Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery announced it will introduce its SDLG-branded equipment to customers in North America. The company will launch two models of its wheel loaders — the LG938L 2.4-yard wheel loader, and the LG959, a 4-yard loader with a rated load of five tons.
The entry into North America is the latest phase of the company’s international expansion. SDLG has recently entered markets in Latin America, Russia, Oceania, Africa, the Middle East and much of Asia. Initially the SDLG products will undergo an introduction phase with select dealers before being rolled out to a wider customer base across North America in the coming months.
SDLG was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Linyi, China. It has been a subsidiary of the Volvo Group since 2007. With manufacturing facilities in China and another soon to open in Brazil, the company’s product range consists of wheel loaders, crawler excavators, backhoe loaders, soil and asphalt compactors and motor graders.
“The availability of SDLG machines in North America will provide customers with a new alternative when it comes to purchasing their next wheel loader,” said Al Quinn, SDLG director in North America. “We believe that the SDLG value promise of high reliability in a value-priced product will be appealing to many customers, especially those who would otherwise look at purchasing a used machine. The brand’s arrival in North America is great news for customers who want cost-effective machines that are durable and high quality.”
