HOW TO SPECIFY A LOADER: SIZING IT TO PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS

THE WHEEL LOADER MARKET IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, WITH OVER 30 MANUFACTURERS PRODUCING MORE THAN 100 DIFFERENT MODELS, OF WHICH ABOUT 75% ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED FOR THE CONTRACTOR END USE MARKET. A SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS MUST BE MADE IN ORDER TO CHOOSE THE LOADER OR MIX OF LOADERS APPROPRIATE FOR A GIVEN JOB OR TYPE OF ACTIVITY. THE ELEMENTS OF SUCH AN ANALYSIS ARE JOB CONDITIONS, CALCULATION OF LOADER PRODUCTION, BUCKET CAPACITY, AND CORRECTION FACTORS FOR EFFICIENCY. MEANS OF QUANTIFYING THESE ELEMENTS AND RELATING THEM IN AN ARITHMETIC EQUATION ARE GIVEN.
