How to choose the right wheel loader? LuGong for your analysis

In engineering construction, agricultural production and material handling, a wheel loader has become indispensable assistants with their dexterity and powerful functionality. However, in the face of a wide range of products on the market, how to choose a wheel loader that can meet the operational needs, but also cost-effective, is a problem faced by many users. As a leader in China’s construction machinery industry, Shandong Lugong Machinery Co., Ltd. will provide you with a detailed selection guide to help you make accurate decisions.

First, clear needs: start from the rated capacity

The first step in choosing a wheel loader is to determine the tonnage you need. That is, the rated load capacity, determines the carrying capacity of the wheel loader operation. If you choose too large, it will result in idle equipment and fuel waste; if you choose too small, it will not be able to meet the intensity of work, and even affect the work schedule.
1-2 tonne class small wheel loader:
Recommended model: T930 wheel loader & T938 wheel loader
Use scenario: Suitable for environments with narrow space and relatively small workload, such as landscaping, municipal maintenance, indoor renovation, new rural construction and small farms. They are usually used with small tractors and other means of transport. Lugong Machinery’s small tonnage series products, with their compact size and flexible steering, are well received in these areas.
3-4 tonne medium-sized wheel loaders:
Recommended models: LG946 wheel loader & L3500 wheel loader
Usage scenarios: they are suitable for most earthmoving projects, sand and gravel quarries, coal yards, ports and construction sites. They achieve a good balance between operational efficiency and load carrying capacity. LuGong LG946 has a good reputation in the market for its reliable performance and durability.
Large loaders of 5 tonnes and above:
Recommended model: LA956 wheel loader It is mainly used in large mines, heavy-duty terminals, and occasions where it is necessary to work with large transport machinery of more than 10 tonnes.
Optimising operational efficiency: Bucket capacity is the key

When choosing the bucket capacity, you need to consider the following two points:

Material density: The same capacity of the bucket, when loading different materials (such as sand, coal, stone), its actual weight will be very different. Therefore, you need to choose the right bucket according to the type of material that is most important to your daily operation.
Diversified Attachment Choices: In addition to standard buckets, Shandong Lugong Machinery also provides a variety of shaped wheel loaders and attachments, such as forklift trucks, snow ploughs, and raised grain hoppers, which can satisfy your diversified needs in different seasons and under special working conditions.

Precise matching: working conditions determine the choice

Different working environments have very different requirements for wheel loader performance. Therefore, it is important to fully consider your actual working conditions. Is it soft ground, muddy farmland, hard mine or smooth road? Different ground conditions place different demands on tyre selection and machine driveability.
Space constraints: Narrow warehouses, tunnels or city streets place strict limits on the turning radius and overall size of the wheel loader. Lugong’s compact and skid steer wheel loaders are designed to be flexible in these narrow conditions.
Working Height: If materials need to be lifted to a higher position, such as loading a high-bay truck, the unloading height and lifting capacity are parameters that must be taken into account. Lugong provides optional parts such as extension arms to meet special lifting height requirements.
