Choosing wheel loaders for the job

Bucket size must suit material density, tipping load and truck height. Buyers should consider breakout force, dump clearance, coupler system, tire cost and whether the machine will spend more time loading, carrying or handling forks.

Machine types and configurations

  • Compact
  • Small
  • Mid-size
  • Large production
  • High-lift and waste-handler configurations

Specifications that matter

SpecificationWhy it matters
Operating weightDefines machine class, transport exposure and stability context.
HorsepowerCompare the same power rating standard and the demands of the intended work.
Bucket capacityMust suit the material, work envelope, machine geometry and configuration.
Breakout forceCompare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Tipping loadMust be read with the applicable configuration, stability limits and duty.
Dump clearanceCompare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Tire size and conditionAffects traction, flotation, wear cost, width and transport.

Before buying used

  • Check centre articulation and steering play
  • Inspect tires for matched size, cuts and remaining life
  • Load the hydraulics and inspect lift-arm, bucket and coupler pins
Ownership costs to consider

Cost drivers

  • Matched tire sets
  • Centre articulation and steering
  • Axles and driveline
  • Lift-arm, bucket and coupler joints
Plan your transport

Transport checklist

  • Measure width at tires or guards
  • Confirm bucket-on or bucket-off dimensions
  • Account for ballast and counterweight
  • Describe loading ramps and site surfaces
