Shantui L36-B5 3 Ton Wheel Loader with 1.7m³ Bucket Tier 2 Diesel Engine

Shantui L36-B5 – 3 Ton Wheel Loader with 1.7m³ Bucket (Tier 2 Diesel Engine)

Product Overview

The Shantui L36-B5 is a compact yet powerful 3‑ton class wheel loader designed for material handling, construction, mining, and agricultural applications. Built by Shantui Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.—one of China's leading construction equipment manufacturers—the L36-B5 combines a Tier 2 diesel engine with a 1.7m³ standard bucket, offering robust performance in a maneuverable footprint.

The China II (Tier 2 equivalent) emission compliant engine is factory‑optimized for Shantui, delivering reliable power while accepting lower‑grade diesel fuel—making it ideal for markets where fuel quality varies and Tier 4 / Stage V regulations are not required. The loader features a hydrostatic transmission, articulated hydraulic steering, and an ergonomic cab designed for operator comfort and all‑day productivity. Available in left‑hand drive (LHD) as standard (RHD on request).

Made in China — proven reliability, easy maintenance, and competitive pricing.

Key Specifications

⚠️ *Specifications are based on available data for L36-B5 and L36-C3 platforms. Actual unit may vary slightly. Request official datasheet for exact specifications.*

Key Features & Advantages

• Tier 2 Diesel Engine (China II Compliant) – The engine is factory‑customized by Shantui, featuring high reliability, low fuel consumption, and straightforward electronic controls. Tier 2 compliance means no DPF or SCR systems to maintain—ideal for remote sites and markets where Tier 3/4 fuel is unavailable. The engine runs efficiently on lower‑grade diesel commonly found in developing regions.

• Proven Shantui‑Weichai Powertrain – The L36-B5 is equipped with a Weichai low‑speed energy‑saving engine, optimally matched with Shantui's self‑developed torque converter and fixed‑shaft transmission. This "golden core" drivetrain delivers high traction force, excellent pile penetration, and smooth load start‑up—even in 3rd gear.

• 1.7m³ Versatile Bucket – The standard bucket is sized for aggregate, sand, soil, and general construction materials. Optional buckets (rock bucket, light material bucket, 4‑in‑1 bucket, etc.) and attachments (forks, log grapples, grass trimmers, snow blade) are available for specialized applications.

• Hydrostatic Transmission – Provides smooth, stepless speed control, reduces operator fatigue, and optimizes fuel efficiency across varying load conditions.

• Articulated Steering (35° Angle) – Tight turning radius (approx. 5.5m) allows the loader to work efficiently in confined job sites such as warehouses, alleys, and small quarries.

• Operator‑Friendly Cab – The enclosed cab features wide visibility, ergonomic control layout, and optional air conditioning. The tiltable cab design provides easy access to engine and hydraulic components for routine maintenance.

• Easy Serviceability – Wide‑opening side guards, centrally grouped filters (air, diesel, oil, transmission), and easily accessible lubrication points reduce downtime. All major wear parts are Shantui‑standard, widely available through the global dealer network.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is the engine truly Tier 2 compliant? What does that mean for import?
A: Yes. The L36-B5 is equipped with a Tier 2 (China II) diesel engine. This emission standard is still accepted in many countries across Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Unlike Tier 4 or Stage V engines, Tier 2 engines do not require DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems, making them simpler, more reliable, and cheaper to maintain. Please confirm your local import emission regulations before ordering — we also have Tier 3 and Tier 4 versions available on request.

Q2: Does the L36-B5 use a Weichai engine?
A: Yes. The L36-B5 is powered by a Weichai diesel engine, factory‑customized specifically for Shantui. Weichai is China's leading heavy‑duty engine manufacturer and a sister company under Shandong Heavy Industry Group. engines are used in this machine.

Q3: What is the actual bucket capacity? Is 1.7m³ correct?
A: The 1.7m³ bucket is standard for the L36-B5, designed for general purpose materials such as sand, soil, and aggregate. The machine can also be equipped with buckets ranging from 1.5m³ (rock bucket) to 2.2m³ (light material bucket). Please specify your material density when ordering.

Q4: What is the price for a new Shantui L36-B5?
A: New unit FOB China main port (Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin) ranges from approximately USD 23,000 – 30,000, depending on configuration (bucket type, tires, A/C, warranty extension). Used units start from USD 20,000 – 27,000 depending on age and hours. A stock listing from Xiamen, China shows the L36-B5 priced around USD 20,000 – 27,000 (used / promotional units).

Q5: Is right‑hand drive (RHD) available?
A: The L36-B5 is manufactured as left‑hand drive (LHD) as standard. RHD configuration is available on request with extended lead time (approx. 4–6 weeks). Please inquire for RHD availability and pricing.

Q6: What is the fuel consumption?
A: Under standard working conditions (loading sand/gravel), fuel consumption is approximately 12–16 L/hour. The Weichai low‑speed energy‑saving engine is optimized for fuel efficiency in loader applications.

Q7: Do you provide spare parts?
A: Yes. We stock genuine Shantui and Weichai parts — filters, engine components, hydraulic seals, tires, buckets, and more. For bulk orders (3+ units), we include a starter parts kit. Shantui has a global dealer network covering over 160 countries and territories.

Q8: How is the loader shipped?
A: The L36-B5 is typically shipped in a 40‑foot flat rack or open‑top container, partially disassembled (bucket removed). RORO shipping is not available for wheel loaders due to their size. Main ports: Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, Guangzhou. Transit time: 25–45 days.

Q9: What documents do you provide for customs?
A: We provide: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, Certificate of Origin ("Made in China"), export customs declaration, engine/chassis number verification, and Tier 2 / Euro compliance statement (if required).

Q10: Do you offer warranty on new loaders?
A: Yes. Standard warranty: 12 months or 2,000 operating hours on major components (engine, transmission, hydraulic system). Extended warranty options available.

Q11: Can I inspect the loader before buying?
A: Yes. We provide factory production photos, pre‑delivery inspection videos, and live video walkaround via WhatsApp / WeChat. You are also welcome to visit our facility in Shandong Province (Shantui headquarters).

Q12: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: 1 unit is acceptable. Volume discounts available for 3, 5, 10+ units.

Q13: How long from order to delivery?
