Loaders and handling

This category offers used Komatsu, Volvo and Wacker Neuson wheel loaders, used Bobcat S450 compact loaders, as well as Green Boss wheel loaders and telescopic loaders from 1,000 to 2,200 kg. These machines are used to load lorries or hoppers, to move bulk materials such as soil, sand or gravel, and to handle loads on construction sites, on farms or in green spaces.

Selection criteria

1. Lifting capacity

   The stated capacity, for example 1,000 kg, 1,600 kg or 2,200 kg for the Green Boss models, should match the loads you handle most often. Take into account the actual weight of the materials, which varies greatly between soil, wet sand and aggregates.

2. Size and weight of the machine

   A compact loader such as the Bobcat S450 or the Wacker Neuson WL32 can squeeze into tight spaces. Heavier models such as the Komatsu WA320 or Volvo L70E are suited to large volumes and loading lorries.

3. Standard or telescopic arm

   A telescopic arm increases loading height and reach, which is useful for filling a high-sided trailer or stacking. A standard arm offers simple kinematics for loading at ground level.

4. Power source

   Engine power, given in hp on some product pages, affects working speed and the ability to push into a pile of material. Choose a power output consistent with the bucket size and frequency of use.

5. Hours and condition for used machines

   On a used loader, check the hour meter, the condition of the tyres, play in the arm joints and the absence of hydraulic leaks. On articulated models, also check for play at the centre pivot.
