I. Define Your Needs: Start with Rated Load Capacity

The first step in selecting a wheel loader is determining the required tonnage, i.e., the rated load capacity, which determines the machine's operational carrying capability. Choosing one that is too large leads to equipment underutilization and fuel waste; choosing one that is too small will fail to meet workload demands and may even delay projects.

1-2 Ton Small Wheel Loaders:

Use Cases: Suitable for confined spaces and relatively lighter workloads, such as landscaping, municipal maintenance, indoor renovation, new rural construction projects, and small farms. They are typically used alongside small transport vehicles like tractors. RAISO’s small-tonnage series is highly regarded in these fields for its compact size and agile steering.

3-4 Ton Medium Wheel Loaders:

Use Cases: Ideal for most earthmoving projects, sand and gravel yards, coal yards, ports, and construction sites. They offer an excellent balance of operational efficiency and load capacity.

5 Ton and Above Large Wheel Loaders:

Use Cases: Primarily used in large mines, heavy-duty ports, and situations requiring operation with large transport machinery over 10 tons. They are characterized by long working cycles and high-volume tasks.

II. Optimize Operational Efficiency: Bucket Capacity is Key

When selecting bucket capacity, two key factors must be considered:

Material Density: The actual weight carried by a bucket of the same volume varies significantly depending on the material (e.g., sand, coal, rocks). Therefore, choose a bucket size based on the primary material you handle daily.

Diverse Attachment Options: Beyond standard buckets, Raiso Machinery offers various specialized loaders and attachments, such as forks for handling hay bales, snow ploughs, and elevated grain buckets. These options meet diverse seasonal and specialized operational needs.

III. Precise Matching: The Worksite Dictates the Choice

Different working environments impose distinct performance requirements on wheel loaders. Thoroughly considering your actual operating conditions is crucial. Is the ground soft soil, muddy farmland, hard quarry rock, or smooth pavement? Different ground conditions demand different tire types and machine drive performance.

Space Constraints: Confined spaces like narrow warehouses, tunnels, or city streets impose strict limits on the loader's turning radius and overall dimensions. Raiso's compact loaders are specifically designed for such restricted spaces, offering flexible and agile operation.

Working Height:If materials need to be lifted to significant heights, such as loading into high-sided trucks, then dump height and lifting capacity become essential parameters. Raiso offers optional extended arms to meet special lifting height requirements.
