XCMG LW500KN Low Hours Used Wheel Loader 5 Ton 2021 Model with Fuel-Efficient Weichai Engine
This XCMG LW500KN wheel loader is a 2021 production unit with only 2,300 verified working hours, making it one of the lowest-hour used loaders in its class currently available. Originally deployed in a municipal infrastructure project, the machine was operated under a strict preventive maintenance schedule with complete service records. The LW500KN series represents XCMG’s fifth-generation loader platform, engineered for superior fuel economy and operational reliability across quarrying, aggregate handling, earthmoving, and logistics yard applications.
Key Features- Exceptionally Low Working Hours: Only 2,300 hours recorded since factory delivery in 2021, representing approximately 600 hours per year of light-duty municipal operation. All major components retain substantial remaining service life with zero history of major repair or rebuild.
- Fuel-Efficient Weichai Power: Powered by the proven Weichai WD10G220E23 six-cylinder diesel engine delivering 162 kW (217 hp) at 2,200 rpm. This electronically controlled common-rail engine achieves fuel consumption of approximately 196 g/kWh, substantially lower than older mechanical injection engines in the same power class, translating to measurable daily operating cost savings.
- Powershift Transmission with KD Function: Equipped with a planetary powershift transmission offering four forward and three reverse speeds. The integrated kick-down (KD) button allows the operator to instantly downshift during hard digging for maximum breakout force, then automatically upshift for efficient load-and-carry cycles without manual intervention.
- Reinforced Structural Frame: The loader features a box-section welded main frame with reinforced hinge pin areas and heavy-duty articulation joints. This structural design distributes stress more evenly than earlier generation frames, reducing fatigue-related cracking risk during prolonged tough loading operations.
- Z-Bar Linkage with High Breakout Force: The optimized Z-bar bucket linkage geometry produces a breakout force of 170 kN and a maximum traction force of 155 kN. Combined with the 3.0 m³ standard bucket, this loader handles dense materials including compacted gravel, wet clay, and shot rock with consistent penetration and fill factors.
- Comfort-Oriented Operator Station: The ROPS/FOPS certified cab includes an adjustable air-suspension seat, tilt-steering column, climate control air conditioning, and a multi-function LCD instrument panel. Panoramic curved glass provides excellent all-around visibility of the bucket, tires, and surrounding work area, reducing operator fatigue during extended shifts.
- Service-Friendly Design: Daily maintenance points including engine oil dipstick, coolant level sight glass, hydraulic oil filter, and grease fittings are all accessible from ground level via wide-opening side doors. The rear hood tilts open hydraulically for full engine bay access, reducing service downtime.

The XCMG LW500KN is a versatile 5-ton wheel loader suited to a wide range of job site conditions. In aggregate and quarry operations, its 3.0 m³ bucket and strong breakout force handle crushed stone, sand, and gravel loading with high cycle efficiency. For construction and infrastructure projects, the loader excels at site preparation, backfilling, material stockpiling, and truck loading tasks. In logistics and port operations, its responsive powershift transmission and tight turning radius make it productive in confined yard environments for container stuffing, bulk cargo handling, and barge loading. The machine’s common-rail engine also meets Tier 2/Stage II emission standards, making it suitable for markets in Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America where these regulations apply.
Packaging & Quality AssuranceEach used loader undergoes a comprehensive 68-point pre-delivery inspection covering engine compression, hydraulic pressure testing, transmission shift quality, brake performance, structural weld integrity, and electrical system function before shipment. A detailed inspection report with photos is provided to the buyer prior to dispatch. The loader is shipped in standard export packaging with protective wrapping for the cab, boom cylinders, and exhaust system. RO-RO (roll-on/roll-off) vessel shipping is the preferred method for self-propelled units; containerized flat-rack shipping is also available for remote destinations. We offer a 30-day operational warranty on engine and transmission, with remote technical support and spare parts supply available through our global dealer network. All service manuals, parts catalogs, and maintenance logs are included with delivery.
