Wheeled loader L55-B5

Tier 2dieselfor construction

Overview
The L55-B5 wheel loader is a medium/heavy-duty model from Shantui developed on the company's latest R&D platform. It combines upgraded powertrain, a new-generation exterior and cabin design, a 3250 mm wheelbase (configurations shown as 3270/3250 mm), and a center-articulated layout for balanced load distribution and consistent machine performance.

Configuration selling point
The machine is fitted with a Weichai WD10 engine (supplied by an affiliated enterprise) matched to a Shantui planetary transmission, forming an energy-efficient core powertrain designed to improve fuel use and operational productivity.

Ease of maintenance and operator comfort

• Integrated cab increases interior space by approximately 15% with improved sealing and noise reduction.
• Air and diesel filters are located on the same side as the engine for simplified servicing.
• Brake calipers on the drive axle are externally mounted to facilitate maintenance.

Adaptability to diverse working conditions
Reinforced axle box and front/rear frames provide high load-bearing capacity, making the L55-B5 suitable for earthmoving, coal, ore and aggregate operations in quarrying, mining and infrastructure projects.
