![]() ![]() Ever see a dump truck full of rocks and wonder how they got them in the dump truck in the first place? It is not called a pickup truck, after all. Wheel loaders are capable of moving the material from point A to B on their own, but they also synergize with other common construction machines. ![]() A trained operator uses a system of levers to operate the hydraulics of the wheel loader, enabling it to pick up fine materials such as sand, soil, and in some cases water. Whereas the bulldozer specializes in pushing and demolition, the wheel loader focuses on carrying and construction. Both are tractors that have a bucket in the front to help the tractor deal with objects. The wheel loader is very similar to its cousin, the bulldozer. Whereas small loader tractors are often also equipped with a small backhoe and are called backhoe loaders or loader backhoes or JCBs, after the company that first claimed to have invented them. Large wheel loaders, such as the Kawasaki 95ZV-2, John Deere 844K, ACR 700K Compact Wheel Loader, Caterpillar 950H, Volvo L120E, Case 921E, or Hitachi ZW310 usually have only a front bucket and are called front loaders. ![]() The bucket can also be augmented with devices like a bale grappler for handling large bales of hay or straw. For example, many can mount forks to lift heavy pallets or shipping containers, and a hydraulically opening “clamshell” bucket allows a loader to act as a light dozer or scraper. Often the bucket can be replaced with other devices or tools. The loader assembly may be a removable attachment or permanently mounted. ![]() A loader is a type of tractor, usually wheeled ( wheel loader), sometimes on tracks (track loader), that has a front-mounted wide bucket connected to the end of two booms (arms) to scoop up loose material from the ground, such as dirt, sand, or gravel, and move it from one place to another without pushing the material across the ground.Ī loader is commonly used to move a stockpiled material from ground level and deposit it into an awaiting dump truck or into an open trench excavation. ![]()
