Professional crawler loaders: choose the best for your work

The main function of professional tracked loaders is to transport material within a work space, whether it be agricultural, construction, gardening or other. The tracked loader transports very heavy material, simplifying and lightening the work of personnel, who can transfer the material from one place to another, even through narrow or cramped spaces thanks to the extremely small dimensions of these vehicles. The following is an in-depth look at the main types of crawler loader and how to distinguish between a professional and a non-professional one

What differentiates a professional loader from others

The main element that distinguishes a professional wheel loader from a less advanced machine is its ability to formulate two movements simultaneously while maintaining maximum efficiency. This not only simplifies the work to be done, but also optimises the time required. While with a professional machine it is possible to use the boom and body simultaneously in a fast way, with other machines the movements are considerably slowed down and disconnected, resulting in a high and damaging loss of time.

Another element that differentiates crawler machines is the choice and use of materials from which they are made, which influences their resistance and quality. Unlike when the parts are cut from sheet metal, professional wheel loaders are made from thick sheet metal: the parts are cast in such a way as to increase the performance of the machine.

Which loader to choose?

A distinction can be made between three main categories of power wheel loaders according to their performance capabilities:

  1. Low range: mechanical transmission with gears.
  2. Medium-low range: transmission with mixed gear pump (2/3) and/or open circuit pistons.
  3. Top of the range: with variable displacement closed circuit pistons.

The main limitation of low to medium range power wheel loaders is that they do not allow the integration of attachments: either the hydraulic transmission or the boom are used, so it is not possible to use them simultaneously. This type of power loader also operates on two or three speed steps. In special conditions, such as climbing steps or driving on a slippery road, it is essential to be able to measure the speed in detail.

In contrast to this range, the third category of wheelbarrows has a circuit dedicated to the transmission and one dedicated to the attachments: in this way the systems are separate and it is possible to optimise the machine by doing both at the same time. The two circuits can be used together with the same speed and power: all movements are therefore possible in simultaneous mode; the machine walks and moves the boom at the same time.

With the top of the range, it is also possible to modulate the speed independently of the acceleration of the engine revs. Power management is millimetric: from 0 to maximum machine speed for precise, studied and safe movements. Every operation is possible thanks to impeccable modulation.

Cormidi professional tracked loaders

It is precisely in this third category that Cormidi wheelbarrows fall: machines studied, designed and manufactured with the maximum care and passion. Cormidi tracked loaders are equipped with oscillating rollers that make them perfect for any terrain, from the most linear to the most impervious, thanks to their incredible ability to reduce overhangs and adapt to the terrain in all conditions.

You can choose from a wide range of machines, depending on your needs and the type of work you want to do. If you need to transport extremely heavy material, for example, the Cormidi C85 can move up to 850 kg safely and easily. Its robustness and compactness simplify the operators’ work for a functional and efficient result.

A unique model of its kind is the Cormidi C55: the smallest professional tracked wheel loader created, for easy and fast passage in the narrowest and most confining environments, it can also pass through the door of the house.

Conclusions

Professional tracked loaders make a huge difference to the status of a task. Whether in the construction, gardening or agricultural sectors, the load capacity, the integration of attachments and the speed of movement all influence the working time and comfort of the operators. The more professional and high quality the wheelbarrow is, the more working time is reduced, the results are better and the operators can move easily and smoothly in all the operations. Cormidi offers a professional range of tracked loaders to meet all types of needs and environments.
