How to choose the right high-performance slip loader?
Posted: Oct 23rd, '24, 04:50
The sliding loader is known as the "sharp knife" grade product in small construction machinery, which is widely used in infrastructure construction, road and bridge, dock loading and unloading, municipal maintenance, sanitation, residential and other small construction environment with powerful functions and flexible mobility. It is a multifunctional operating platform that can meet different tasks.
So, how to choose the right slip loaderequipment for the site? The key is to understand the performance of the equipment and what the project needs to do, such as doing simple soil stacking, lifting, material handling, etc.
Ryan Ruhl from John Deere likes to choose slip loaderbased on the efficiency of the equipment. "Figuring out the size of the project and then choosing the most suitable equipment to complete it is the most reasonable approach." He believes that the use of inappropriate slip loader equipment is not only less effective, but also costs more. For example, if the selected slip loaderhas insufficient lifting performance (insufficient power or hydraulic flow), it will reduce the efficiency of the equipment and lead to an extended construction period.
Therefore, when choosing a slip loader, the following points should be noted.
1. Model and power size
What kind of project to do determines what kind of equipment to choose. Does the equipment need to work in confined building Spaces? Is extra traction needed to push stacked items on soft or muddy ground? Are higher lifting heights and dumping distances required to load material onto trucks? Do you need to go through narrow door frames or do foundation backfill work?
"Some site owners will only buy the most powerful equipment they can buy, but they are only suitable for certain conditions and may not be the best choice in terms of overall cost," said Mr Wang, product manager at Midland Heavy Industries. His advice is that if you're considering adding equipment, doing more heavy work, or expanding your business, buy more powerful equipment than you already have.
The power of small slip loaderis generally below 50 HP, the power range of medium-sized products is between 50 and 70 HP, and large slip loaders usually exceed 70 HP. Understanding the needs of the job can help us choose the right machine.
Two, radial lifting arm and vertical lifting arm equipment selection
The radial lifting arm of the slip loaderswings to the highest point in an arc before reaching the highest point, while the vertical lifting arm lifts directly upward and then outwards to reach the highest point. If your equipment only works the distance from the ground to the top of the cab interval, then radially lifted equipment is a good choice. If you often need to work above the cab or higher, you need a device with a vertical lift arm to do the job.
For example, radially lifted slip loaders are more suitable for work such as short distance gravel transfer, because the bucket is closer to the machine at the lowest point, providing additional force. However, if you regularly shovel material to load the dump truck, a vertical lift slip loaderworks better because the bucket can reach a higher position.
3. Which equipment do you intend to use?
Many customers purchase different accessories in addition, and the high flow hydraulic system can provide greater flow to the accessories. So if you expect the equipment to do more work, then the hydraulic system is very important. It is worth mentioning that the performance of the accessories will be affected by the size of the hydraulic flow and the size of the engine horsepower, which two factors determine the best performance of the working accessories.
Our experience is that when the appliance is a trencher or a mill, greater flow from the hydraulic system and greater power from the engine are required. In addition, other equipment requiring the use of high flow hydraulics include: wheel retainers, trenchers, snow blowers, etc.
Fourth, driving comfort and equipment automation
Many manufacturers have found that users are increasingly interested in driving comfort and automation of equipment control. When the operator has a comfortable seat, a quiet cab, a good view and easy automation, it can make the job easier, so the work efficiency will also bring a certain increase.
