Difference between Forklift and Loader
Author:
1. Functional differences
The main function of a scraper is to shovel and transport, achieving a self shovel and self transport operation mode.
Loader focuses on loading operations, although its functions are diverse, it can easily replace various work tools such as universal buckets and rock buckets, and is equipped with push shovels, cranes and other tools according to working conditions, achieving multi-purpose use of one machine. However, the main application scenarios of loaders are still focused on loading.
2. Classification differences
Scrapers are classified as earth and stone engineering machinery, and their core function is to shovel and transport earth and stone.
And loaders are classified as loading and unloading machinery, with their core application scenario being loading operations, although they have diverse functions and can adapt to different operational needs.
3. Structural differences:
Scrapers have a relatively small ground clearance distance, and their bucket action mainly relies on the extension and retraction of the tipping cylinder. This design makes it particularly suitable for working in environments with low resistance and relatively flat terrain. The loader is equipped with a long boom, with boom cylinders on both sides of the boom, and a tipping bucket cylinder on the bucket. This allows the loader to easily pour materials directly into the truck compartment, a function that cannot be compared to a loader.
4. Differences in application fields
Scrapers play an important role in the mining industry, especially in the excavation and transportation of underground mines. Scrapers and dump trucks together form the main force of trackless mining equipment, driving the advancement of mining technology. In the market, loaders are mainly divided into two types: internal combustion and electric. The former is suitable for well ventilated environments and combines flexibility and efficiency; The latter pays more attention to environmental protection and has no pollution emissions.
