LIUGONG 936E CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The LiuGong 936E is a mid-sized crawler excavator engineered for demanding construction and excavation applications. Powered by a Cummins engine delivering 280 net horsepower (209 kW), this machine combines robust performance with fuel-efficient operation through advanced cooled-EGR technology and proven negative flow hydraulics. With an operating weight of approximately 80,696 lbs (36,600 kg), the 936E maintains excellent stability and mobility on varied terrain. The excavator features a maximum digging depth of 24.1 feet and extends to a maximum reach of 35.9 feet along ground level, making it suitable for deep foundation work and large-scale earthmoving tasks. The standard boom measures 6,400 mm with a 3,200 mm arm configuration, complemented by bucket options ranging from 1.6 to 1.9 cubic meters in capacity. The machine delivers impressive digging forces, with bucket breakout force reaching 232 kilonewtons under normal operation and 252 kilonewtons with power boost activation. Mobility is enhanced through a two-speed travel system with automatic transmission, achieving maximum speeds of 5.5 km/h on high and 3.4 km/h on low. The 936E incorporates six selectable working modes—Power, Economy, Fine, Lifting, Breaker, and Attachment modes—optimizing performance and fuel consumption for specific operational conditions. The pressurized cab with ROPS protection ensures operator safety and comfort during extended work shifts. Track width of 600 mm provides excellent ground contact and reduced ground pressure, while the swing system delivers 10 rpm maximum swing speed with integrated hydraulic braking. This excavator represents an ideal balance of power, precision, and efficiency for professional construction contractors.
