Features and Specifications
Considering the features and specifications of a wheel loader before purchasing is essential, ensuring you select the suitable machine for your needs and maximizing your productivity and profitability.
Hydraulic Flow
The hydraulic flow refers to the amount of hydraulic fluid that can be transferred to the loader’s hydraulic system, which powers various functions, such as the loader arm and bucket. The hydraulic flow is typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and a higher flow rate allows for faster and more powerful hydraulic operations.
Load Capacity
The load capacity is the maximum weight of materials the loader can safely carry in its bucket. The load capacity of a wheel loader is influenced by several factors, including the machine’s size, the strength of its frame, and the lifting capacity of its hydraulic system.
Lift Height
The lift height of a wheel loader is the maximum height to which it can raise its bucket. The loader arms’ length, the loader boom’s size, and the hydraulic system’s lifting capacity determine the lift height. The lift height is an important factor to consider when working in areas with limited overhead clearance.
Linkage Configuration
The linkage configuration of a wheel loader refers to the mechanical linkage that connects the loader’s hydraulic system to its bucket or other attachments. There are two main types of linkage configurations: Z-bar and parallel. The Z-bar linkage provides high breakout force and good bucket roll-back, while the parallel link offers superior visibility and precise control of the bucket.
Rigid or Articulated
The choice between a rigid or articulated wheel loader depends on the specific application. Rigid wheel loaders have a fixed frame and are better suited for applications requiring high stability and power, such as mining and heavy construction. Articulated wheel loaders have a pivot point between the front and rear frames, allowing excellent maneuverability in tight spaces and better traction on uneven terrain.
