How to choose a wheel loader for your market

Start from the material, not the machine\n\nA loader that moves fertiliser all day is not the loader that loads crushed granite. Decide the bulk density of your material first, then the bucket, then the machine.\n\n### 1. Rated load and bucket\n\n- 0.8-1.2 t loaders suit farms, greenhouses and narrow yards.\n- 1.8-2.0 t loaders are the workhorse for sand, gravel and construction sites.\n- 3.0 t and above is quarry and port work, where the cycle time pays for the fuel.\n\n### 2. Engine and emissions\n\nTell us the emission level your customs accepts. We build the same chassis with different engines, so the decision costs nothing if it is made before production.\n\n### 3. Tyres\n\nRock-pattern tyres last longer on stone; standard L2 tyres roll better on soil and cost less.\n\n### 4. Options that pay for themselves\n\n- Quick hitch, so one machine runs bucket, forks and a snow blade.\n- Air conditioning for hot markets.\n- Extra filters and a spare parts kit in the same container.\n\n### 5. Paperwork\n\nCE declaration, certificate of origin, Form E or Form A, and the fumigation certificate should be agreed in the contract, not discovered at the port.\n\n> Send us the material, the daily tonnage and the destination port and we will quote two options: the cheapest that works and the one we would buy ourselves.
