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
