pyöräkuormaajaan

Pyöräkuormaaja is the Finnish term for a wheel loader. A wheel loader is a heavy construction machine primarily used for loading and transporting loose materials like gravel, sand, asphalt, snow, and demolition waste. It features a large, hydraulically operated bucket attached to the front of the machine, which can lift and dump materials. The machine is articulated, meaning it has a hinge in the middle that allows the front and rear sections to turn independently, providing excellent maneuverability in tight spaces.

Wheel loaders are equipped with four large, rubber tires, which give them their name and allow them to operate on a variety of surfaces, including unpaved ground. They are powered by a diesel engine and are designed for both on-site work and transport over short distances. Their versatility makes them indispensable in construction sites, quarries, mines, agricultural operations, and municipal services. Different attachments can be fitted to the loader arm, such as forks for moving pallets, sweepers for cleaning surfaces, or snowplows for clearing snow. The operator typically sits in a cab located above the front section of the machine, offering a good view of the bucket and the work area.
