Loaders

KOMATSU WA500-6, WA80

Loaders are heavy machinery used to move materials such as dirt, sand, gravel, and snow. They are widely used in construction sites due to their ability to quickly lift and transport large amounts of material with minimal manpower.

Loaders consist of a wheeled or tracked platform fitted with a hydraulically operated bucket or scoop. They are available in various sizes, lift capacities, and features to suit different needs.

Types of Loaders

There are several types of loaders used in construction, mining, and other industries. These include the following:

• Skid Steer Loader: Characterized by its small size and maneuverability, each side's front and back wheels are connected and can move at different speeds. As a result, it can turn in place, making it well-suited for tight spaces and challenging terrain.
• Compact Track Loader: larger than the skid steer loader, it is designed to carry heavier loads. Typically equipped with a single front-mounted bucket, it can also be fitted with additional attachments. It is mounted on tracks providing increased traction.
• Wheel Loader: larger than a compact loader, it is well-suited for lifting and transferring larger quantities of material, such as gravel, sand, and soil.
• Tracked Loader: identical to the wheel loader, but with tracks instead of wheels. It is used on rugged terrain and soft surfaces where wheels can't provide the necessary grip.

Common Brands of Loaders

There are a variety of loader brands available, including:

• Caterpillar
• JCB
• Komatsu
