I. Wide Applicable Environments
Municipal and Construction Fields
Loaders can complete tasks such as ditch cleaning, road surface demolition, and garbage loading and transportation. They are especially suitable for narrow construction sites or areas with limited operating space. On construction sites, their efficient shoveling and material handling capabilities can accelerate the progress of earthwork projects.
Agricultural and Mining Scenarios
- Farm Work: It is used for plowing, cleaning irrigation ditches, and loading and transporting crops.
- Mine Exploitation: Wheel loaders are suitable for material handling in open-pit mines, while crawler loaders are suitable for rugged terrains, such as the debris removal in coal mines and iron mines. Unmanned loaders can also be applied to the debris transportation in underground mines.
Special and Complex Environments
- Severe Cold Conditions: Customized electric loaders can still operate stably in an environment of -20°C, with a winter endurance of over 6 hours, which is suitable for scenarios such as coal loading and transportation.
- Dangerous Areas: Unmanned loaders can replace manual labor in handling tasks such as the transportation of dangerous chemicals and the cleaning of nuclear waste, reducing safety risks.
II. Remarkable Economic Value
Advantages in Operating Costs
- Fuel Savings: The hourly electricity cost of an electric loader is about 27 - 30 yuan, saving 90 yuan per hour compared with a fuel engine (112 - 119 yuan per hour), and the annual cost savings exceed one million yuan.
- Maintenance Costs: Electric loaders have no engine or gearbox, reducing the annual maintenance cost by 40,000 - 50,000 yuan.
Short Investment Payback Period
The price of a wheel loader is only 1/3 - 1/5 of that of large equipment, and it can replace the workload of 6 workers + hand carts, which is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and temporary projects. For example, a coking group in Shaanxi Province purchased 6 electric loaders. Each loader saves 40,000 yuan in fuel costs per year, with outstanding comprehensive benefits.
Environmental Protection and Policy Dividends
The zero-emission characteristic of electric loaders conforms to the "dual carbon" goals, reducing carbon dioxide emissions (the annual emissions of a 5-ton fuel engine are equivalent to those of 100 passenger cars).
The state provides subsidies and financial support for new energy equipment, accelerating the green transformation of enterprises.
III. Efficient Operating Modes
Flexible Configuration
Select models according to scenarios: Wheel loaders are suitable for flat and hard ground, crawler loaders are suitable for soft ground, and compact equipment is used in narrow spaces.
Intelligent Upgrading
By 2025, the proportion of intelligent loaders will exceed 30%, supporting remote control and AI obstacle recognition, improving operational accuracy and safety.
Conclusion
Through multi-functional adaptability, low operating costs, and environmental protection advantages, loaders create significant economic value in fields such as construction, agriculture, and mining. In the future, with the popularization of electrification and intelligent technologies, their market potential will be further released, making them an important tool in the engineering field.
