Golden Shipping & Trading operates three LG958L and three L933 wheeled loaders at Visakhapatnam Port in Andhra Pradesh, which load and unload cargo including material from local quarries.

Koraganji commented on the L958F: "Its cooling system has optimised inlet and outlet air channels that provide high cooling efficiency — a feature that is highly useful to boost operator comfort in the Indian heat.

The LG958L and L933 have been on site since 2017. The 5 t rated LG958L is used for high stacking and loading dumpers and rakes. The 3 t rated L933 is mainly used for loading dumpers. Working between eight to ten hours a day, the wheeled loaders transport between 1,000 to 1,500 tons of materials daily and are expected to remain on site for another five years.
Established in 2016, Golden Shipping & Trading is headquartered in Andhra Pradesh with branches at major ports in India. It purchased all its SDLG wheeled loaders from Asha Automine, SDLG’s distributor in Visakhapatnam, India.
