Caterpillar 972 vs LiuGong 890H
The LiuGong 890H is about 20% heavier than the Caterpillar 972 (30,000 vs 25,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and LiuGong in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
