LIUGONG CLG856H Heavy-Duty Used Wheel Loader 5 Ton 2020 Model with Engine 168Kw Breakout Force
The LIUGONG CLG856H is a premium 5-ton wheel loader manufactured in 2020 and operated for 3,200 hours in a limestone quarry environment. Distinct from many Chinese-brand loaders equipped with regular domestic engines, the CLG856H is fitted with a reliable six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, a mature proven power platform for off-highway equipment, delivering 168 kW (225 hp) at 2,000 rpm with peak torque of 1,050 Nm at 1,400 rpm. This engine platform is widely recognised globally for outstanding durability, broad spare parts accessibility and good fuel compatibility, enabling operators in remote mining regions to enjoy reliable engine service support.
Reliable High-Performance Power Unit: The 168 kW engine delivers noticeable power advantages compared with same-class loaders fitted with standard domestic engines. It boasts a long service life and benefits from a worldwide spare parts supply network covering 190 countries. This power unit avoids downtime risks associated with special customized engines that rely on exclusive dealer maintenance. The high-pressure common-rail fuel system supports clean and efficient combustion, alongside stable cold-start performance down to -15°C.
- Industry-Leading Breakout Force: The CLG856H generates a maximum breakout force of 185 kN—among the highest in the 5-ton loader class—through its optimized Z-bar linkage geometry and high-capacity hydraulic system. When digging into compacted quarry faces, shot rock piles, or frozen stockpiles, the loader penetrates and fills the bucket with significantly less wheel spin and shorter cycle time compared to loaders with 155–170 kN breakout ratings.
- Heavy-Duty Axles and Drivetrain: Equipped with LIUGONG’s proprietary heavy-duty drive axles featuring wet disc brakes on all four wheels, the CLG856H is purpose-built for quarry and mining duty cycles. The wet disc brake design eliminates the exposure drawbacks of conventional drum or dry-disc systems, providing consistent braking performance in dusty, muddy, and wet conditions with dramatically extended service intervals.
- Load-Sensing Hydraulic System: The variable-displacement piston pump with load-sensing control directs hydraulic flow precisely where needed, reducing energy waste during partial-load operations. Combined with the dual-stage relief valve, the system maintains smooth, proportional control whether handling delicate pipe loading or aggressive face digging, while generating less heat than fixed-displacement gear pump systems.
- Reinforced Bucket with Wear Package: The 3.0 m³ standard bucket is constructed from high-strength wear-resistant steel on the floor and side cutters, with bolt-on replaceable cutting edge segments. This heavy-duty bucket configuration extends service life in abrasive materials such as granite, basalt, and high-silica sand by 3-4 times compared to standard carbon steel buckets used on lighter-duty loader models.
- Advanced Cooling System: A hydraulically driven, variable-speed cooling fan with a stacked radiator-intercooler-hydraulic oil cooler arrangement provides adaptive thermal management. The fan speed modulates based on real-time coolant, intake air, and hydraulic oil temperatures rather than running at constant full speed, reducing parasitic power loss by up to 12 kW during light-load operation while ensuring full cooling capacity during heavy summer work.
- Spacious Cab with Integrated Controls: The ROPS/FOPS certified cab features a 7-inch color TFT display providing real-time engine data, fuel consumption, service reminders, and rear-view camera feed. The pilot-operated joystick controls integrate direction shifting, gear selection, and boom/bucket functions into a single ergonomic control station, reducing operator hand movement by 60% compared to separate steering wheel and lever arrangements.

The LIUGONG CLG856H with high-power engine and heavy-duty specification is purpose-matched for the most demanding material handling environments. In quarry and open-pit mining operations, the combination of 185 kN breakout force and wet disc brakes enables sustained high-productivity face loading of blasted rock into articulated dump trucks and on-highway tipper trucks. For cement and aggregate plants, the loader’s dust-resistant wet disc brakes and reinforced wear-resistant bucket minimize unscheduled downtime and part replacement frequency compared to standard-configuration loaders. In port and bulk terminal operations handling ores, coal, and mineral concentrates, the sealed brake system and corrosion-resistant electrical connectors ensure operational reliability in saline coastal atmospheres. Infrastructure contractors working in remote areas particularly benefit from the extensive global spare parts supply network and the loader’s modular component design that allows major assemblies to be exchanged without specialized tooling.
Each LIUGONG CLG856H undergoes a rigorous 72-point pre-delivery inspection including engine operating data verification to confirm actual operating hours and duty cycle history, compression testing on all six cylinders, hydraulic system pressure and flow verification at multiple test points, and ultrasonic thickness measurement of structural frame members at high-stress zones. A comprehensive inspection report with high-resolution photographs is provided for buyer review before shipment. Shipping is arranged via RO-RO vessel with full marine insurance coverage; containerized flat-rack shipping is available for destinations without RO-RO port facilities. The loader comes with a 60-day powertrain warranty covering engine, transmission, and drive axles, supported by LIUGONG’s international dealer network spanning 100+ countries. Complete documentation including operator manual, parts catalog, service history records, and engine operating data report is delivered with the machine.
