Where to find it
- Wheel loaders: the VIN plate is on the curb side of the machine behind the front fender, with the full 17-character VIN stamped into the frame just below the plate.
- Mini excavators: the VIN is at the top of the knuckle-boom joint, near the bottom of the boom arm. The exact spot shifts slightly by machine size, but it stays near the base of the boom.
Confirm the plate matches the stamped number.
How the format works
LiuGong uses a 17-character VIN built to the international standard. On a standard 17-character PIN the tenth character encodes the model year, and the plate is the most direct source for the year.
MachVerity reads the model year from a standard 17-character PIN automatically.
Confirming the exact year and model
To confirm the exact model, specification and build details, give the full 17-character VIN to an authorized LiuGong dealer.
