Product Description
SDLG 938L - 3 Ton Wheel Loader with 1.8m³ Bucket (Tier 2 / Tier 3 Diesel Engine)
Product Overview
The SDLG 938L is a 3‑ton class wheel loader manufactured by SDLG (Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.), a well‑known Chinese brand under the Group but operating independently in many markets. This loader combines a proven Chinese diesel engine (Weichai or Yuchai) with a 1.8m³ standard bucket, offering excellent performance for construction, sand/gravel yards, mining support, and agricultural material handling.
Available with Tier 2 or Tier 3 emission compliant engines, the SDLG 938L is built for reliability, low operating costs, and easy maintenance. It features a rugged articulated frame, hydrostatic transmission, and a comfortable cab with optional air conditioning. Available in left‑hand drive (LHD) as standard; right‑hand drive (RHD) on request.
Made in China - Affordable, durable, and supported by a global SDLG dealer network.

Key Features & Advantages
- Reliable Weichai / Yuchai Engine - The SDLG 938L is powered by a Weichai WP6 or Yuchai YC6J engine, both well‑established Chinese brands with global parts availability. Tier 2 and Tier 3 options allow you to choose based on local emission regulations. No DPF or SCR systems on Tier 2 versions - simpler and cheaper to maintain.
- Efficient Hydraulic System - Dual‑pump confluence technology provides fast response, strong breakout force, and smooth lifting. The system is designed for energy savings, reducing fuel consumption by up to 10% compared to older models.
- Rugged Structure - Reinforced front and rear frames with cross‑welded box sections handle heavy loads and tough terrain. The Z‑bar linkage provides high digging force and excellent bucket fill factor.
- Operator Comfort - The spacious cab features wide glass areas for all‑round visibility, an adjustable suspension seat, ergonomic joystick, and optional air conditioning. The dash displays real‑time engine parameters and working hours.
- Easy Maintenance - Wide‑opening engine hood, grouped filters, and central lubrication points reduce service time. All major components (engine, transmission, axles) are SDLG‑standard, easily available through SDLG's global network.
Applications
- Construction - Loading sand, gravel, soil, concrete aggregate
- Sand / Gravel Yard - Truck loading, stockpile management
- Mining (light) - Ore and overburden handling with rock bucket
- Agriculture - Feed, fertilizer, silage handling
- Port & Logistics - Bulk material loading, warehouse operations
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What engine does the SDLG 938L use?
A: The SDLG 938L uses Weichai or Yuchai diesel engines, both top‑tier Chinese brands. If you require a specific engine, please ask.
Q2: Is the 938L available with Tier 3 or only Tier 2?
A: Both Tier 2 (China II) and Tier 3 (China III) are available. Tier 2 is suitable for countries with less strict emission rules (e.g., many African and Southeast Asian nations). Tier 3 is cleaner but still avoids complex aftertreatment systems. Tier 4 / Stage V is not offered on this model.
Q3: What is the real bucket capacity?
A: Standard is 1.8 m³ for general materials (density ~1.6 t/m³). For lighter materials (coal, grain), a 2.0-2.2 m³ bucket is available. For rock, a 1.5 m³ reinforced rock bucket is recommended.
Q4: What is the price range for a new SDLG 938L?
A: FOB China main port (Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin): approximately USD 28,000 - 35,000, depending on engine choice (Weichai vs Yuchai), bucket type, tires, and optional A/C. Used / refurbished units start from USD 18,000 - 25,000. Contact us for a precise quotation.
Q5: Can I get a right‑hand drive (RHD) version?
A: Standard production is left‑hand drive (LHD). RHD is available on request with an extended lead time of 4‑6 weeks. Please confirm when ordering.
Q6: What is the fuel consumption?
A: Under normal loading conditions (sand/gravel), fuel consumption is 12 -15 L/hour. The Weichai engine's low‑speed torque curve helps save fuel during heavy digging.
Q7: Do you provide spare parts?
A: Yes. We stock genuine SDLG, Weichai, and Yuchai parts. For bulk orders (3+ units), we include a starter parts kit (filters, belts, seals, brake pads, hoses). SDLG has a global parts distribution network as well.
Q8: How is the loader shipped?
A: Shipped in a 40ft flat rack or open‑top container, partially disassembled (bucket removed, cab lowered if needed). Transit: 25‑45 days to most African, Asian, Middle Eastern, and South American ports.
Q9: What documents do you provide for customs?
A: Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, Certificate of Origin ("Made in China"), export declaration, engine/chassis numbers, and Tier 2/Tier 3 compliance statement (if required).
Q10: What warranty do you offer?
A: 12 months or 2,000 operating hours on engine, transmission, hydraulic system, and axles. Extended warranty available at extra cost.
Q11: Can I inspect before buying?
A: Yes. We provide factory photos, pre‑shipment inspection videos, and live video walkaround. You are also welcome to visit our facility in Shandong Province.
Q12: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: 1 unit is accepted. Volume discounts for 3, 5, 10+ units.
Q13: How long from order to delivery?
A: Stock unit: 7‑10 days for loading. Custom configuration: 20‑30 days. Sea freight: 25‑45 days.
Q14: What attachments are available?
A: Rock bucket, 4‑in‑1 bucket, pallet forks, log grapple, snow blade, quick coupler, and more. Please specify your application.
Q15: Is the SDLG 938L suitable for heavy rock mining?
A: For heavy rock, we recommend the SDLG 956L or 968L (5‑6 ton class). The 938L is best for general construction, sand/gravel, and light mining. With a rock bucket and reinforced guarding, it can handle occasional rock work.
