LiuGong Enters North American Motor Grader Market

2025-08-07

LiuGong has unveiled its first motor grader for the North American market with the 39,683-pound, 225-horsepower 4215D.

Jointly designed by teams from China, the U.K. and the U.S., LiuGong says the 4215D is ideal for “use in high-end markets,” such as road construction, airport runway leveling and other earthwork projects. The company offers five additional D Series motor grader models, ranging from 27,778 pounds to 45,194 pounds, in other markets that we suspect may be introduced in the U.S.

The 4215D comes equipped with a Tier 4 Final Cummins engine and a six-forward, three-reverse ZF 6BP powershift transmission, delivering high torque with low fuel consumption, the company says. The limited-slip differential enhances traction.

Helical gears increase transmission efficiency and provide a fast acceleration response, while a new-generation electric proportional variable speed control system offers smoother gear shifting for more comfortable operation, according to LiuGong.
