en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, Chinese construction machinery manufacturer Lovol Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lovol Heavy Industry") delivered its first FR2000F mining excavator to an open-pit mine customer in China. This model has an operating weight of 212 tons and a bucket capacity of 12 cubic meters. It is powered by Weichai Power Co., Ltd.'s 12M33 low-speed, high-torque fully electronic control engine, featuring quad-turbocharging technology and a high-pressure common rail modular fuel system. This delivery marks a new expansion of Lovol Heavy Industry's product portfolio in the large-scale mining equipment sector and represents the company's first entry into the 200-ton-plus mining excavator market.
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Weifang City, Shandong Province, Lovol Heavy Industry is a leading Chinese manufacturer of agricultural equipment and construction machinery. In 2019, Lovol Heavy Industry was integrated into the Shandong Heavy Industry Group through an equity restructuring, establishing a controlling relationship with Weichai Power. Leveraging Weichai's industrial chain advantages, Lovol Heavy Industry not only gains access to a range of high-performance engines but also integrates hydraulic system resources under Weichai—LHY Powertrain Company (formerly Linde Hydraulics), a Weichai-controlled entity, supplies core hydraulic components to Lovol Heavy Industry. Linde Hydraulics is a renowned German hydraulic technology company, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Aschaffenburg. It was acquired by Weichai Power in 2012 and specializes in the R&D and manufacturing of high-pressure hydraulic pumps, motors, and valve groups.
The FR2000F excavator incorporates multiple technical configurations in its power and cooling systems. Specific parameters such as the engine's rated power were not disclosed in the published information, but the company claims it offers excellent fuel economy and stable power output. The water and oil cooling systems utilize independent cooling technology, allowing real-time adjustment of the cooling pump displacement and fan speed based on temperature to reduce energy consumption and ensure stable operation under high-load conditions. Key operating parameters include: bucket breakout force of 768 kN, maximum digging height of 14,274 mm, maximum dumping height of 9,661 mm, and maximum digging depth of 8,120 mm. This model has undergone rigorous quality inspections and durability tests, making it suitable for stripping and excavation operations in large open-pit mines.
Lovol Heavy Industry's current mining product range covers excavators (1.5 to 212 tons), loaders (2 to 12 tons), and off-highway wide-body dump trucks (70 to 160 tons payload). The delivery of the FR2000F further enriches its product line in the large-scale mining equipment sector, offering domestic mining customers a localized alternative. According to data from the China Construction Machinery Association, approximately 3,200 mining excavators were sold in China in 2025, with models over 200 tons accounting for about 12% of sales, a market segment predominantly dominated by foreign brands. This delivery may have a tangible impact on the market landscape for domestically produced large mining excavators.
