Loader machines are designed primarily to tackle large volume materials repetitively. The front bucket configuration aids operators in scooping, lifting, and moving materials with little cycle time associated with transport. Wheel loaders are primarily suited for applications where speed and mobility are needed over hard surfaces. Track loaders are designed for improved traction/stability when operating on soft or unlevel ground.
Modern wheeled loader designs utilize hydraulic systems data to provide continual lifting performance and improved operator control. Operator's stations have safety, comfort, and visibility features, with easy-to-use ergonomic controls and protective enclosures. Quick attach kit systems enable operators to quickly change attachments, enabling operators to perform many different tasks.
