The L956HL is a 5.5-ton class wheel loader engineered for high productivity in demanding applications. Meeting China Stage IV emission standards, it features six major upgrades in appearance, power, efficiency, reliability, comfort, and maintenance . Combining a powerful Weichai WP10H engine with a TP190 heavy-duty transmission and optimized hydraulic system, it delivers exceptional performance, fuel efficiency, and durability in mining, quarry, construction, and material handling operations.
L956HL Stage IV Wheel Loader
The L956HL represents a comprehensive upgrade from its predecessor, designed to excel in the toughest working conditions while maximizing operator comfort and efficiency . At its core is a Weichai WP10H Stage IV compliant engine delivering 170kW of power, representing a 5% power increase over the previous generation with larger output torque and stronger performance . The engine features higher combustion efficiency, reducing fuel consumption by approximately 10% compared to the previous generation .
The machine is equipped with a TP190 heavy-duty planetary transmission upgraded from the previous TP170 model, featuring magnetic suspension clutch technology for enhanced reliability and extended service life . The dual-pump confluence hydraulic system provides longer confluence time and faster action speeds, achieving a three-in-one cycle time of just 9.8 seconds . The hydraulic system design pressure reaches 21MPa, higher than the industry average, ensuring faster response during high-position loading or heavy-duty operations .
The reinforced structure features a wide-hinge box-type frame with increased load capacity and center-aligned axle design that reduces tire slippage during pushing and heavy-load operations . Both front and rear axles are heavy-duty reinforced types for greater load capacity and higher strength . The wheelbase has been extended to 3,400mm, enhancing machine stability during operation .
The H-series operator cab offers increased space, panoramic visibility, and standard heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort . Features include a color multi-function LCD display showing real-time data such as average fuel consumption, total operating hours, and ambient temperature . The standard high-end suspension seat offers multi-dimensional adjustability to reduce operator fatigue during long working hours . A thoughtful heating/cooling storage box with built-in air conditioning vents adds to operator convenience .
Maintenance accessibility has been improved with large-opening engine hoods and centralized filter layouts . Components feature integrated design with more compact structure and reduced part count . The urea tank and urea pump are conveniently located on the right side of the counterweight for easy refilling and maintenance .
