Visitors to Bauma China 2016 today saw SDLG unveil the biggest motor grader the company has ever made – the G9260. “Designed around the company’s core principles of reliable performance, robust design and better value for customers”, the G9260 was on display alongside a range of SDLG’s best-selling machines.
Bauma China is the leading construction trade fair in Asia, so the company saw it as the ideal place for SDLG to launch the new G9260. Alongside its new machine, leading Chinese construction equipment manufacturer, SDLG also presented a range of its best-selling excavators, wheel loaders, motor graders, road rollers and backhoe loaders.
Under the theme ‘Care Without Boundaries’, SDLG hosted an international product launch and press conference at the show today on November 22. Wang Zhizhong, Board Chairman of SDLG, reinforced the company’s commitment to providing better value and support to customers, while also highlighting SDLG’s development as a truly international company.
The new G9260 motor grader has been built to handle a variety of tasks relevant to mining works such as grading, ditching, bulldozing and slope scraping. SDLG states: “It is ideally suited to mining and large-scale infrastructure projects. The new model will be sold in China in early 2018.”
Powered by a Tier 3 SD13 engine, the G9260 features optimised weight distribution, an impressive 136 kN tractive force and is equipped with a hydraulically-powered wet brake system. “The electronically controlled engine matches perfectly with the power shift transmission control valve and the mechanical transmission system, achieving optimum performance and fuel efficiency. The double fuel tanks in the G9260, the first of their kind in China, ensure high driving force and reliability.”
The G9260’s cab features the latest generation of operator safety and comfort, including a new falling-object and roll-over protection structure (FOPS/ROPS). The electric-hydraulic locking mechanism also ensures safe and convenient operation.
Yu Mengsheng, CEO of Lingong, has high expectations for SDLG at the country’s largest trade expo for the construction and building-materials machine industry. “SDLG has established itself as one of China’s most reliable machinery brands in the global market,” he says. “Responding to customer demand, launching the G9260 marks another milestone for SDLG, as the company strives to produce the best motor graders in the nation. The new model joins our broad range of road building equipment and we are excited to unveil it to our customers and dealers. To us, Bauma China is the gateway to the international market and we look forward to showcasing some of our newest capabilities to potential future customers.”
