China Long Arm New 5 Ton Wheel Loader - LT955 Extended Boom
A new-generation 5-ton wheel loader with an extended long-arm boom - engineered for higher dumping height and longer reach. The LT955 long arm version achieves approximately 3,700 mm dumping height (versus 3,180 mm on the standard boom), enabling direct loading into high-side mining trucks, elevated hoppers and tall stockpiles that a standard-boom loader cannot reach. Powered by a 162 kW Weichai turbocharged diesel, 5,000 kg rated load, 3 m³ bucket, double swing arms - factory-direct from Liteng's Xiamen ISO 9001 facility.

The Extended-Boom Advantage
The defining feature of the LT955 long arm - an extended boom that raises dumping height and reach for high-side truck loading and elevated material handling.
Higher Dumping Height
The extended long-arm boom raises dumping height to ~3,700 mm - about 16% higher than the 3,180 mm standard boom. The bucket clears the sideboards of high-side mining trucks, dump trucks and feed hoppers.
Longer Dumping Reach
Extended boom geometry also increases dumping reach - the loader can dump material further into the truck bed or hopper without repositioning, reducing cycle time and improving productivity.
High-Side Truck Loading
Standard-boom loaders struggle to clear the tall sideboards of mining trucks. The long arm reaches over the side - direct loading, no spillage, no need for a ramp or lower truck.
Taller Stockpile Stacking
Higher dump height means taller stockpiles in the same yard footprint - more material stored per square meter, less yard space wasted.
New-Generation Reinforced Boom
The long arm is built on a new-generation reinforced boom structure with high-strength steel plate and robot-welded critical joints - engineered to handle the extended-reach torque without flex or fatigue.

★ The long arm trades ~4% breakout force for +16% dumping height - the right trade-off for loading-dominated applications where reach matters more than digging. Choose standard boom for heavy digging; choose long arm for high-side truck loading and stacking.

Quick answers about the long arm LT955, the extended boom and the reach advantage.
Q:1.What is a long arm wheel loader?
A:A long arm wheel loader (also called long boom or extended boom loader) is a wheel loader fitted with an extended boom and arm assembly that increases dumping height and dumping reach. The Liteng LT955 long arm version achieves approximately 3,700 mm dumping height versus 3,180 mm on the standard boom - about 16% higher. This allows the loader to dump material into high-side mining trucks, elevated hoppers, crusher feed bins and tall stockpiles that a standard-boom loader cannot reach. The long arm is built on a new-generation reinforced boom structure with high-strength steel and robot-welded joints to handle the extended-reach torque.
Q:2.What are the advantages of a long arm wheel loader?
A:The long arm wheel loader delivers five advantages: (1) higher dumping height (~3,700 mm vs ~3,180 mm standard, +16%) for loading high-side mining trucks; (2) longer dumping reach for stacking and hopper feeding; (3) ability to load tall trucks without repositioning or ramping; (4) better stockpile stacking height - more material stored per square meter of yard; (5) improved versatility for ports, mines and material yards with elevated receiving surfaces. The trade-off is slightly lower breakout force (~140 kN vs 145 kN) versus the standard boom, which is rarely a constraint in loading-dominated applications where reach matters more than digging force.
Q:3.Long arm vs standard boom - which should I choose?
A:Choose the long arm if your jobsite involves high-side mining trucks, elevated hoppers, crusher feed bins, ship holds or tall stockpile stacking - applications where dumping height is the limiting factor. Choose the standard boom if your work is heavy digging in compacted material, where breakout force matters more than reach. Both share the same 162 kW Weichai engine, 5,000 kg rated load, 3 m³ bucket and 23.5-25 tire. If unsure, send us your truck bed height, hopper height and material type - our engineers will recommend the right boom.
Q:4.Is the long arm boom as durable as the standard boom?
A:Yes. The long arm is built on a new-generation reinforced boom structure with high-strength steel plate, robot-welded critical joints and finite-element-optimized geometry. The extended length increases torque loads, so the boom cross-section, pin diameters and bearing areas are upgraded accordingly. Field testing confirms equivalent fatigue life to the standard boom under normal loading-duty cycles. The long arm is engineered for reach - not a weak point.
Q:5.What is the warranty and lead time?
A:Standard warranty is 12 months or 2,000 working hours, whichever comes first, covering major components including engine, transmission, hydraulic pump, drive axle, working device and long arm boom. Lead time is 20-35 days for stock configurations and 35-50 days for customized builds including the long arm option. Extended warranty options available.
Q:6.Can I customize the bucket or attachments?
A:Yes. Bucket capacity from 2.5 to 4.5 m³, plus quick-change wooden forks, pallet forks, grapples, snow blades and quick couplers. Engine and transmission options also available. We also offer OEM/ODM service with custom paint, decals and specifications.
