Sunward Intelligent Visits Shandong Lutong to Explore In-Depth Cooperation in Drive Axle Solutions
Recently, a professional delegation from Sunward Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. (Sunward Intelligent) — a global leader in construction machinery, underground engineering equipment and complete mining equipment — paid an on-site visit to Shandong Lutong Heavy Industry Machinery Co., Ltd. (Shandong Lutong) for technical exchanges and in-depth negotiations on future supply cooperation for core transmission components. The two sides held comprehensive discussions on product matching, customized R&D, stability of mass supply, after-sales service systems and coordinated global market layout, laying a solid foundation for subsequent strategic alignment and long-term supporting cooperation.

Core Drive Axle Products Showcased During the Visit
During the inspection, Shandong Lutong fully displayed three core series of heavy-duty drive axles highly compatible with Sunward Intelligent’s mining engineering, construction machinery and aerial work equipment. These series perform exceptionally well under harsh working conditions and precisely meet the application requirements of various Sunward Intelligent equipment:
1. Mining Machinery Drive Axles
Shandong Lutong’s heavy-duty mining machinery drive axles are custom-designed for open-pit mines, underground mining vehicles and mining dump trucks. Featuring heavy-duty high-strength axle housings, high-strength gear transmissions and reinforced planetary reduction structures, they offer ultra-high load capacity, exceptional impact resistance and excellent dustproof and anti-corrosion performance. They adapt well to harsh mining environments with heavy loads, bumpy road conditions and high dust levels, effectively ensuring continuous and stable operation of mining equipment under extreme conditions and providing core transmission support for efficient mining operations.
2. Wet Drive Axles
The company’s independently developed wet drive axles adopt an integrated oil-immersed braking structure, with high braking torque, stable braking performance, low wear and long service life. The fully sealed design completely isolates dust, mud water and impurities, greatly reducing routine maintenance frequency. This series of drive axles is widely used in underground loaders, mining transport vehicles and heavy construction machinery, effectively solving industry pain points such as brake failure and high maintenance costs under continuous heavy-duty operation, and has attracted great attention from the delegation.
3. Telehandler Drive Axles
In response to the characteristics of telehandlers — flexible operation, frequent steering and multi-scenario application — Shandong Lutong’s customized telehandler drive axles integrate the advantages of compact structure, flexible differential adjustment and efficient power transmission. The optimized steering system and load-matching design meet flexible operation demands such as aerial loading and unloading, material handling and engineering hoisting, with strong adaptability to multi-terrain construction scenarios, achieving a high match with Sunward Intelligent’s telehandler products.
In-Depth Exchanges and Cooperation Prospects
The Sunward Intelligent delegation fully recognized Shandong Lutong’s technological strength, intelligent manufacturing capabilities, strict quality management system and rich supporting experience in the field of heavy-duty drive axles. Both sides conducted in-depth communication on core topics including customized product R&D, parameter optimization, mass supply cycles and the construction of a global supporting service system, focusing on the demand for high-performance drive axles across Sunward Intelligent’s full range of mining equipment, construction machinery and aerial work equipment.
Sunward Intelligent boasts a complete industrial layout covering complete mining equipment, excavators, underground construction machinery and aerial machinery, with a global market presence in more than 100 countries and regions including the Russian-speaking area, complementing Shandong Lutong’s global market layout. In the future, relying on its professional advantages in drive axle R&D and manufacturing, Shandong Lutong will explore multi-dimensional cooperation with Sunward Intelligent in customized supporting, joint technological upgrading and coordinated overseas market promotion, combined with Sunward Intelligent’s global equipment layout. Moving forward, Shandong Lutong Heavy Industry will continue to focus on technological innovation, constantly optimizing the performance of mining machinery drive axles, wet drive axles and telehandler drive axles, and enhancing intelligent production capacity and global service systems. The company is committed to becoming a reliable core component partner for world-leading construction machinery enterprises, empowering the high-quality development of the global heavy machinery industry with professional drive axle solutions.
