SDLG enters heavy-duty motor grader market with new G9290 model

2020-01-08

Leading Chinese construction equipment manufacturer SDLG announced the latest addition to its range of motor graders, the G9290. With a base operating weight of 22.9 tonne and a 14? wide blade as standard, the impressive productivity of blade down force and blade pull makes the SDLG G9290 the best in its size class, according to the company.

The new G9290 is the first motor grader from SDLG in the heavy-duty size class, its strength and capacity making it ideal for mining haul road maintenance, infrastructure projects, road construction, highways and airports.

The robust design of the new G9290 motor grader builds on the proven reputation of its smaller brothers ? the G9138, G9190 (VHP) and G9220 (VHP) ? when it comes to the moldboard, circle turn, drawbar, front axle and rear tandems. However, the G9290 adds a new level of quality with its Volvo-supplied engine and Volvo-designed transmission. A member of the Volvo Group since 2007, SDLG draws on the strength of the group to incorporate high-performance designs and technologies into its products where appropriate.

The SD130B Stage II common rail diesel engine, supplied by Volvo, offers high torque at low revs from a 211 kW output with Variable Horse Power (VHP) technology as standard. Meanwhile, the HTE840S transmission, designed specifically for motor graders by Volvo, has eight speed forward gears and four speed reverse gears all with automatic shifting.
