What are the benefits of using a wheel loader?

1. High capacity in carrying loads. The carrying job is done by operating the bucket which is either located at the front or back of the vehicle. This bucket can move up and down, depending on the requirement. Capacities also differ according to classes, but wheel loaders generally have high capacities.

2. Versatility in different applications.Aside from earthmoving purposes, wheel loaders are versatile equipment that can be used in different applications. With the option for different attachments, you can change the default bucket into blades, augers, backhoes, hammers, and rakes being some of the choices.

3. Ease of operation.Compared to an excavator, a wheel loader is easier to operate. This is attributed to the fact that the latter has more mobility, which makes it easier for an operator to move from place to place. Attachments are also easier to use on a wheel loader, but with an excavator, you need to use an auxiliary line. All of this reduces the time needed for training.

4. Reduced operating costs.Because of the ease of operation compared to other machinery, a wheel loader requires less training costs. It also makes the tasks in a job site faster to complete, with less manpower needed to manually carry heavy loads. This leads to fewer days spent on a project, with fewer costs on human resources.

5. Options for different sizes.Generally, a wheel loader is available in different classes. It can be classified into compact, small, medium, and large. The lighter ones have the advantage of mobility and maneuverability in small spaces while the bigger models can handle heavier industrial loads.

6. Low maintenance.Because of the advancements in technology, newer wheel loaders now reduce human error and last longer. It also has a slower depreciating time compared to an excavator. Depending on the size of your wheel loader, the maintenance procedures may differ.
