To teach you to choose the best slip loader for you

Choosing the right slip loader can be challenging for those who are unsure of the evaluation factors or evaluation methods:

Does the equipment need to work in confined building Spaces?

Is extra traction needed to push the accumulation over soft or muddy ground?

Are additional lifting heights and dumping distances required to load materials onto trucks?

Do you need to go through narrow door frames or do foundation backfill work?

To answer these questions and achieve the best combination of operations, we need to start by understanding the main types, characteristics and accessories of slip loaders, which can help us choose the right machine for the work site and the task. Here are four steps to help you narrow down your options:

1 Understand glide types

Jiuhe offers four types of slip loaders with different levels of power, lift and mobility to help you build, renovate and maintain your projects.

Slip steering loader

As its name suggests, theJiuhe slip steering Loader allows both sides of the wheel to work separately, enabling 360° steering in place, which provides great flexibility.

Four-wheel steering loader

On small workspaces and lawns, a four-wheel wheel loader may be your best choice. This loader can operate four-wheel steering and can also achieve slip steering to maximize versatility while reducing friction to the ground.

Crawler slip loader

Crawler slip loaders have good traction and low ground pressure, which can significantly improve maneuverability in soft, muddy and unpaved ground conditions.

2 Consider typical worksites

Slip loaders and four-wheel steering loaders have an advantage when crossing paved roads due to the fact that they use tires. This makes them the first choice for many demolition, renovation and snow removal tasks.

Crawler slip loaders have a larger contact surface with the ground, so they can provide more thrust and digging force, which in turn makes them more efficient when digging or loading materials, or save time when facing the same workload.

In many parts of North America, a crawler slip loader can add several months of working time per year to typical worksites because it works well on muddy surfaces.

3. Lifting and digging ability

When it comes to the design of the lift arm, most manufacturers can offer two options: arc lift and vertical lift. If it is not necessary to lift a very high height and load high column trucks, then you can choose arc lifting machines.

Another informative factor about lifting is the rated working capacity. Excavating and landscaping contractors generally need slip-loaders with high work capacity ratings because they need to move some heavy things such as dirt and concrete. On the other hand, the average contractor needs a small, versatile machine that can work flexibly in a narrow area.

4 Evaluate the expected utilization

The utilization rate of slip loaders is a key factor, and the more applications you use, the more accessories you are likely to use, and the faster you can recoup your costs. A key financial advantage over owning three different models of slip loaders is the purchase or lease of several different accessories, which is more efficient than repairing and maintaining several different specialized equipment.
