Saving vs Cat
This 5-ton wheel loader is engineered to deliver the same specification as the Caterpillar 950GC and 950G - the industry's benchmark 5-ton wheel loader. Same rated load (5000 kg), same bucket capacity class (3 m³, Cat 950GC 2.5–4.4 m³), same engine power class (162 kW Weichai turbocharged diesel, equivalent to Cat C7.1 168 kW), same breakout force (145 kN vs Cat 147 kN), same 23.5-25 tires, same 3300 mm wheelbase, same dumping height and reach for loading the same highway.
The difference is the price. By leveraging the proven mature ZL50 platform - the highest-volume 5-ton loader architecture in China, with millions of units in global operation - and selling factory-direct with no Cat dealer markup, we deliver 90%+ of Cat 950 performance at roughly 40% of the price. Wear parts (bucket teeth, filters, bearings, hydraulic seals) follow the ZL50-series industry standard and are interchangeable with SDLG LG953, Liugong ZL50CN and XCMG LW500FN components - no proprietary lock-in, no expensive Cat-only parts.

Budi Santoso |
Q: Is this wheel loader really equal to the Cat 950GC?
A: Yes. This ZL50 loader is engineered to the same 5-ton specification as the Cat 950GC: same rated load (5000 kg), same bucket capacity class (3 m³, Cat 950GC 2.5–4.4 m³), same engine power class (162 kW Weichai vs Cat C7.1 168 kW), same breakout force (145 kN vs Cat 147 kN), same 23.5-25 tires, same 3300 mm wheelbase class, and same dumping height/reach for loading the same trucks. It is a drop-in equivalent alternative delivering 90%+ of Cat 950 performance at roughly 40% of the price.
Q: Are the parts interchangeable with a Cat 950?
A: Wear parts and consumables - bucket teeth, cutting edges, hydraulic filters, oil filters, bearings, hydraulic seals, O-rings, and 23.5-25 tires - follow the ZL50-series industry standard and are interchangeable with corresponding SDLG LG953, Liugong ZL50CN and XCMG LW500FN parts. For Cat 950-specific part numbers, we supply compatible equivalents with matching bucket pin dimensions. Critical powertrain components (Weichai engine, torque converter, planetary transmission) use standard ZL50 architecture.
Q: Why is this Cat 950 equivalent so much cheaper?
A: Three reasons: (1) Factory direct supply - no Cat dealer network markup (Cat dealers add 25–40%); (2) Proven mature ZL50 platform using standardized mass-produced components benefiting from China's economies of scale; (3) Lean configuration - we exclude premium add-ons (luxury cab trim, advanced telematics, Cat brand decals) while keeping all essential performance and safety features. You get the same 5-ton Cat 950 performance class at roughly 40% of the Cat price.
Q: What is the rated load and bucket capacity?
A: Rated operating load is 5000 kg (5 tons) - identical to the Cat 950GC. Standard bucket capacity is 3 m³, configurable from 2.5 to 4.5 m³ depending on material density and bucket type (general purpose, rock, coal or light material). The Cat 950GC offers 2.5–4.4 m³ - the same class.
Q: What engine does this loader use, and how does it compare to Cat C7.1?
A: The standard engine is the Weichai WD10G220E23 turbocharged diesel rated at 162 kW (217 hp) at 2000 rpm - the same power class as the Cat C7.1 (151–168 kW) used in the 950GC. Max torque ≥745.3 N·m (peak 920 N·m), comparable to Cat C7.1's 931–1020 N·m. Optional engines include Shangchai SC11CB220G2B1 and Cummins 6CTA8.3-C215. All comply with Euro II / Tier 2 emission standards (Cat 950GC meets Tier 3).
Q: Can I use this as a direct replacement for my existing Cat 950 fleet?
A: Yes. The loader is designed as a drop-in replacement: same 23.5-25 tires, same bucket pin dimensions, same dumping height and reach for loading the same trucks, same operating weight class, and same operator controls (pilot joystick). Operators transition with minimal retraining. For existing ZL50CN/SDLG fleets, parts are directly interchangeable; for Cat fleets, we supply compatible wear-part equivalents.
Q: What is the warranty, MOQ and lead time?
A: Standard warranty is 12 months or 2000 working hours, whichever comes first. MOQ is 1 unit. Lead time is 15–25 working days after deposit. One unit is loaded per 40HQ container (bucket and cab removed for transport and reassembled on arrival). FOB, CIF and DDP terms are all supported with full export documentation.
Q: What payment terms do you accept?
A: T/T (30% deposit, 70% before shipment), L/C at sight, Western Union and PayPal (for sample orders) are accepted. Trade Assurance via Alibaba is also supported for buyer protection.
