Years of production experience at home and abroad have proven that wheel loaders are suitable for the following tasks:
1. Used for loading, discharging, lifting, and hauling operations in open-pit mine development and stripping, railway foundation construction, and road construction.
2. Used in small and medium-sized open-pit mines as the primary mining, loading, and hauling equipment, replacing excavators and trucks. They can operate in conjunction with trucks and also load ore and rock to crushing plants.
3. In some large open-pit mines, they can be used in conjunction with excavators to perform mining, loading, and other auxiliary operations under complex conditions (such as selective mining, working face end, blast pile dispersion, trench excavation, etc.).
4. Used for combined mining, loading, and hauling operations on steep working surfaces to complete challenging ore removal tasks.
The common tire-type and crawler-type front loaders each have their own advantages. While crawler-type front loaders offer greater traction and digging force, and better off-road and climbing performance, they are slow and inflexible, and sometimes require a trailer for relocation, resulting in higher construction costs. Therefore, crawler front loaders are rarely used in open-pit mines. The most commonly used in mines around the world are wheel loaders, so they are produced in large quantities and their manufacturing technology is developing rapidly. The bucket capacity of the largest model has reached 40m3.
