This ZL50 shovel loader is engineered to deliver the same specification as the industry's most recognized 5-ton wheel loaders - the Caterpillar 950GC, Komatsu WA380 and Liugong ZL50CN. Same rated load (5000 kg), same bucket capacity (3 m³), same engine power class (162 kW Weichai turbocharged diesel), same breakout force, same 23.5-25 tires, same dumping height and reach, same overall footprint.
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 dealer markup, we deliver 90%+ of the big-brand performance at roughly 50% of the price. Wear parts (bucket teeth, filters, bearings, hydraulic seals) follow the ZL50-series industry standard and are interchangeable with Liugong ZL50CN and SDLG LG956L components - no proprietary lock-in, no expensive OEM-only parts.

★★★★★
"We ran a fleet of Cat 950GC loaders for years but the capital cost and parts prices kept climbing. We trialed this ZL50 equivalent and the performance is genuinely indistinguishable on aggregate loading - same bucket fill, same cycle time, same dumping height into our trucks. We've replaced three Cat units with these and saved over $150,000. Parts interchange with our Liugong ZL50CN stock."
Ahmed Al-Rashid Fleet Manager, Gulf Aggregate LLC, UAE |
★★★★★
"Our quarry in Indonesia needed a WA380-class loader but the Komatsu quote was $95,000. This ZL50 equivalent cost $32,000 CIF and has been running 10 hours a day for 8 months without a major issue. Same 23.5-25 tires, same bucket, same dumping reach into our crusher hopper. The Weichai engine is the same one in our Liugong, so our mechanics already know it."
Budi Santoso Operations Director, PT Tambang Nusantara, Indonesia |
Q: What does "same specification to Cat 950 / Komatsu WA380 / Liugong ZL50CN" mean?
A: It means this ZL50 shovel loader is engineered to deliver the same rated load (5000 kg), same bucket capacity (3 m³), same engine power class (162 kW), same breakout force, same 23.5-25 tire size, same dumping height and reach, and same overall dimensions as the Caterpillar 950GC, Komatsu WA380 and Liugong ZL50CN. It is a drop-in equivalent alternative - same job, same footprint, same performance class, at roughly 50% of the big-brand price.
Q: Are the parts interchangeable with Cat 950 / Komatsu WA380 / Liugong ZL50CN?
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 Liugong ZL50CN and SDLG LG956L parts. For Cat 950 and Komatsu WA380, the bucket teeth and filters may use brand-specific part numbers, but we supply compatible equivalents and the bucket pin dimensions match. Critical powertrain components (Weichai engine, torque converter, transmission) use standard ZL50 architecture.
Q: Why is this equivalent loader so much cheaper than Cat 950 or Komatsu WA380?
A: Three reasons: (1) Factory direct supply - no dealer network markup (Cat/Komatsu dealers add 25–40%); (2) Proven mature ZL50 platform using standardized mass-produced components that benefit from China's economies of scale; (3) Lean configuration - we exclude premium add-ons (luxury cab trim, advanced telematics, brand-name decals) while keeping all essential performance and safety features. You get the same 5-ton performance class at roughly 50% of the big-brand price.
Q: What is the rated load and bucket capacity of this ZL50 shovel loader?
A: Rated operating load is 5000 kg (5 tons) with a standard bucket capacity of 3 m³ - identical to Cat 950GC, Komatsu WA380 and Liugong ZL50CN. 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).
Q: What engine does this equivalent 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 (168 kW) used in the 950GC and the Komatsu SAA6D107E (164–199 kW) used in the WA380. Optional engines include Shangchai SC11CB220G2B1 and Cummins 6CTA8.3-C215 (the same Cummins used in the Liugong ZL50CN). All comply with Euro II / Tier 2 emission standards.
Q: Can I use this as a direct replacement for my existing Cat 950 / WA380 / ZL50CN fleet?
A: Yes. The ZL50 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 fleets, parts are directly interchangeable; for Cat/Komatsu 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.
