These lines include a full array of construction equipment and specialized machines such as materials handling equipment and mobilized cranes.[10] Today, LiuGong offers 19 different product lines.[2]

In February 2012 LiuGong acquired Huta Stalowa Wola construction machines division and Dressta Co, Ltd. in Stalowa Wola, Poland.
