Customers from Jiangsu Province visited Shandong Lutong to inspect the WZL130 Steering Axle for deepening cooperation and reaching consensus
Recently, a group of construction machinery customers from Jiangsu Province visited Shandong Lutong Heavy Industries Machinery Co., Ltd. for site inspections and technical exchanges. The purpose of this visit was to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the research and development and production capabilities of leading axle products, as well as to conduct in-depth discussions on the technical compatibility and application of the intended products. The relevant company representative and technical staff accompanied the reception throughout the entire process.
Focus on the sample exhibition area and concentrate on the intended products.
The client and accompanying individuals entered the company's product sample display area for the first time. The exhibition showcases products covering industries such as loader drive axles, grader drive axles, underground load-haul-dump machine drive axles, wheeled excavator drive axles, and tractor drive axles. The rich variety of products left a deep impression on the customers. The customers stopped to observe one after another, showing great interest in the diverse range of goods.
Among the many exhibits, the focus of this visit was the WZL130 steering drive axle. The customer inquired in detail about the structural design, configuration parameters, and adaptation range of the product, and conducted detailed technical discussions with the engineers on site. The WZL130 steering drive axle is a high-performance steering drive axle specially developed by Shandong Lutong for wheeled excavator loaders with a load capacity of 10 to 12 tons, integrating both drive and steering functions. The main reduction mechanism of this product uses Gleason arc bevel gears, which offer high transmission efficiency and low noise; the wheel rim is equipped with an NGW-type planetary reduction mechanism, with a reasonable and compact design. The cast steel axle housing is heat-treated as a whole, providing high load-bearing capacity and good rigidity, reliably withstanding frequent start-stop braking and the reaction forces transmitted to the axle housing during bucket operation.
Disc clamping braking and multi-mode steering suitable for various special vehicles
During the technical exchange, the engineers focused on the key advantages of the WZL130 steering drive axle in terms of the braking system and steering. The product uses a hydraulic clamp disc brake system, which offers greater braking torque, faster response, and better stability and reliability compared to traditional drum brakes. The clamp disc brake has an open design with excellent heat dissipation performance, effectively avoiding thermal fade during frequent braking. At the same time, the brake discs and friction pads are made of high-quality wear-resistant materials, featuring low wear and long replacement cycles, effectively reducing the user's operating costs.
Regarding the steering system, the WZL130 steering drive axle is equipped with a centrally mounted double-acting steering cylinder, which is flexible and lightweight in operation. Both the front and rear axles have steering functions that can support various modes, such as front-wheel steering, rear-wheel steering, four-wheel steering, and rear-wheel steering, effectively reducing the vehicle's turning radius, allowing the equipment to maintain flexible maneuverability even in tight spaces.
The customer highly praised the configuration of the clamp disc brake for the steering drive axle WZL130. Some customer representatives noted that the clamp disc brake has a simple structure and is easy to maintain. For special vehicles that frequently brake and operate for long periods under variable working conditions, this configuration can significantly reduce maintenance complexity and downtime.
The rich product lineup was highly praised by customers.
After visiting the sample exhibition area, the customer and accompanying personnel proceeded further into the production workshop and observed the company's automated production line and assembly process on site. Customers gave positive feedback on Shandong Lutong's standardized production management and stable process control—from precision machining to assembly, from component testing to finished product warehousing.
It is worth noting that during the visit, clients also expressed their concerns about many other products on display, including leading forklift axles, leading grader axles, leading underground scraper axles, etc. When dealing with a multi-specialty and multi-tonnage product line of leading axles, clients are impressed by the company's deep technical potential and broad market coverage in the field of leading axles.
Deepen cooperation and jointly promote development
The visit of customers from Jiangsu Province is not only a detailed introduction to products and technologies, but also an important opportunity for Shandong Lutong to showcase its R&D and production capabilities with an open attitude. As an advanced product in the company's steering drive axle series, the WZL130 steering drive axle has been successfully used in the products of many manufacturers due to its reliable quality and wide adaptability. The rich experience accumulated by Shandong Lutong in the field of steering drive axles with clamp disc brakes also provides customers with a broader range of options when selecting special vehicles.
In the future, Shandong Lutong will continue to focus on customer needs, deepen research, development, and production in areas such as steering drive axles for excavator loaders, and will continue to provide more valuable axle solutions to global construction machinery customers, ensuring reliable product quality and professional technical service.
