Wheel Loader

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

A wheel loader is a four-wheeled machine used for earthmoving. Generally, it features a front-mounted bucket designed to scoop, hold and transport loosely packed materials, such as sand, dirt, and pulverized minerals. This machine may also be called a skip loader, scoop loader, or even a bucket loader.

Wheel loaders work with the aid of a mechanized lift-arm that moves that bucket higher or lower, depending on the needs and inputs of the operator. Furthermore, depending on the carrying capacity of the front-mounted bucket and the engine horsepower, a wheel loader will be categorized among one of four classes. These classes are usually referred to as compact, small horsepower, medium horsepower, and large horsepower.

Wheel loaders can be used to complete tasks in virtually any industry that deals with heavy loads. Logging, carpentry, construction, quarrying, and demolition are just a few of the many sectors that may rely on wheel loaders for daily work.

In the construction industry, in particular, wheel loaders are an excellent tool for removing debris and waste from a build site. From soil to sand to bricks and stones, the loader facilitates countless processes in material transportation and excess material removal.
