Easy Operation, Low Operating Cost

The SEM676D provides best operator comfort by:

  • A molded cab offers a larger space and excellent visibility for the operator. 
  • Improved ventilation is achieved with fresh air pressurization.
  • Pilot control features a FNR (Forward-Neutral- Reverse) controller and KD (Kick Down) button for easier operation.
  • 2nd-4th automatic gearshift and E-control automatic leveling function improve operating efficiency and comfort. 
  • Large displacement coaxial flow steering unit enables better maneuverability. 

We help our customers to lower operating costs and improve productivity by:

  • The SEM676D wheel loader features two engine operating modes to match the machine to jobsite conditions. Combined with higher digging forces and SEM Performance Series bucket, the SEM676D loads more material for higher productivity. 
  • Single load sensing hydraulic system supplies flow and pressure only when required, which improve fuel efficiency. 
  • Separate oil supplies for transmission and torque convertor with proven split pump technology, resulting in more fuel savings. 
  • Simple and reliable powertrain design ensures low customer owning and operating cost.

Ease of Maintenance

The SEM676D is designed for ease of serviceability:

  • Centralized lubrication points and optional automatic lubrication system help reduce maintenance time. 
  • Wide angle engine hood offers quick and convenient access to the maintenance and service points.
  • Pressure test ports facilitate easy diagnosis and oil sampling. 
  • Long-span articulation design ensures ease of maintenance without additional space requirement on site.
  • A 330L super-large fuel tank extends operating hours before refueling. 

Operational Safety

The SEM676D is designed with operational safety for the operators in mind:

  • Ergonomically placed grab rails, handles and footsteps allow the operator to have three-point contact for safe entry and exit from the machine. 
  • Optional rear camera is equipped to enhance visibility.
  • Gear lock ensures that machine can only be started when it is in neutral. 
  • Dual-circuit brake system and optional brake dryer improve machine safety. 
  • Maintenance-free battery, backup alarm and beacon light ensure operator’s safety.
  • Six front and four rear brake calipers deliver excellent braking performance and reduce risk of overheating.
