Denis Robson, who has vast industry experience and spent several years working for a leading manufacture in China, worked with LiuGong on specifications to suit western markets. He has been involved with LiuGong since it established a joint venture with then singular entity Case Construction in 1995 to assemble, manufacture, sell and distribute the Case 580L loader/backhoe in China.
Denis is now a offering range of LiuGong equipment in Australia, with many of the company’s wheel loaders and excavators, already seeing service and receiving positive feedback. The official Australian product launch took place at the National Construction Exhibition in Sydney in November.
Denis told us that, “whilst the initial interest may be based on price advantage, these machines will soon establish a reputation as a reliable and economical alternative with great after sales support. They are fitted with Cummins engines, ZF transmissions and other well-known components”.

LiuGong Australia has established a centrally located warehouse, which holds a substantial parts stock.
“The Australian market is ready for Chinese equipment,”
Denis said. “Contractors need good quality equipment, at
a lower price.”
