Shandong Lutong showcased its full range of drive axle products at EXCON India.

Recently, China's leading enterprise in the field of bridges for construction machinery, Shandong Lutong Machinery Co., Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as “Shandong Lutong”) officially announced that it will exhibit its full line of key products and innovative solutions at the India International Exhibition of Construction Equipment (EXCON) in 2025.As the largest, most professional and comprehensive flagship exhibition for construction equipment in India and South Asia, EXCON not only serves as an important window for global construction equipment manufacturers to showcase their cutting-edge technologies, but also as a strategic hub for entering the vast South Asian market.With meticulous preparation, Shandong Lutong will comprehensively showcase the excellent performance of proven products such as Excavator Drive Axle, Loader Axle, Grader Drive Axle through rich displays, detailed product catalogs and professional on-site explanations.In addition, two new products, Forestry Machine Drive Axle and Telehandler Drive Axle, will be unveiled, demonstrating the technological strength and innovative energy of the Chinese drive axle manufacturer to global customers.

Having been in the drive axle field for over 30 years, Shandong Lutong, as a modern high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales and service, has established itself in the industry with the brand identity of "Reliability, Efficiency, Innovation". The company's headquarters is located in Hi-Tech Zone Feicheng, Shandong Province, in the heart of the industrial area, which provides excellent geographical advantages for large-scale development due to convenient transportation and advanced industrial infrastructure. At present, Shandong Lutong has a total area of ​​150,000 square meters, of which the area of ​​standardized production workshops exceeds 100,000 square meters. The company has advanced production equipment including five-axis machining centers, CNC gear grinding machines, fully automated manufacturing and welding robots, and has established a fully automated production line from raw material forging and precision machining to finished product assembly. The annual production capacity exceeds 150,000 units (sets) of various drive axles, capable of meeting the needs of equipping construction, agricultural and mining equipment of various load capacities and for various operating conditions.

Technological innovation is Shandong Lutong's key competitive advantage in the industry. The company has established its own technology center by forming a research and development team consisting of 6 experienced industry experts, 10 senior engineers and many key technical personnel, many of whom have more than ten years of experience in drive axle development and a deep understanding of power transmission systems of various machinery.

In product quality control, Shandong Lutong has implemented a strict quality system covering the entire production process. Already at the stage of purchasing raw materials, a “supplier admission system” is in place, ensuring the stability of the characteristics of raw materials. During the production process, the MES system (Manufacturing Execution System) provides real-time monitoring and traceability of data for each process operation; Key components undergo more than 3 accuracy checks. Before shipment, all drive axles undergo 16 strict tests, including bench fatigue testing, leak testing, high and low temperature adaptation tests. In particular, the excavator drive axle must pass the 2 million fatigue cycle test and the loader axle must pass the 100 ton impact load test, which ensures the product's stable performance under extreme conditions such as high temperature, dust and heavy loads. Due to its superior product quality, the company is certified to ISO9001 quality management system standard. Products are widely supplied to such leading Chinese brands of construction equipment as XCMG, Liugong, Lingong, Shantui, and are also exported to Russia, where long-term cooperation has been established with companies such as RTZ, UMG, Amkodor, Rostovsky and others.

EXCON India will be held from December 9 to 13, 2025 at the International Exhibition Center in Bangalore, India. According to statistics from the exhibition organizers, the latest EXCON attracted more than 1,200 exhibitors from 42 countries and regions, hosted more than 150,000 professional visitors and achieved on-site cooperation agreements worth more than US$1.2 billion. With infrastructure construction accelerating in India and South Asia in recent years, Also due to the modernization of agriculture and the continuous development of the mining industry, the demand for construction equipment in the local market is growing rapidly - by 18% per year, and it is the leading axis of the “energy heart”. As for construction equipment, it is facing a huge shortage in the market. The purpose of Shandong Lutong's participation in this exhibition is to introduce the broad prospects of the South Asian market. The company hopes to use the exhibition site to establish close cooperative relationships with local construction equipment manufacturers, distributors and rental companies, and introduce drive axle products adapted to tropical climates and challenging terrain. to the South Asian market to solve pain points such as “easy loss and poor adaptation” experienced by local customers when using equipment.

At this exhibition, Shandong Lutong will present under the theme “Technological Capabilities. Leading into the Future" and will showcase core products through a variety of forms, including graphic displays, product models and video presentations. Stands featuring three core products - Excavator Drive Axle, Loader Drive Axle and Grader Drive Axle - will occupy the central exhibition area, detailing technical parameters, structural benefits and product application examples. In particular, the company's self-developed series of Excavator Drive Axles, designed for medium and large excavators with a lifting capacity of 10-20 tons, adopts high-strength alloy axle structure, with a power transmission efficiency of up to 96%, and a load capacity 15% higher than similar products in the industry. Optimized for heavy-duty scenarios such as ports and construction sites, the ZL50 loader axle series innovatively uses a two-stage gear structure and anti-slip differential, increasing impact strength by 20% and suitable for forklifts with a lifting capacity of 5-8 tons. The PY grader drive axle series is suitable for various medium and large graders and has wide application prospects in road construction projects in South Asia.

In addition to the proven core products, Shandong Lutong will also introduce two new important products - Forestry Machine Drive Axle and Telehandler Drive Axle. According to the head of the research and development team, these two new products were developed for the special needs of the forestry and logistics sectors. The forestry machine drive axle allows the gear ratio to be adjusted to suit different felling scenarios, and the included anti-whip seal design effectively adapts to jungle conditions. The telehandler drive axle has an optimized steering system and can be widely used in areas such as warehouse logistics and farm transport. Locally distributed product catalogs will detail technical details, compatible models, installation dimensions and service systems for all products on display so that customers can quickly obtain accurate information.

"The South Asian market is an important fulcrum for Shandong Lutong's overseas strategy.
