How to choose a wheel loader

Q1: The main job I need a loader to do is loading and unloading grain. What model should I choose?

A1: When we choose a suitable loader for ourselves, the first thing that comes to mind is what kind of work we want to do with the loader. For example, the customer's proposal for grain loading and unloading is one of the common work sites for Laigong loaders.

The characteristic of loading and unloading grain is that the content-grain-requires a large capacity and volume, and usually, the density is not very high. Therefore, when choosing a loader, the first thing we should determine is whether the loader's model has enough capacity to load and unload grain or whether the loader can be modified to be more suitable for loading and unloading grain under the same model.

We conclude that the required bucket capacity should be selected based on the required workload, such as 1.5 cubic buckets or 1 cubic bucket. Then select the load capacity based on the density of the contents (the weight of the next bucket in that volume), such as 1 ton or 2 tons. Finally, based on the most cost-effective solution, choose whether to use an enlarged grain hopper to match the small load situation and load as much grain volume as possible.

Therefore, when choosing a Laigong loader, one can choose whether to modify the grain hopper according to the different contents.

Q2: Can your loader work at the stone factory, and is the degree of tire wear significant?

A2: Laigong loader can adapt to the vast majority of working conditions.

Firstly, the characteristic of stone is its high density, so the Laigong loader is equipped with a large load capacity and engineering bucket, which is fully compatible with the working conditions of the stone factory.

We all know that stone factories are responsible for the environment and have many small and sharp stones that can easily scratch the tires. Therefore, we need tire models that are more sturdy, durable, and less likely to damage the inner tube. For this situation, I recommend using semi-solid or fully solid tires.

Firstly, there are semi-solid tires, which have deep tread patterns and thick rubber structures. Ordinary stones cannot easily damage the inner tube, and they can also have a strong grip on rough roads. Next is the fully solid tire, which completely abandons the inflatable structure and eliminates the occurrence of tire puncture and leakage. It is more suitable for working in extreme working conditions, such as stone and steel plants.

Therefore, when choosing a Laigong loader, it is possible to choose whether to equip it with semi-solid tires or fully solid tires according to different working conditions.

Q3: I want a loader with a wood gripper. Do you have one?

A3: Laigong loader can be equipped with various accessories with different functions, including but not limited to wood grabber, grass grabber, pallet fork, floor sweeper, snowplow, bulldozer, and snow sweeper .....

Different accessories can be selected according to your different needs, and there are also multifunctional four in one buckets and six in one buckets that can meet various work requirements. Quick change devices can also be selected to complete accessory replacement without getting off the car.

Q4: How high can your loader lift goods? I need a discharge height of over 3.5 meters. Can you reach it?

A4: Laigong loaders of different models have different unloading heights, spanning from 2.5 meters to 4.6 meters, with special customization for unloading heights of over 5 meters

Based on your requirements, I recommend choosing a vehicle with an unloading height of 3.6 meters or more, or selecting an extended arm to meet your needs.

Of course, please note that a high unloading height requires longer arms, which may slightly reduce the load capacity of the loader when the lifting height is too high.

Q5: Are your loaders electric loaders and do they meet emission standards?

A5: Laigong loaders are mainly diesel loaders, equipped with diesel engines and using diesel as energy source.

According to different countries' environmental and emission requirements, we offer different engines for you to choose from, such as the Euro V emission standard required by Europe; The fourth stage emission standard in the United States, namely EPA4.

Laigong loader has multiple patents and complete international certifications: it has passed CE, ISO 9001, SGS carbon footprint and other certifications, fully meeting market access requirements in Europe, America, the Middle East and other regions.

In terms of structural design, composite action control and intelligent power matching are adopted. The lifting and walking actions are separately disassembled, and the hydraulic circuit is controlled separately. When the dual actions are parallel, fuel consumption is significantly reduced. EUC intelligently adjusts the fuel injection amount of the engine nozzle according to the bucket load, reduces the speed under light load, and instantly bursts torque under heavy load, avoiding power waste

Q6: How is the power of Laigong loader?

A6: In terms of engine, Laigong loader is equipped with multiple models of engines ranging from 37KW to 92KW, covering all power ranges from 50 horsepower to 125 horsepower.

In terms of transmission system, Laigong loaders are divided into regular and static hydraulic models.

The regular loader adopts the traditional transmission method - engine torque converter gearbox drive shaft axle tires. The engine serves as the power source and transmits power to the gearbox through a customized torque converter from Laigong. The customized torque converter used has a large output torque and can maintain a high-efficiency torque range of over 85% for efficient energy utilization.

The gearbox adopts multi-mode planetary gear power shifting, and can also continuously output power during shifting.

The transmission shaft has undergone laser welding technology and surface strengthening treatment to enhance its wear resistance and ensure strong power output. It has also passed fatigue verification and is suitable for long-term operation under heavy load conditions.

Integrated axle, precision CNC machining, super strong load-bearing capacity. Oil bath lubrication and labyrinth seal significantly reduce maintenance costs.

Q7: Are you equipped with security features? How is the comfort level?

A7: Laigong loader is equipped with a high-strength skeleton structure anti roll cab, ensuring effective maintenance of driver safety in extreme situations.

Panoramic glass design effectively reduces blind spots by 30% compared to traditional loading machines, making it easy to observe the working environment and personnel dynamics.

Equipped with a reversing buzzer and hazard warning lights, it can automatically trigger an alarm when reversing or turning, indicating work risks. In addition, a reversing camera and high-definition camera can be installed for easy observation of blind spots.

The low center of gravity layout of the entire vehicle has been optimized for gravity, making it more stable and safe compared to traditional loaders during operation.

In terms of comfort, the Laigong loader adopts an adjustable dashboard, which provides a larger interior space in the cab; Luxury airline seats and a comprehensive shock absorption system ensure that you will not feel tired even after prolonged work; Human computer interaction optimization, one click access to commonly used functions, ergonomic joystick and driving style, easy to operate; Low noise enclosed cab, greatly reducing noise during idle. Multiple intelligent control systems such as air conditioning, reversing camera, electronic weighing system, etc. can also be optionally selected.
