LIUGONG excavators have completed months of continuous operation at a high-altitude mining site in Kyrgyzstan's Batken region, demonstrating reliable performance in one of Central Asia's most demanding environments. The site sits at approximately 4,000 meters above sea level, where steep terrain, frozen ground, and freezing winds present severe challenges to heavy equipment.

The machines have operated without major downtime, while LIUGONG's local service team maintained uninterrupted support throughout the deployment. Local operators and project managers cited the equipment's robust performance in the extreme conditions, according to industry reports.

The Kyrgyzstan deployment reflects LIUGONG's broader overseas momentum. The company's overseas revenue reached RMB 10.455 billion in the first half of 2026, up 22.66% year-on-year, with sales in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region both growing more than 30%. LIUGONG has also established a local subsidiary in Kyrgyzstan and deployed service personnel to support equipment operations at high-altitude sites, including the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project.

The high-altitude mining application underscores the growing presence of Chinese construction equipment in Central Asia's mining and infrastructure sectors, where equipment reliability under extreme conditions is a decisive factor for project operators.
