The L956HE is a 5.3-tonne-rated SDLG wheel loader built for heavy loading in quarries, aggregate yards, and infrastructure projects, with a 3 m³ standard bucket and a 17-tonne operating weight. Its 162 kW Weichai WD10G220E23 engine is well matched to the torque converter for quick acceleration, short cycle times, and low fuel consumption per hour.

Strong tipping load and 155 kN of tractive force keep it stable under load, backed by at least 175 kN of breakout force and a 3.1 m dumping height for loading haul trucks. Its 36° steering angle supports maneuverability, and the large cab with good visibility, low noise and vibration, and fast air conditioning reduces operator fatigue over long shifts.
