We need to have a certain understanding of the classification of loaders

According to the power size, we can divide wheel loaders into the following four types

80 HP or less = compact wheel loader

80 – 150 HP = small & compact wheel loader

150 – 200 HP = Medium Wheel Loader

200 – 250 HP = Large Wheel Loader
