CCGT Granulats in Morocco has added new SDLG machinery to its quarry operations to better meet the country's rising demand for aggregates.

Among the machines added in the past year are four SDLG units from Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (known as Lingong). Three machines are at the Granulats location and one is at its Concentrium facility close to Marrakesh.

The first machine on site at Granulats was a 5 t lift capacity LG958 wheeled loader, which arrived just 12 months ago. The quarry owners were so impressed with the SDLG machine, particularly the fuel efficiency and product support from local dealer SBMH, that a further wheeled loader, a 7 t lift capacity LG978, plus a 30 t rated LG6300E excavator, were added.

Both the loaders work in the final phase of the quarry, loading the trucks for export. The pair have Weichai engines, the LG958 a 162 kW unit and the LG978 a 220 kW unit, although as the LG978 is a new machine with a newer engine, CCGT is reporting equivalent levels of fuel efficiency on both loaders. Vehicle weight for the LG958 is 16.6 t, while the LG978 weighs 23.5 t. Maximum breakout force is 168 kN on the smaller unit, and 216 kN on the larger, while bucket capacities are 3 m3 and 4.2 m3 respectively.
