What the specifications mean
The cited rehandling bucket and hook-on coupler establish the example. They must stay attached to its length, pin height and tipping-load interpretation.

Alternatives worth comparing
These are research paths, not interchangeable configurations or a ranked winner.Caterpillar 950 Wheel Loader
Its published overall length explicitly excludes the bucket, unlike several alternatives. Use a confirmed bucket-included transport measurement before arranging a haul.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used L120H inspection priorities
- Inspect coupler locks, linkage pins, bucket structure and articulation; verify the actual tires and tool mounting.
- Record the exact serial/PIN, installed options and inspection limitations. These are purchase inspection priorities, not claims of a model-specific failure pattern.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Model the full loading system and wear components. A full-turn static tipping-load value is not a universal allowable payload.
- Use the ownership calculator with quoted repairs, actual scheduled hours, utilization and transport costs; leave unknown assumptions visible.

Attachment considerations
Relationships below identify relevant classes only unless a stronger evidence state is shown. They never assert exact used-attachment fitment.
Loader buckets, forks and grapples
Verify coupler interface, attachment weight, load centre, hydraulics.
Open attachment researchBefore confirming fitment
- generation and machine configuration
- mounting interface, coupler or pin geometry
- hydraulic flow, pressure, return and case drain
- attachment weight and machine capacity limits
- electrical controls or required machine options
Model-reference transport profile
Transport reference
Reference measurements retain their configuration and verification status. Confirm the actual transport setup before booking.
Reference specifications can differ from the actual configured machine. Confirm dimensions and weight before booking transportation.
Confirm or replace before a transport request
- actual weight
- actual travel length, width and height
- attachments and removable work tools
- bucket, blade, carriage or boom position
- loading condition
