"A STAR IS BORN" EARTHMOVERS Magazine commented on LiuGong 915FCR Excavator in its May 2022 issue. EARTHMOVERS is the UK's premier magazine dedicated to construction machinery, providing monthly focussed professional analysis and coverage of equipment and its applications from around the world.

The 913FCR/915FCR, LiuGong's sixth-generation F-series excavators, are new Euro V emission short-tail models developed for the European and American markets. 913FCR is used in highway construction, residential buildings, municipal gardens and other working conditions; 915FCR strengthens the chassis and counterweight to adapt to heavier load conditions such as demolition. Since the release of this product in the second half of 2021, it has successively landed in the UK, Spain, France and other countries, filling the gap of LiuGong's product line of 13-15-ton short-tail excavators in the European and American markets.

“It's a powerful, compact machine with great specs and high-end operator comfort,” says operator Mitch. “We've been using other brands of excavators for many years, so we weren't sure about LiuGong equipment at first. But in practical use it impressed us not only with rebar but also with smaller pieces of precast concrete walls."

The 913FCR/915FCR excavator is equipped with a compact turning radius, and its tail turning radius is reduced by 1/3 compared with the previous generation, which is very suitable for urban construction and road work in Europe. Different from the concrete pouring counterweight of the common models, they adopt a large solid cast iron counterweight, so that the tail has a larger balance weight and ensures that the machine has sufficient stability and lifting capacity.

At the SMOPYC exhibition in Spain in November 2021, the 915FCR has already attracted the attention of many visitors and received orders.
