LeeBoy India Construction Equipment has launched their new series compact motor graders for India and other overseas developing markets. The new compact model LeeBoy motor grader 585 is fitted with a 10-ft moldboard and powered by 110 BHP engine developing 380 Nm torque.
Leeboy 585 has advance design features such as heavy-duty tandem axle, front axle leaning and oscillations, articulated frame structure, ZF power shift transmission, variable flow load sensing hydraulic system etc, compared to similar capacity models available in India. K. Sunil Kumar, President, Leeboy India, said:
“This compact grader is fully designed in India by our engineers and augurs well for ‘Make in India’ initiatives promoted by the Government of India. The compact design is highly suitable for small to medium road projects in villages and cities and also makes them a preferred choice of contractors for road projects like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Soyjna (PMGSY) etc. As highlighted by Mr. Hatim Shabbir, Director LeeBoy India, LeeBoy 585 offers 20% more productivity and 10% lower fuel consumption, compared to similar range of products in India.”
