For loaders above 2.5 tons, Raiso offers both mining and standard variants to suit different working conditions.The core distinctions between mining loaders and standard wheel loaders lie in structural strength, environmental adaptability, and functional specialization. Below is a detailed comparison:

2. Power & Load Capacity  

- Engine

  Mining: High-torque customized,optimized for extreme conditions  

  Standard: Typical power range,no special adaptations  

- Payload  

  - Mining: Starts at 3 tons (up to 35 tons)

 - Standard: Typically 3-8 tons  

4. Maintenance Cost Comparison

- Mining Loaders

  - Shorter service intervals (e.g., 250-hour hydraulic fluid changes)  

  - Parts cost 30-50% higher (but longer lifespan)  

- Standard Loaders

  - Regular intervals (500 hours)  

  - Lower part costs but higher replacement frequency  

5. Typical Applications  

- Mining Loaders

  ✔️ Loading blasted rock in open-pit mines  

  ✔️ Handling corrosive ores  

  ✔️ 24/7 continuous operation  

- Standard Loaders

  ✔️ Material handling in quarries  

  ✔️ Urban construction short-haul  

  ✔️ 8-hour intermittent shifts

Industry Recommendations  

Key selection criteria for mining loaders:  

1. Tier 4 Final compliance (if operating in regulated zones)  

2. Ore hardness (≥6 Months requires reinforced bucket edges)

3. Haul distance (＞500m recommends automatic transmission)
