  An additional elbow in the arm of the loader allows for these additional benefits.

“The key innovations of the product are the vertical lift loader arms on an articulating frame

and the mechanical self-leveling Z-bar bucket linkage on a vertical lift loader – both industry

Firsts,” the company stated in a press release. 

Edward Wagner, Director of Testing/Advanced Tech for LiuGong explained to Awesome Earthmovers that the technology allows a 30% larger bucket, 2 feet higher of lift, and an additional 1 foot of lift as compared to the same sized machine with a traditional radial arm. 

“Fuel costs are greatly reduced since the reduced operating weight of the vertical lift machine allows more tons material to be moved per horsepower than with a conventional radial lift machine. This allows customers to move more tons per hour for lower initial investment, and lower owning and operating costs than would be required with conventional technology,” the company said.

According to Equipment World, the new VL80A loader has a full turn tipping load of 39,000 pounds and an operating weight of 44,000.
