The new LiuGong 922F excavator has impressed onlookers in the quarrying and earthmoving sectors since its mid-year debut in New South Wales.
The Liugong 922F excavator made its debut at the prestigious National Diesel Dirt & Turf expo held in Sydney earlier this year.
The impressive 22-tonne model attracted a lot of attention from industry professionals, enthusiasts, and media representatives alike, showcasing Liugong’s commitment to innovation and excellence in construction equipment.
As part of the showcase, the 922F excavator was tested in the event’s dig pit, demonstrating its capabilities to attendees. Since then, Liugong’s trusted dealer for New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, Construction Distribution Australia (CDA), has conducted demonstrations for key customers in Queensland.
These demonstrations have allowed professionals from the quarrying and earthmoving sectors to test the 922F excavator in real-world conditions and see how Liugong’s latest machine can support their daily tasks, with the initial feedback being positive.
“It’s given us the opportunity to provide greater exposure to LiuGong, the new model and the various new features over the previous E-series,” CDA Brisbane sales member Joe Plater said.
“They’ve all had the chance to utilise the machine, track it and have a dig with it as well.
“Feedback has been positive. Demo attendees have remarked how smooth the hydraulics are and how beneficial it is to have programs that suit the operator and what tasks they’re doing at the time.”
In designing the F-Series, Liugong completely redesigned the cabin to be larger than its predecessor, and it is equipped with an air suspension seat and silicon oil shock absorbers to support smoother operations. Operators can also use the eight-inch LCD colour touchscreen, which is easy to operate with the control dial located in the armrest.
The new electro-hydraulic system provides pinpoint precision to the operator while also helping maximise the engine power. The new boom float technology prevents excessive pressure during braking applications and further reduces fuel consumption as the boom can fall under its own mass.
The 922F excavator is powered by a Cummins Stage III 124kW engine with three working models available to operators including power, economy and standard, which can reduce fuel costs.
Operators can use these modes to customise the excavator’s performance for their application, with power mode excelling in tasks that require high work efficiency and fuel economy, providing savings while still delivering strong output.
“Operators can adjust the hydraulics speed or cycle times if they want to make them quicker, or if their final trimming, they can suit it to that as well,” Plater said.
“The slew control has also improved to be smoother and more responsive, and it now feels like you’re one with the machine. The E-series and F-series both have quite a quick cycle time when digging, but the F-series gives you a better feel for the machine when you’re working.
The 922F excavator comes standard with a factory-fitted quick hitch and a 1.1 cubic metre general purpose bucket. Since its debut earlier in 2025, customers from various sectors, including quarrying, civil construction, and agriculture, have expressed interest in Liugong’s latest machine.
“We’re making sure potential customers know that this model is a premium machine,” Plater said. “It is well-suited to Tier-1 companies in all aspects.” •
