The three main types of loaders in the construction industry are wheel loaders, skid steer loaders and crawler loaders. The specific introduction to these three types is as follows:

Wheel Loader


  • Characteristics: They are composed of an engine, transmission system, travel mechanism, hydraulic system, and operator's cab. They have the advantages of strong mobility, large loading capacity, high productivity, fuel efficiency, and operator comfort.

  • Applications: Commonly used for loading and short-distance transportation of loose materials, such as soil, gravel, and sand. They are widely used in various construction sites, mines, ports and other places, and are very suitable for operations that require quic material handling and large workloads.

Skid Steer Loader


  • Characteristics: They are compact in size and can turn in place. The operator controls the loader using joysticks, and the loader turns by varying the speed of the wheels on each side, with a skidding movement. They can be quickly equipped with various work devices to adapt to different work environments.

  • Applications: They are very suitable for operation in confined spaces, such as urban infrastructure, roads, construction sites, and factory workshops. They can be used for digging, grading, and moving materials with ease and efficiency, and are widely used in landscaping, demolition and other projects.

Crawler Loader


  • Characteristics: The track design helps evenly distribute the equipment's weight across a large part of the ground, allowing it to travel more easily over terrains such as snow and mud without sinking. It has less impact on the ground surface, and its ground pressure is small, so it has good trafficability on soft ground.

  • Applications: It is very suitable for working on soft or uneven ground, such as wetlands, muddy areas, and mountainous areas. It is often used in large-scale construction projects, mines and other places, and can complete tasks such as demolition, trenching and road construction.
