Quieter, cleaner work sites with LiuGong
A compact machine that brings battery power to tasks every landscape contractor knows well.
The LiuGong 820TE electric wheel loader is a compact machine that brings battery power to tasks every landscape contractor knows well: loading topsoil, moving mulch, feeding small dump trucks and more.
As councils demand quieter, cleaner worksites and clients increasingly value low-impact construction, electric equipment is (quietly) making more noise. LiuGong’s 60kW 820TE offers an extremely quiet, energy-saving and environmentally friendly solution. It can store 70.5kWh and take up to a two-tonne load in its 1.2m3 bucket, while operators can easily adjust the traction force and vehicle driving speed.
The 820TE is also built to be nimble on confined sites and has a tight turning circle. An operating weight of 6600kg gives the loader the stability needed for material handling while remaining compact for access and transport.
Why electric matters
Advantages of electric equipment on jobsites include:
- Fewer moving parts to service, reducing operating and servicing costs, and no downtime with machines out of the field.
- The electric drive and ancillary systems make the 820TE far quieter than a comparable diesel-powered loader, allowing crews to work earlier or later.
- The zero tailpipe emissions of electric machines remove a persistent environmental and health concern, and simplify compliance when councils or clients specify low-emission equipment.
Battery cycles
The 820TE uses a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack with a storage capacity in the order of about 70kWh, enough for day-to-day landscaping cycles when the machine is sized correctly to the task.
LiuGong BEV batteries come with a five-year/10,000-hour warranty and are maintenance-free for peace of mind.
Operator comfort and controls
LiuGong wheel loaders are easy to operate and comfortable, reducing fatigue. The 820TE’s electric cab environment is quieter and offers less vibration, improving operator focus and comfort during long days.
The LiuGong 820TE answers real on-site problems: noise, emissions and operator comfort.
Local support
Buying battery equipment is not just about the machine. It’s about aftersales, parts and local expertise. That’s where LiuGong excels. An extensive national dealer network across Australia provides parts, trained technicians and the kind of on-the-ground support that turns a promising machine into a reliable asset. In Western Australia, McIntosh & Son provides the trusted local parts and service support network for LiuGong machinery with experienced technicians, genuine parts, and expertise that keeps your equipment working reliably year after year.
LiuGong: the electric leader
LiuGong was one of the first equipment companies to identify the potential of the battery electric vehicle (BEV) heavy equipment and has invested more than $100 million in research, development and machine testing since 2014.
The company released its first generation of electric vehicles in 2020, followed by a second generation in 2022 that included the launch of its first electric skid steer, and then introduced a motor grader last year.
More than 90 products have been launched, offering solutions for almost every application and segment, including mining machinery, industrial and port equipment, agricultural machinery and various other products. There are 11 product lines, including loaders, excavators, mining trucks, aerial work platforms, industrial vehicles and agricultural equipment.
Globally, there are over 12 million operational hours of LiuGong electric equipment in the field throughout Australia, Europe, North America and Latin America, and the electric machines have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by hundreds of thousands of tonnes.
For landscape contractors, the LiuGong 820TE answers real on-site problems: noise, emissions and operator comfort.
