Shandong Lutong drive axle strength interprets the ”Made in China" hard core
On December 13, 2025, the International Convention and Exhibition Center in Bengaluru, India, was full of people, and the five-day EXCON INDIA 2025, the International Construction Machinery Exhibition in Bengaluru, India, ushered in its closing day.As a benchmark exhibition in the field of construction machinery in South Asia, this exhibition brings together the world's top equipment manufacturers, parts suppliers and industry experts, and Shandong Lutong Drive axle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Shandong Lutong”) from China, with its high-quality drive axle products tailored for construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and mining machinery, has become one of the most watched Chinese exhibitors during the exhibition.
“The infrastructure construction of India and surrounding South Asian countries is in an explosive period, and the process of agricultural modernization is also accelerating. The demand for drive axles with strong carrying capacity and high durability is extremely urgent.“Wang Jian, director of Shandong Lutong's overseas marketing department, introduced on the spot, "The construction machinery drive axle we brought this time can be adapted to excavators, loaders, graders and other equipment."At the exhibition site, many local machine manufacturers in India came to negotiate with parameter tables of their own equipment, and some companies even proposed to build a localized adaptation center for drive axles with Shandong Lutong, which shows the market attractiveness of their products.
The competitiveness of products stems from the strong production strength of the enterprise.Shandong Lutong is located in the Machinery Manufacturing Industrial Park of Jining City, Shandong Province, covering an area of 150,000 square meters, of which the production workshop covers an area of 100,000 square meters. It is one of the leading drive axle professional production bases.The company has a number of intelligent drive axle production lines, of which the core processing equipment is imported from Germany and Japan, including multi-axis linkage machining centers, CNC horizontal lathes, automatic welding production lines, etc.“Taking the differential shell, the core component of the construction machinery drive axle, as an example, we use the differential automatic line machining center for one-time molding, and the dimensional accuracy can be controlled within 0.005mm, which is equivalent to 1/10 of the diameter of a hair, which fundamentally guarantees the transmission stability of the drive axle.”The annual production capacity of the company's multiple production lines can reach 50,000 sets, which can fully meet the delivery needs of large-scale orders.
In terms of intelligent production, Shandong Lutong is at the forefront of the industry.The company has introduced a production execution system to realize the digital control of the whole process of drive axle production.Starting from the storage of raw materials, each component is given a unique “identity code”, which can track its processing progress, equipment information, operators and other data in real time.“Our intelligent production line can achieve 24-hour continuous operation, and the per capita output of a single production line is more than 2 times higher than that of traditional production lines."Digital management makes the production process more transparent and controllable, and it also provides customers with accurate order progress query services. This is also one of the important reasons for customer recognition in this exhibition.
If production strength is the “bones” of the product, then the quality inspection system is the “lifeline” of the product.Shandong Lutong has always penetrated quality control into every aspect of production, established a “triple quality inspection system” covering raw material inspection, process inspection, and finished product inspection, and set up an independent quality inspection center, equipped with more than 30 professional inspectors and more than 10 sets of testing equipment.“For every batch of steel, gears and other raw materials that enter the workshop, we must conduct chemical composition analysis and mechanical properties tests. Unqualified raw materials are resolutely returned. This is the first line of defense for quality control.”In the process inspection, a special person is responsible for the inspection after each processing process is completed, and a “double inspection” mechanism is also set up for key processes; the inspection of finished products is even more stringent. All drive axles must go through 12 testing items such as loading test, no-load test, noise test, and sealing performance test before leaving the factory. Among them, the construction machinery drive axles must also undergo fatigue life testing to simulate the use of extreme working conditions to ensure that the products meet the ISO9001 quality management system standards.
In recent years, with the in-depth promotion of the “Belt and Road” initiative, Shandong Lutong has actively expanded overseas markets. Its products have been exported to many countries and regions in Russia, Belarus and Iran, and its share in overseas markets has increased year by year.This appearance at the Indian Construction Machinery Exhibition not only enhanced the brand's popularity and influence in the South Asian market, but also injected new impetus into the development of the company's overseas business.The end is not the end, but a new beginning.Shandong Lutong will always adhere to the concept of “survival by quality and development by innovation”, continuously improve the production strength and product quality of the drive axle, and write a wonderful chapter of “Made in China” in the global drive axle market with better products, more efficient services, and better guarantees, and contribute to the development of the construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and mining machinery industries. China's strength.
