The LT956 is a 5-ton mechanical shovel loader machine designed around the classic front-mounted bucket + Z-type reverse linkage architecture - the defining "shovel loader" configuration that scoops loose material from the ground and loads it into trucks, hoppers or conveyors. Its single-rocker working device delivers high breakout force and high dumping height, while the reinforced hinge pins and bearings raise carrying capacity for heavy-load duty.
Powered by a Weichai WD10G220E23 162 kW turbocharged engine, the LT956 pairs a single-stage four-element dual-turbine torque converter with a planetary power-shift transmission for smooth, reliable power delivery. The exclusive double-pump confluence and equivalent-unloading hydraulic system rationally uses engine power and effectively reduces energy consumption, while independent transmission-oil and hydraulic-oil cooling improve system stability.

Double-Pump Confluence Hydraulics
Exclusive energy-saving patent technology: double-pump, double-circuit confluence with turning priority and unloading hydraulic system. Rational use of engine power reduces fuel consumption effectively.
Single-stage four-element dual-turbine torque converter + planetary power-shift transmission. Wide high-efficiency range and easy gear shifting for smooth, reliable power delivery.
Bigger hinge pins and hinge bearings raise carrying capacity. Exclusive dust-proof layer and sealed articulation points make the loader more durable in dusty, abrasive environments.
Sound-proofing, heat-proofing and shock-absorbing cab with spacious operating space, broad view and comfortable adjustable seats. Four-wheel dual-line pliers disc braking for safe operation.
Auto Cooling Technology on brake system improves safety. Optional attachments: coal bucket, rock bucket, high/side dumping, floating forks, log grapple, snow blade, grass fork.

Verified factory parameters cross-referenced with multiple manufacturer listings. Custom bucket, tire and engine configurations available on request.

★★★★★
"We run three LT956 units across our aggregate yard in Indonesia. The single-rocker Z linkage scoops compacted gravel effortlessly, and the double-pump hydraulics genuinely cut our fuel bill. The short wheelbase is a big plus for maneuvering in tight stockpile aisles."
Agus Pratama
Fleet Manager, PT Beton Jaya, Indonesia
★★★★★
"After comparing with SDLG LG956L and Cheng Gong CG956C, the LT956 matched them on performance at a better price. The reinforced hinge pins and dust-proof seals really hold up in our dusty quarry. LoaderMarket shipped spare filters and bucket teeth with the machine."

Q: What is the rated load and bucket capacity of the LT956 mechanical shovel loader?
A: The LT956 has a rated operating load of 5000 kg (5 tons) with a standard bucket capacity of 3 m³. Bucket capacity can be configured from 2.5 to 4.5 m³ depending on material density and bucket type (general purpose, rock, coal or light material). A 3.0 m³ general-purpose bucket is the standard configuration.
Q: What engine does the LT956 mechanical shovel loader use?
A: The standard engine is the Weichai WD10G220E23 turbocharged diesel rated at 162 kW (217 hp) at 2000 rpm with max torque ≥745.3 N·m. Optional engines include Shangchai SC11CB220G2B1 and Cummins 6CTA8.3-C215. All comply with Euro II / Tier 2 emission standards.
Q: What makes the LT956 a "mechanical shovel loader machine"?
A: The LT956 is classified as a mechanical shovel loader because it uses a front-mounted bucket connected to a Z-type reverse linkage that scoops loose material (dirt, sand, gravel, rock) from the ground and loads it into trucks or conveyors - the classic shovel-loader action. Its single-rocker design delivers high breakout force for aggressive pile penetration, distinguishing it from forklifts and telehandlers.
Q: What is the advantage of the single-rocker Z-type linkage?
A: The single-rocker Z-type reverse linkage delivers greater breakout force, faster cycle times, high dumping height and automatic bucket leveling - improving productivity and reducing operator fatigue compared to traditional linkage designs. The Z-bar geometry also provides a broad operating view for the operator.
Q: What is the wheelbase and why is it important?
A: The LT956 has a 2900 mm wheelbase - a short-wheelbase configuration. Shorter wheelbases provide superior maneuverability and a smaller turning radius, making the loader ideal for tight job sites, narrow stockpile aisles and confined construction zones where larger long-wheelbase loaders struggle to operate efficiently.
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.
Q: Can I customize the bucket, tires, engine or color?
A: Yes. We offer GP, rock, coal, light-material and log-fork buckets (2.5–5.0 m³), multiple tire options (23.5-25 standard / desert / radial steel / solid), Weichai / Shangchai / Cummins engine, pilot or mechanical control, A/C, and OEM brand color / decals. Optional attachments include floating forks, tire chain, log grapple, block fork, snow blade and grass fork.
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.
