Operating Weight
The operating weight of a compact wheel loader is the total weight of the machine, including the chassis, engine, and attachments. This specification is essential for assessing the stability and maneuverability of the loader.
Horsepower
Horsepower (HP) measures the engine's power output. It determines the loader's ability to perform tasks efficiently, such as digging, lifting, and pushing materials.
Static Tipping Load
The static tipping load is the maximum weight that the loader can safely lift without tipping over. This specification is critical for ensuring operator safety and determining the loader's lifting capacity.
Loader's Breakout Force
Breakout force is the force exerted by the loader's bucket or attachment to penetrate and break through hard or compacted materials. It indicates the loader's ability to handle tough digging or material extraction tasks.
Application
Understanding the intended application of the compact wheel loader is essential. Different loaders may have specific features or design elements that make them more suitable for particular applications, such as construction, landscaping, agriculture, or snow removal.
