Why choose a loader?

Loaders and wheel loaders are two types of heavy equipment commonly used in construction, mining, and various material handling applications. Although the two machines have very similar uses, they have obvious differences and are suitable for specific jobs.

1. Structural differences
Loaders: usually have a more general structure, which may include core components such as the frame, engine, hydraulic transmission system, and working device, but not necessarily specific to their walking method.
Wheel loaders: Based on the loader, it has been improved, and a wheeled chassis has been added. This improvement makes the wheel loader have better maneuverability and adaptability to different terrains.

2. Working principle
Loaders: mainly control the rise, fall, tilt and other actions of the loading bucket through the hydraulic system to complete the loading and unloading of materials.
Wheel loaders: Although they also rely on the hydraulic system to control the movement of the loading bucket, they use more electronic control systems. By manipulating the handle, the operation, steering, lifting and other actions of the machine can be more accurately controlled.

3. Application scenarios
Loader: Due to the characteristics of its structure and working principle, the loader is more suitable for occasions that require a large amount of moving earth and stone, such as large-scale earth excavation, urban construction, highway construction, etc.
Wheel loader: Due to its advantages such as flexibility, low manufacturing cost, and convenient maintenance, it has more advantages in loading and unloading operations in places with smaller spaces such as urban or rural roads, yards, and logistics centers. In addition, wheel loaders are also more suitable for occasions that require frequent turns and small operating space, such as small construction sites and urban road cleaning.
4. Performance characteristics
Loader: It usually has the characteristics of fast operation speed, high efficiency, and easy operation. It is one of the main types of earth and stone construction in engineering construction.
Wheel loader: In addition to the basic performance characteristics of the loader, it also has better passability and adaptability to different terrains due to its wheeled chassis.

In summary, there are significant differences between loaders and wheel loaders in terms of structure, working principle, application scenarios, and performance characteristics. The choice of which equipment needs to be decided based on specific work needs and occasions.
