LiuGong 820TE Electric Wheel Loader | Quiet, Clean & Powerful for Landscaping

As councils demand quieter, cleaner work sites and clients increasingly value low-impact construction, electric equipment is (quietly) making more noise.

The LiuGong 820TE electric wheel loader is a compact machine that brings battery power into the kinds of tasks every landscape contractor knows well: loading topsoil, moving mulch, feeding small dump trucks all in noise-sensitive areas.

Right size, real performance

The 60kW 820TE offers an extremely quiet, energy-saving and environmentally friendly solution. It can store 70.5kWh and caters up to a 2-tonne load in its 1.2m3 bucket, while operators can easily adjust the traction force and vehicle driving speed.

The 820TE is built to be nimble on constrained sites with a tight turning circle and an operating weight of 6,600 kg, giving the loader the stability needed for material handling while remaining compact for access and transport.

Why electric matters on landscaping jobsites

Lower operating cost potential: Electric drivetrains have fewer moving parts to service, dramatically reducing the operating costs with less servicing costs, and the added benefit of no down time with machines out of the field.

Noise reduction: Many residential and urban landscaping jobs occur near homes, schools or hospitals where noise curfews matter. The electric drive and ancillary systems make the 820TE far quieter than a comparable diesel-powered loader, allowing crews to work earlier or later.

Zero local emissions: On enclosed sites, in tree nurseries, the zero tailpipe emissions of electric machines remove a persistent environmental and health concern. This also simplifies 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 ~70 kWh — 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, giving piece 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.

Local support

Buying battery equipment is not just about the machine — it’s about aftersales, parts and local expertise. That’s where LiuGong excels. In Australia, an extensive national dealer network provides parts, trained technicians and the kind of on-the-ground support that turns a promising machine into a reliable asset. This has recently been boosted by the introduction of a metro dealer network in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane via Construction Distribution Australia (CDA).

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, before a second generation, including the launch of its first electric skid steer, in 2022, followed by the arrival of 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 well over 12million operational hours of LiuGong electric equipment already operating in the field through 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.
