LGMA

LGMA, also known as Lugong, builds the LM series wheel loaders that DJJ Equipment sells in Australia. DJJ supports them from its Sydney, Brisbane and Perth branches with local workshops, parts stock for commonly required parts and after-sales help through DJJ Care on 1300 646 747.

The range runs from the LM920 and LM930 at 3.8 tonne operating weight with a 1.6 tonne rated load and 0.8 cubic metre bucket, up to the LM946 at 8.2 tonne with a 2.8 tonne rated load and 1.5 cubic metre bucket. Material density and the truck or bin you load matter more than yard size.

Both have a 3.8 tonne operating weight, 1.6 tonne rated load, 0.8 cubic metre bucket and 3,200 mm dump height. The difference is engine power: the LM920 is rated at 42 kW and the LM930 at 65 kW, so the LM930 suits buyers who want more power from the same size machine.

Yes. DJJ hires LGMA wheel loaders as well as selling them. Call 1800 355 388 to check which models are available at your nearest branch and the hire terms. If you would rather own one and spread the cost, finance is available through DJJ's finance partner.

DJJ can supply loader buckets, forks and grapples. Any attachment can reduce usable capacity, so confirm compatibility with the specific LM model first, and see the guide to wheel loader attachments for how each type fits the LM range.

A wheel loader is not a forklift, so the forklift licence classes do not cover it, and competency rules for loaders vary by state and site. Check with SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe Queensland, WorkSafe WA or your regulator, and a Registered Training Organisation, before anyone operates the machine.
