New LiuGong 995F excavator
LiuGong’s new, 95-tonne 995F excavator is the first model in its large F-Series range of diggers, targeting heavy-weight jobs in mining, quarrying and demolition. Powered by an 18.1-litre Perkins engine producing 447kW of power, LiuGong says its 995F delivers class-leading tear out forces. To further improve cycle times, precision and efficiency, the 995F is equipped with three operating modes (Eco, Standard and Power), whilst 10 engine speeds allow the operator to balance power and efficiency to meet the application’s requirements.
The 995F also features an Advanced Variable Electro-Hydraulic System, which adjusts the flow distribution according to the operating conditions, plus boom float assistance, and two operating modes for loading and breaking. Its heavy duty, variable gauge undercarriage features high strength forged sprockets and large diameter idlers with thickened wearing layers. Deep profile double grouser track plates provide longevity and higher traction when travelling. The 995F also has a specially tailored Demolition Package version – 995FDM – complete with bucket cylinder guard, swing open Level II FOPS guard, plus rotation pipework and an attachment drain line. The large cab features an 8-inch LCD touchscreen display with jog dial, plus lots of storage space and a fully adjustable, heated seat.
Justin Ffrench of J. Ffrench Ltd in Bedfordshire recently took delivery of a 995FDM – read our full report on this machine in the June 2021 issue (on sale May 7th).
