Particulars Liugong 8128H Cat 988K
Overview Summary

The Cat 988K offers a higher power output and caters well to heavy-duty material handling with advanced emission standards and a larger fuel tank. The Liugong 8128H boasts a high tipping load and breakout force, greater bucket capacity, and higher dumping height, suitable for mining and infrastructure applications.

Cat 988K Wheel Loader

Pros:
  • Powerful Cat C18 ACERT engine with 580 HP for heavy-duty tasks
  • Advanced emission control meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV standards
  • High maximum torque of 2852 Nm at lower rpm (1200 rpm)
  • A robust Cat Planetary Power Shift Transmission ensures reliability
  • Pilot-operated load-sensing hydraulic steering for precision
  • Larger fuel tank capacity of 712 L for extended operation periods
  • Higher payload capacity of 11300 kg
Cons:
  • Price information not available
  • Smaller bucket capacity range with a minimum of 4.7 m³
  • Lower rolling back angle at full height not specified
  • Maximum dump angle less than Liugong 8128H at 51°

Liugong 8128H Wheel Loader

Pros:
  • Impressive Cummins QSK19 engine with 569 HP
  • Meets Tier 3 / Stage IIIA emission standards
  • Slightly larger piston displacement at 19 L
  • Higher maximum breakout force at 395 kN
  • Greater operational versatility with bucket capacity range starting at 6.5 m³
  • Higher tipping load capacity for both straight and full turn
  • Higher dumping height at 3910 mm and reach at 2050 mm
Cons:
  • Priced at ₹ 1.5-1.55 Crore, which may be a consideration for budget-sensitive buyers
  • Lower maximum torque of 2644 Nm at a higher rpm (1500 rpm)
  • Lower fuel efficiency with a smaller fuel tank of 667 L
  • Higher operating weight, which may affect fuel consumption and mobility

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

The choice between Cat 988K and Liugong 8128H should be based on specific application requirements. If you prioritize environmental compliance and longer operation times, the Cat 988K could be advantageous. However, for applications requiring higher breakout force, tipping load, and greater bucket capacity, the Liugong 8128H is a strong contender. Consider the aspects that align best with your operational needs and budget before making a decision.
