Q: How much does a wheel loader weigh?

The weight of a wheel loader varies significantly by size and model. Compact loaders may weigh around 5-7 tons, mid-sized models between 15-20 tons, and large production loaders can exceed 50 tons, designed for heavy-duty mining or quarry applications. Check out various high-performance wheel loaders at SANY and choose the right one according to your applications.

Q: How to calculate wheel load?

The wheel load is calculated by dividing the total machine weight plus payload by the number of wheels supporting the load. For example, a 20-ton loader carrying 5 tons (total 25 tons) with four wheels has a wheel load of 6.25 tons per wheel.

Q: What does a wheel loader do?

A wheel loader is a heavy machine primarily used to scoop, lift, and transport materials like soil, gravel, sand, or debris. It’s essential for construction, mining, agriculture, and roadwork projects, excelling in tasks like stockpiling, loading trucks, site cleanup, and material handling.

Q: What are the different parts of a wheel loader?

Key components of a wheel loader include: - Engine: Provides the power to operate the machine. - Transmission and drivetrain: Transfers power to the wheels. - Hydraulic system: Controls lifting, tilting, and steering functions. - Bucket and lift arms: The primary tools for scooping and carrying material. - Cab: The operator’s area, designed with visibility and comfort. - Tires/wheels: Large, durable wheels for stability and traction. - Counterweight: Helps balance the machine during heavy lifts.
