LuGong Rough Terrain Forklifts: All Terrain Handling Experts for Construction Sites

In construction projects, the construction site is often not a flat thoroughfare; mud, gravel, ramps and obstacles all present challenges to material handling equipment. Traditional industrial forklift cannot meet the requirements in such environments. Rough terrain forklift, with its strong performance and excellent adaptability, has become the first choice for construction sites.

Introduction of LuGong Rough Terrain Forklift

LuGong rough terrain forklift is a construction machine that integrates wheel loader chassis technology and forklift functionality. Its core positioning is to solve the material loading and unloading, stacking and transferring tasks that cannot be accomplished by ordinary forklifts under the rugged, soft and muddy ground conditions, etc. LuGong’s hot-selling models include the following two models.
LM836 Rough Terrain Forklift: Rated load 3Ton | Maximum lifting height 3m | YUNNEI 4102 engine (65kW)
LM838 Rough Terrain Forklift: Rated load 4Ton | Maximum lifting height 4m | YUNNEI 4102 turbocharged (76kW)

Features of LuGong Rough Terrain Forklift

The reason why LuGong rough-terrain forklift trucks can be very powerful on the construction sites is because of their targeted hardcore design:

1. Excellent off-road performance

Four-wheel drive and Articulated frame: The standard powerful four-wheel drive system ensures sufficient traction even on low traction surfaces such as mud and sand. Combined with the flexible articulated frame, it not only has a small turning radius, but also adapts to the undulations of the terrain and ensures that all four wheels touch the ground as much as possible, providing the best stability and passability.
High ground clearance: With a chassis height far exceeding that of ordinary forklifts, it can easily cross common obstacles such as gravel and short wooden squares at construction sites, avoiding chassis damage and guaranteeing unimpeded passage of the vehicle.
Professional engineering tires: the adoption of wider tread and deep tread engineering tires provides excellent grip and anti-puncture ability, whether it is slippery soil or sharp construction debris, can be handled with ease.

2. Powerful power system:

Branded diesel engine: Equipped with powerful branded engines such as Xinchai and Yunnei, it can not only provide power for full-load traveling, but also easily perform heavy-duty hill climbing tasks.
Optimized transmission system: The torque converter and transmission are carefully matched to make the power transmission smooth and efficient, which not only ensures the explosive power during operation, but also takes into account the fuel economy.

3. Stable and Reliable Carrying and Handling:

Heavy-duty Frame and Door Frame: To meet the heavy-duty requirements of construction sites, the frame and door frame are made of thickened steel and reinforced design, which have high torsion resistance and carrying capacity, ensuring that they remain stable as a mountain when lifting 3-5 tons of heavy loads.
Wide field of vision portal frame design: Under the premise of ensuring strength, the portal frame structure is optimized to provide drivers with a wide field of vision in front, which greatly improves the precision and safety of the operation.
Full hydraulic steering and braking: The full hydraulic steering system is adopted, which provides light steering and precise pointing; the reliable traveling brake ensures that sufficient braking power can be provided when the truck is fully loaded and going downhill, so safety is guaranteed.

LuGong rough terrain forklifts can do almost everything on construction sites:

Scenario 1: Multi-scenario application on construction sites

Scenario 1: Material handling at the early stage of the site:
Challenge: The ground is not hardened, and it is muddy after the rain, and piles of bricks, cement, sandbags and other basic materials need to be unloaded from trucks and transferred to the stockpiling point.
Application: With the four-wheel drive system and high ground clearance, LuGong rough terrain forklift can drive directly into the soft mud, pick up the goods from the side of the truck, and then easily traverse the potholes and accurately put the materials into the designated area.

Scenario 2: Vertical and Slope Transportation in Main Construction

Challenge: Materials such as formwork, steel reinforcement, scaffolding, etc. need to be transported to a construction platform with a certain height or through a temporarily built slope.
Application: Its strong power ensures that climbing slopes with a full load is effortless. Operators can make use of its precise gantry lifting and forward tilting functions to safely and smoothly lift several tons of materials to a platform several meters high, or travel steadily along a slope, greatly improving the efficiency of supplying materials in the vertical direction.

Scenario 3: Match with the attachments to become a “multi-functional machine”.

Challenge: In addition to forklift, there are diversified needs such as clearing debris and handling irregular materials (e.g. pipes) at construction sites.
Application: LuGong Rough Terrain Forklift can be quickly transformed by quickly changing the attachments. By replacing the bucket, it is a small wheel loader, which can clean up the site and load sand; and by replacing the gripper, it can easily grab logs, pipes and other irregular materials, realizing the multi-purpose use of one machine, which greatly improves the return on investment of the equipment.

Conclusion

LuGong rough terrain forklift truck perfectly solves the core pain point of material handling in construction sites with its design concept born for real combat. It is not only a forklift, but also a comprehensive solution that integrates passability, carrying capacity, flexibility and versatility. Choosing LuGong is choosing an all-weather, all-terrain reliable partner for your project.
