Where Can Wheel Loaders Be Used ?

Wheel loaders are also known as front loaders, and these are heavy-duty machines that are typically used to load other equipment or materials using a bucket. Here's a guide to what you should know about wheel loaders before buying one for your project.

What is a wheel loader?

Wheel loaders are known by many names, such as front-end loaders, front-end loaders, wheel loaders, bucket loaders, shovel loaders and dump loaders. A wheel loader is a heavy-duty piece of equipment that is typically used on construction projects and building sites. A wheel loader uses an arm to raise and lower its bucket, and a crank to open and close its bucket. A wheel loader can lift almost anything, such as debris, gravel, dirt, mud, pallets, etc. Because it uses wheels, it offers better maneuverability on the road and does not cause any damage to asphalt or concrete. Attachments are also available to make it suitable for any type of project you have.

Wheel loader applications

Wheel loaders are machines with great power and durability and most construction sites use them to get a number of tasks done quickly. These machines can dig, haul, carry and transport. Wheel loaders can also be used to help build roads, prepare job sites and assist with cleanup after completing a project.

Slag handling

Usually found in steel mills. Slag handling loaders are among the most robust loaders available. Typically used in one of the most dangerous environments for machines and operators, handling high temperatures, dust and toxic fumes. These loaders provide insulation and thermal protection to complete these projects.

Reprocessing

These loaders offer maximum productivity and are designed to transport large amounts of material to minimize loading cycles. This loader makes projects more convenient and time-saving.
