Configuration Advantages
The machine is equipped with a WD10 engine specially customized by Weichai (a member of the same group) and optimally matched with Shantui’s reinforced in-house planetary transmission. This combination forms an energy-efficient and powerful powertrain, offering high reliability and improved operating efficiency.
Easy Maintenance and Operator Comfort
The integrated cab provides 15% more interior space, improved sealing, and reduced noise levels. The placement of the air and fuel filters on the same side as the engine, together with externally mounted brake calipers on the drive axle and an integrated relay box, contributes to easier maintenance and improved service efficiency.
Adaptability to Various Working Conditions

The front axle is equipped with three brake calipers, ensuring more reliable braking performance and better adaptability to demanding operating conditions. It can be equipped with a range of heavy-duty specialized attachments, such as rock and coal buckets, to meet the requirements of various intensive applications.
The L68K-B5 wheel loader has been developed on Shantui’s all-new platform and complies with China’s Stage II non-road emission standards. With a rated load capacity of 6.5 tons, it features a newly calibrated powertrain that delivers highly efficient and reliable power transmission. The integrated cab provides a more spacious and comfortable operating environment, while the pressed engine hood offers a modern and stylish appearance. Thanks to its hydraulic steering system with flow amplification, which ensures effortless operation, the machine is widely used in ports, coal mines, and gravel yards.
