Drive axle withstands harsh high altitude tests with flying colors as loaders confidently operate at the forefront of wind power development in Yarlung Tsangpo Valley
Recently, the construction of new energy facilities, such as wind and solar power plants along the Zangpo Yarlung River, has entered the key stage. A series of Shantui loaders was directed to construction sites in the highlands of Tibet. Thanks to stable work in extreme conditions, this technique has become an important force in the implementation of projects for the development of green energy in Tibet. As a supplier of key transmission components for Shantui loaders, Shandong Lutong has developed a leading loader bridge with individual technical solutions, which ensured high efficiency of equipment.
Strict requirements for technology in highlands
Projects of new energy facilities along the Zangpo Yarlung River are an important part of the optimization of China’s energy structure. The working area is located at an average altitude of more than 4000 meters above sea level, where the equipment faces extreme conditions: temperature up to -25 ° C, strong ultraviolet radiation and frequent sand storms. These features impose increased requirements for power, components of components to external influences and failure tolerance of construction equipment, especially to the reliability of the leading bridge of the loader.
Industry practice shows that in highlands, the capacity of construction equipment decreases by 15-30%. Conventional leading bridges of loaders in conditions of low temperatures and sand storms often face problems, such as tightness and decrease in the accuracy of gearing gear. Therefore, the customers of the project carefully checked the characteristics of key components of the technique, and the successful participation of Shantui loaders is directly related to the reliability of their leading bridge.
Individual solutions for difficult conditions
As a long -term partner of Shantui, Shandong Lutong has developed a specialized leading loader bridge taking into account the features of the equipment. The company offered an individual solution for Shantui loaders:
The bridge case is made of high -strength low -alloy steel, which increases the strength of the strength by 20% compared to industry standards and ensures resistance to shock loads in extreme conditions.
The optimized engines of gear teeth provide an efficiency of transmission of more than 96%, compensating for power losses in highlands.
Key technologies strengthen competitive advantages
Shandong Lutong, having more than 30 years of experience in the production of leading bridges of construction equipment, reached a production capacity of 50,000 units per year. The company's products are used in loaders, graders, wheeled loaders, as well as in mining, agricultural and forestry equipment. Thanks to a deep examination in the field of individual solutions and a team with 15-year experience of joint development with technology manufacturers, Shandong Lutong earned the trust of leading customers in various sectors.
Green construction stimulates innovation
With the development of national projects such as the construction of new energy facilities and infrastructure in high-mountain areas, key components of construction equipment are receiving new opportunities for modernization. Experts predict that the demand for specialized drive axles for extreme conditions will grow rapidly in the next five years.
Shandong Lutong's drive axles have already been supplied to companies such as Sany Heavy Industry, LiuGong and SHANTUI, and exported to Russia. The company continues to follow the government's policy of enhancing the adaptability of its products to complex conditions and providing reliable components for green construction projects.
The participation of SHANTUI loaders in the construction of new energy projects in Tibet demonstrates the technological level of Chinese construction machinery and the key role of high-quality components in the production of advanced equipment. By deepening cooperation in the supply chain, companies such as Shandong Lutong are helping to push China's construction machinery industry to a new level of development.
