Used Wheel Loader LiuGong 856H 5.5-Ton
Product Information
The used LiuGong 856H wheel loader is a practical choice for construction contractors, quarry operators, mining companies, aggregate yards and machinery distributors that need a high-capacity loader without the cost of purchasing new equipment.
The machine shown in the photos is clearly marked 856H and uses LiuGong's heavy-duty articulated wheel loader layout. It combines a large front bucket, four-wheel drive, strong hydraulic cylinders, large off-road tires and an enclosed operator cab.
For B2B buyers, the 856H is especially attractive because it sits in the popular 5-ton to 5.5-ton loader class. Therefore, it can handle demanding bulk material jobs while remaining easier to transport and maintain than larger loaders.
LiuGong 856H Reference Specifications
The following figures are based on LiuGong's current China-market 856H specification. Because used machines may come from different production years or regional configurations, the actual serial plate and machine condition should be checked before shipment. LiuGong lists the current 856H with a 5,500 kg rated load, 170 kW rated power, 3.0 m³ standard bucket and 17,500 kg operating weight.

These dimensions and performance figures match the 856H's position as a heavy-duty 5.5-ton loader designed for high-volume material handling.
5,500 kg Rated Load for Heavy Material Handling
One of the main advantages of the LiuGong 856H used loader is its 5,500 kg rated load.
This capacity makes the machine suitable for loading sand, crushed stone, soil, coal, ore and other bulk materials. It can also work efficiently with dump trucks in quarries, road projects and large construction sites.
In addition, the standard 3.0 m³ bucket offers a useful balance between capacity and cycle speed. LiuGong lists a wider bucket range of 2.7 to 5.6 m³, which allows different configurations for dense material or lighter bulk products.
Strong Breakout Force for Tough Loading Conditions
The 856H provides up to 180 kN of maximum breakout force in the current domestic specification.
As a result, the bucket can penetrate compacted stockpiles more effectively. This is important when handling gravel, hard soil, demolition material or dense aggregates.
The large lift cylinders and reinforced loader arms also help support repetitive loading work. Meanwhile, the articulated chassis gives the machine good maneuverability around trucks and stockpiles.
Efficient 170 kW Power for Daily Production
The current 856H specification lists 170 kW rated power.
This level of power is suitable for demanding loading cycles while keeping the machine within the conventional 5.5-ton loader category.
However, used 856H machines may have different engine and emission configurations depending on year and destination market. International versions, for example, have also been offered with 162 kW Cummins engines.
For this reason, professional buyers should confirm the engine plate, production year, emission standard and serial number for the specific machine being purchased.
Heavy-Duty Tires and Stable Chassis
The photos show large industrial loader tires with deep tread, which are designed for work on gravel, soil and uneven construction surfaces.
A wide wheelbase and large counterweight help maintain stability when carrying a full bucket. At the same time, the articulated steering system allows the front and rear sections of the loader to pivot around the center joint.
This layout gives the operator better maneuverability in loading yards where repeated reversing and turning are required.
Enclosed Cab for Long Working Shifts
The used LiuGong 856H shown here includes an enclosed operator cab with large glass panels.
Wide visibility helps operators monitor the bucket, tires and surrounding jobsite. The elevated driving position is also useful when loading high-sided trucks.
Before delivery, important cab functions can be checked, including steering controls, gauges, work lights, braking response, transmission operation and air-conditioning condition.
Easy Access for Service and Inspection
Maintenance access is an important factor when buying used heavy equipment.
LiuGong designed the 856H with a forward-opening engine hood and accessible service areas. Official product information also highlights easier access to maintenance points and radiator cleaning.
For a used unit, buyers should inspect the engine, transmission, hydraulic pumps, cylinders, articulation joint, axles, tires and bucket linkage.
Checking these systems before shipping can reduce unexpected repair costs after the machine arrives at the destination.
Suitable Applications
The used LiuGong 856H wheel loader is suitable for a wide range of commercial projects, including quarry loading, sand and gravel handling, road construction, mining support, concrete batching plants, industrial material yards, earthmoving projects and bulk cargo handling.
It can also be a good stock model for used machinery dealers because the 5-ton and 5.5-ton loader category is widely used in many developing markets.
Used LiuGong 856H for International Buyers
For overseas contractors and equipment distributors, buying a used loader requires more than selecting the right model.
Machine condition, working hours, production year, engine status, hydraulic performance, tire wear and shipping dimensions should all be confirmed before purchase.
Our used construction machinery supply process can support equipment inspection, detailed photos, operation videos, export preparation and international shipping coordination.
