855h 5ton Wheel Loader with 3m3 Bucket with Attachments in Africa

855H – 5 Ton Wheel Loader with 3m³ Bucket | Attachments Available | Built for Africa

Product Overview

The 855H 5‑ton wheel loader is a heavy‑duty loading machine designed for Africa‘s demanding construction, mining, quarry, and infrastructure projects. Powered by a proven Chinese diesel engine (Weichai or Yuchai) delivering 162 kW (approx. 220 HP), it combines high productivity, low fuel consumption, and excellent reliability. With a 3.0 m³ standard bucket, a 5,000 kg rated load capacity, and an operating weight of approximately 16,500 kg, the 855H is built to handle aggregates, sand, earth, coal, and light rock with ease.

A wide range of optional attachments is available – including rock buckets, 4‑in‑1 buckets, light material buckets, pallet forks, log grapples, and quick couplers – allowing the machine to adapt to multiple job site requirements with a single purchase. Available in left‑hand drive (LHD) as standard; right‑hand drive (RHD) on request.

Made in China – Proven in Africa, easy to maintain, and backed by a growing network of parts and service support across the continent.

Key Specifications

Specifications are typical for the 855H platform. Exact values may vary slightly by manufacturer (Liugong, XCMG, SDLG, etc.). Request official datasheet for your chosen brand.

Key Features & Advantages

• Powerful Engine – The Weichai or Yuchai diesel engine delivers 162 kW of power with high torque at low RPM, ideal for repeated loading cycles and fuel‑efficient operation in African working conditions.

• High Breakout Force – With 165 kN of breakout force, the 855H easily penetrates hard aggregate piles, gravel stockpiles, and compacted earth, ensuring high bucket fill factors and faster cycle times.

• Dual‑Pump Confluence Hydraulic System – The hydraulic system features a dual‑pump confluence design with steering always in priority, reducing energy loss and improving responsiveness.

• Rugged Construction – Reinforced front and rear frames, heavy‑duty axles, and a planetary power shift transmission are designed for over 6,000 hours of tough work before overhaul.

• Operator Comfort – The spacious cab offers 309° panoramic visibility, a fully sealed and micro‑pressurized interior for dust protection, a multi‑adjustable seat, and optional air conditioning – essential for hot, dusty African job sites.

• Easy Maintenance – Smart dry axle design positions the disc block outside the rim, allowing brake maintenance without removing tires – saving significant downtime. Centralized grease points and wide‑opening engine hoods further simplify service.

• Attachments for Every Job – The 855H supports a full range of quick‑change attachments, making it a true multi‑purpose machine.

Why the 855H is Built for Africa

• Proven in African Conditions – The 855H platform has been widely used across Africa for over a decade, from West African mining sites to East African quarry operations. Contractors value its simplicity, repairability, and tolerance for local fuel quality.

• Growing Parts Network – Weichai and Yuchai engines have established dealer and parts networks across Africa, including South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. We also supply genuine parts directly from China.

• Designed for Hot, Dusty Environments – The sealed, pressurized cab protects operators from dust. The cooling system is designed for high ambient temperatures. Heavy‑duty air filters extend service intervals in dusty conditions.

• Cost‑Effective – A new 855H costs approximately 30‑50% less than comparable European or Japanese loaders, with similar productivity. Used units offer even greater value – typically 30‑70% less than new.

• Flexible Shipping – Multiple units can be shipped together via bulk cargo or RORO, reducing per‑unit freight costs to African ports such as Mombasa (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Lagos (Nigeria), Tema (Ghana), Durban (South Africa), and Luanda (Angola).

Market Insight – Africa Wheel Loader Demand

Africa‘s wheeled loader market is projected to reach USD 1.55 billion by 2031, growing at approximately 5% CAGR. Demand is particularly strong in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, and South Africa, where infrastructure spending is driving the need for 5‑ton loaders with 3‑5 m³ buckets.

For mining contractors in West Africa, a well‑documented low‑hour 855H from a reputable supplier typically commands a premium over units lacking service history. Buyers are increasingly prioritizing supplier transparency, maintenance records, and pre‑shipment inspections.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What engine does the 855H use – is it original?
A: The 855H is powered by a Weichai WP10 series or Yuchai YC6K series diesel engine, rated at 162 kW (approx. 220 HP). Both are original Chinese brands with global parts support and excellent reliability in African conditions.

Q2: Is the 3.0 m³ bucket standard? What other buckets are available?
A: Yes, the 3.0 m³ general purpose bucket is standard. Optional buckets include: rock bucket (2.5–3.0 m³), light material bucket (5.6–6.0 m³), 4‑in‑1 bucket, and high‑dump bucket.

Q3: What attachments can be fitted to the 855H?
A: The 855H supports a wide range of attachments via a quick coupler system, including: rock bucket, 4‑in‑1 bucket, light material bucket, pallet forks, log grapple, snowplow, sweeper, and more. Please specify your application.

Q4: What is the price for a brand new 855H? What about used units?
A:

• Brand new – Factory direct price FOB China main port: approximately USD 34,000 – 45,000, depending on configuration.

• Used (low hours, good condition) – Approximately USD 18,000 – 28,000, depending on year, hours, and maintenance history.

For bulk orders (3+ units), significant volume discounts are available. Contact us for a firm quotation.

Q5: Is the 855H available with right‑hand drive (RHD)?
A: The 855H is manufactured as left‑hand drive (LHD) as standard. RHD is available on request with extended lead time (approx. 4‑6 weeks). Please confirm when ordering.

Q6: What emission standards are available?
A: Standard configuration is Tier 2 / China II, which remains widely accepted across Africa. Tier 3 / China III and Euro 3 versions are available on request for markets with stricter requirements.

Q7: What is the fuel consumption?
A: Under normal working conditions (loading aggregates, 40‑50 cycles per hour), fuel consumption is approximately 12‑16 L/hour. The Weichai engine‘s low‑speed torque design optimizes fuel efficiency for repeated loading cycles.

Q8: Do you provide spare parts?
A: Yes. We stock genuine Weichai, Yuchai, and loader parts – filters, engine components, hydraulic seals, tires, buckets, and more. For bulk orders (3+ units), we include a starter parts kit. We can also arrange ongoing parts supply contracts.

Q9: How is the loader shipped to Africa?
A: Most economical is RORO (roll‑on/roll‑off) – the loader drives directly onto the vessel. For multiple units, bulk cargo shipping further reduces per‑unit costs. Main ports: Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, Guangzhou. Transit: 25‑45 days to major African ports.

Q10: What documents do you provide for customs?
A: Commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin (“Made in China”), export declaration, engine/chassis number verification, and emission compliance statement (Tier 2 / China II) as required.
