Loaders are heavy construction machines
which are used to move materials like rock, sand, wood-chips, recycled
materials, etc. at planning site, digging site or road construction site. They
look like tractors and have a bucket connected with arms. These arms are used
to loosen the materials before they can be picked up for transportation.
Types
of Loaders
1.
Wheeled Loader- It has a front-mounted
square wide bucket which is connected with the two ends of booms. The bucket
and booms enable the machine to extract out loose materials from the ground
like sand, dirt or gravel. Wheel loaders are used to transfer materials from
ground level to an open truck or dump truck for excavation. Due to the
articulated chassis, these machines are ideal for use in much-squeezed
locations.
2.
Track Loader- This loader is engineered
with a tracked chassis and a loader and is useful in digging and loading
materials. It utilizes hydrostatic transmission and electro-hydraulic controls
to operate. The hydraulic system boosts the power of the loading system, and
hence, these machines can dig hard grounds and can apply the same pressure on
the bucket. It is the most common machine used by construction companies.
3.
Skid Steer Loader- It is considered as
all-purpose machinery for construction jobs. It has two versions- crawler
loader and a four-wheel drive skid steer loader. Skid steers contain multiple
attachments which enable them to perform the operations of a snow blower,
mower, bulldozer or a forklift in a few minutes. This machine eliminates the
need for individual machines as it can be converted and used in several ways.
Skid steers possess a torque output of 40-100 horsepower, and their selling
prices depend on their capacity.
4.
Backhoe Loader- It is also known as a
loader backhoe or the digger. It is a heavy duty electromechanical machine
which has a shovel attached in the front and a small back-hoe in its back. It
is relatively compact and is generally used in small construction projects like
building small houses or fixing urban roads. These machines are used in paving
roads, landscaping, digging holes/excavations, transportation of lightweight
materials, small demolitions, power building equipment, etc.
