Key Features and Applications

Specialized Block Handling Attachment

The LW500KV-T18 is equipped with high-strength, specialized forks designed specifically for lifting and transporting heavy stone blocks. The fork geometry and material composition are optimized to provide a secure grip and durability against the abrasive nature of raw stone.

Reinforced Structural Frame

To withstand the high torsional stress and extreme vertical loads encountered in quarries, this model features an enhanced chassis and a heavy-duty linkage system. The reinforced front and rear frames ensure a stable platform for lifting even at maximum capacity.

High-Torque Power System

Powered by a 162 kW engine, the machine delivers the necessary traction and hydraulic power for penetrating piles and lifting heavy blocks. The drivetrain is calibrated to provide high breakout force, essential for prying stone blocks in mining environments.

Advanced Hydraulic Control

The optimized hydraulic system provides smooth and sensitive control, allowing the operator to position materials with high precision. This is critical for preventing damage to valuable stone materials during loading and unloading cycles.

Superior Quarry Maneuverability

Despite its heavy lifting capacity, the articulated frame design allows for a tight turning radius. This maneuverability is essential for navigating the restricted spaces and uneven terrains common in stone processing facilities and mines.
