ConExpo-Con/Agg '03.2017

January 2, 2017

SDLG will debut a new compact wheel loader – the SDLG L918F – at CONEXPO 2017 in Las Vegas, NV.

The L918F will be SDLG’s fifth wheel loader offering in North America and it will feature a 1.0 yd3 bucket capacity mounted to a skid steer style coupler, placing it in the compact loader category but with the versatility of skid steer style attachments. In addition, the unit will have an optional 1.3 yd3 bucket with wheel loader ISO coupler. The machine will compete with large skid steer loaders, providing the same bucket capacity but with increased maneuverability and operator comfort. Additionally, the compact loader’s steering mechanism will cause less damage to job site grounds when compared with a skid steer loader.

The L918F excels in a variety of applications, including landscaping, work in stone and mulch yards, snow removal, and waste and recycling. Like other SDLG loaders, it’s ideal for applications that are seasonal or don’t require lots of operating hours.

The L918F features:

- A Deutz Tier 4 Final engine (no DPF filter);

- Dry disc brakes;

- Two-speed countershaft transmission;

- A 1.0 yd³ SSL bucket capacity w/ in-cab coupler pin control. Optional 1.3 yd3 ISO/GP bucket capacity will also be offered;

- An operating weight of 14,990 lbs.;

- A rated load limit of 2,200 lbs.;

- A maximum breakout force of 112,240 lbs.-ft. with a standard boom;

- A compact body that is only 9 ft. 7 in. tall and 6 ft. 8 in. wide.
