When Salvage Management and Disposals (SMD), one of South Africa’s leading vehicle management and sales companies, wanted to update its older forklift fleet the company looked beyond traditional replacements. Having analyzed a number of options for the specialized vehicle handling work, the company settled on customized SDLG wheel loaders from Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (known as Lingong).

SMD purchased two SDLG LG938L wheel loaders, with a 3-ton lift capacity, and had each fitted with special attachments to suit their specific workload. The machines were supplied by Babcock International Group, the exclusive distributor of SDLG machinery in southern Africa.

SMD provides a variety of vehicle services, including collection, processing, storage and sales from several locations across South Africa. The company specializes in vehicles that have been repossessed or damaged.

The SDLG wheel loaders have been modified to handle specific tasks which include moving accident-damaged vehicles around the company’s yard. To do this they have been fitted with forks and a customized platform to improve the loading process. The modifications provide a stable and safe way of moving loads. The forklifts that previously handled the work had encountered mobility and stability issues on the yard’s rough terrain, but the uneven ground poses no problems for the SDLG units.

Power for the LG938L comes from a China-built Dongfeng Cummins 6BT5.9 engine which delivers 97 kW of power at 2,200 rpm and 560 Nm of torque. Maximum forward speed is 36 km/h and the machines travel through four forward and three reverse gears.

The LG938L is manufactured along with other wheel loaders, excavators, road machinery and construction equipment at Lingong’s production facility in Linyi, Shandong Province, China.
