Buying a Compact Wheel Loader

If you need a powerful but small machine to help you carry and transport loose materials on a construction site, farm, ranch, or mine, then you need a compact wheel loader. These machines are designed to make it easy to haul sand, gravel, dirt, fertilizer, rocks, and other materials around your work site so you can easily deposit them where they need to go. Here’s what to consider when shopping for a compact wheel loader.

Size

Compact wheel loaders, as the name suggests, are compact, so they’re not as large or cumbersome as standard loaders, but they do still take up some space. You’ll want to think about how large the machine should be and how much horsepower it needs to have. Typically, these loaders may have between 50 and 90 horsepower and will be easy to maneuver.

Attachments

Next, you must consider which attachments you want your compact wheel loader to have. While a bucket is the standard attachment for carrying those loose materials we mentioned earlier, a compact wheel loader can actually be more versatile if you add more attachments to it. An auger can help you dig holes, while a grapple can haul heavy items like tree stumps out of your way. A pallet fork makes your compact wheel loader excellent for carrying items like boxes or crates or bales of hay in and out of a warehouse or barn.
