Demo a Wheel Loader With Your Own Soil and Aggregate
Buyers should require a wheel loader demonstration using their actual soil or aggregate, then compare cycle behavior, bucket fill, and rated-load discipline against the quoted configuration.
Ask for the demonstration to run on your own stockpile, not a dealer's prepared material. A 3.5 m³ bucket and 5,000 kg rated load are reference values for this class of wheel loader; confirm how the proposed machine is configured before treating them as targets. Soil and aggregate behave differently, so specify which material will be loaded and whether it is loose, compacted, wet, or blended.
In the request for quotation, ask the supplier to describe the demonstration cycle: digging or loading method, travel distance, stockpile height, and how bucket fill is judged. During the demo, watch whether the operator shortens the cycle by overfilling the bucket, and ask how payload is checked against the 5,000 kg rated load. Compare two bucket or tire configurations if offered, and record cycle times and fill quality for each.
For acceptance, agree on the material, the loading task, and the measurement method in advance. Confirm that the 162 kW at 2,000 rpm and 17,950 kg operating weight figures describe the exact unit offered.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which configuration will be demonstrated, what material will be used, how bucket fill and payload will be measured, and whether the quoted machine matches the demonstrated one.
