LIUGONG 888III WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Liugong 888III Wheel Loader is a heavy-duty machine designed for efficient material handling with a rated bucket capacity of 7 cubic yards (5 cubic meters) and a maximum dump clearance at full raise of approximately 10.58 to 11 feet (3 meters). Powered by a Cummins QSM11 six-cylinder, turbocharged, water-cooled diesel engine delivering 335 to 350 hp (250 to 261 kW), it provides robust performance for demanding construction and mining applications. The 888III incorporates a ZF fixed shaft automatic power shift transmission offering four forward speeds up to 22.4 mph and three reverse speeds from 4 to 15 mph, optimizing productivity and control. Its dual pump hydraulic system maximizes the use of engine power to deliver responsive and smooth loader arm operations, equipped with a double cylinder Z-bar linkage for high breakout forces and efficient digging. The operational weight is approximately 66,138 lbs (30,000 kg), contributing to stability and balance during heavy lifting. Additional features include a pressurized, climate-controlled cabin mounted on rubber shock absorbers for operator comfort, adjustable boom height kick-out, and bucket return-to-dig functions for precision work. The loader also employs fully hydraulic wet-disc brakes with axle coolers for reliable stopping power under heavy loads, making the Liugong 888III a durable, high-performance wheel loader suitable for diverse earthmoving tasks.
