At dawn, a large limestone mine in Guangxi was already bustling with activity. In the huge mine pit, several "steel giants" are waving their powerful arms, loading hard rocks into transport vehicles. Wang Hai, the equipment manager, stood on the command console, his eyes fixed on a brand-new yellow excavator - it was the Liugong 956FMAX+ he had introduced a month ago.
"Previously, the most troublesome issues were high temperatures, high intensity and the equipment's inability to withstand them." " Manager Wang recalled the past, "The working conditions in the mine were harsh. Heavy loading and rock crushing were common occurrences. The equipment wore out a lot, fuel consumption was high, and efficiency couldn't be improved. This directly affected our mining progress and costs." Choosing equipment is like choosing "comrades-in-arms". They must be capable of carrying, competent and easy to serve."
First Encounter: Born for heavy mining loads
Manager Wang's choice was no accident. We have been investigating for a long time. There are quite a few 55-ton class devices, but as soon as the 956FMAX+ appeared, it felt like it was "the right medicine for the right problem".
Pointing at the 956FMAX+ that was in operation, he said, "Look at its resolute lines. They look solid and reliable." What impressed us most was its positioning - "specifically developed for heavy-duty working conditions in mines". It is equipped with a standard 3.2-cubic-meter heavy-duty loading bucket or a dedicated 200-meter breaker. The chassis and working device have been specially reinforced, clearly designed for tackling tough challenges."
Experience: High efficiency, low consumption, and powerful performance
What truly convinced Manager Wang was the actual performance of the 956FMAX+. "This' heart 'is really strong!" He was referring to the Cummins X12 Euro IV engine custom-made by Liugong. With a displacement of 11.8 liters and a power of 321 kilowatts, it has a much larger power reserve than the equipment we used before. In particular, the torque has increased by 21%. When loading heavily, the power is continuous and there is rarely a "stalled vehicle", so the efficiency naturally goes up.
What surprised Manager Wang even more was the balance between efficiency and fuel consumption. Everyone says it has strong power but high fuel consumption, but this machine is different. It adopts Kawasaki's 240cc large-displacement fully electronically controlled hydraulic system, combined with Liugong's new generation IPC2.0 intelligent electronically controlled brain, which can match power and hydraulic system particularly precisely. The result is that the efficiency has increased by 14% compared to our previous equipment, while the fuel consumption remains basically the same! In mining operations, all the savings are real money."
He particularly mentioned the "intelligent stepless speed change temperature control system" of the 956FMAX+ : "In the past, when hammening in summer, I was most afraid of the high-temperature alarm and shutdown, which would delay production." The radiator area of this machine has been increased by 5%, and the fan can also intelligently reverse to clean the dust. Now, even during continuous high-intensity crushing operations, the water and oil temperatures are well controlled, and the "high-temperature disease" has basically disappeared. It warms up quickly in winter, saving both fuel and worry."
Trust: Reliable and durable, fearless of challenges
The reliability of equipment is the ultimate test of the mining environment. The "steel frame" of the 956FMAX+ makes Manager Wang feel extremely at ease. The structural components have been comprehensively upgraded, and the design life is right there. The key force-bearing points of the boom and the bucket arm are made of integral cast steel parts, with fewer welds and high strength. The front support of the bucket rod is equipped with a 460mm wide opening and a 110mm large pin shaft, which looks very solid. The chassis has also been particularly reinforced, lengthened and thickened. The tracks are fully protected mine type, which can stand steadily and withstand the test of time.
Manager Wang patted the sturdy machine body and said, "In the mine, if the equipment breaks down for a day, the loss is huge." Since the arrival of the 956FMAX+, unplanned downtime has significantly decreased, and the attendance rate is outstanding.
Comfort: Smart cockpit, a blessing for miners
Operating an excavator is a hard job, especially in a mine pit filled with dust. The cab of the 956FMAX+ has become a highly sought-after experience for operators.
The F series high-sealed cab lives up to its reputation. Dust can't get in. The green glass provides sun protection and heat insulation. The interior space is spacious, the air conditioning is powerful, and the noise is low. Manager Wang introduced, "It is equipped with air-suspended seats as standard. Sitting on them feels like driving a high-end car, and you won't feel tired even after sitting for a long time." The rear camera is standard, making reversing much safer. The optional features such as wireless charging and Bluetooth voice for mobile phones are particularly favored by young mobile phone users. "Details such as sunshades and cab footrests have all been taken into consideration by Liugong. It's truly considerate." "
Value: Not just a machine, but a partner
After a month of intense use, the 956FMAX+ has already proven its value. "It is not merely an excavator; it is more like a reliable partner for our mine breakthroughs." " Manager Wang concluded, "Strong power, high efficiency and low fuel consumption - these are the direct economic accounts." The solid structure, reliable durability and convenient maintenance (such as the simplified three-stage fuel filter and automatic oil pumping design) have reduced our maintenance costs and downtime risks. The intelligent and comfortable driving environment has enhanced the working state and satisfaction of the operators. All in all, its input-output ratio is very high.
Watching the 956FMAX+ steadily and powerfully complete one excavation and loading after another, Manager Wang's face showed a satisfied smile: "It is truly a 'pioneer' that understands and is born for mines." Choosing it means choosing a more efficient, reliable and worry-free future for the mine. For our mine's next equipment update plan, the Liugong 956FMAX+ remains the top choice!"
In the harsh battlefield of heavy-load mines, time is money and efficiency is life. The Liugong 956FMAX+, with its powerful Cummins Golden power, efficient Kawasaki fully electronically controlled hydraulic system, extremely reinforced mine structure, intelligent and comfortable humanized design, as well as its proven outstanding energy efficiency ratio (14% efficiency improvement while maintaining the same fuel consumption), is becoming a trusted "mountain-opening weapon" for more and more mine managers like Manager Wang.
It is not only a symbol of strong productivity, but also a solid partner that helps customers reduce costs, increase efficiency and achieve sustainable development. Select 956FMAX+, choose a new height for mining operations.
