Loader (equipment) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (385 words) |
 | A loader, also called a front loader, front end loader or shovel, is a type of tractor, usually wheeled, that uses a wide square tilting bucket on the end of movable arms to lift and move material. |
| Large loaders, such as the Caterpillar 950G or Caterpillar 966G, usually have only a front bucket and are called Front Loaders, whereas small loader tractors are often also equipped with a small backhoe and are called backhoe loaders or loader backhoes. |
| Loaders are used mainly for uploading sand, dirt and mud into trucks, clearing rubble and digging, though a loader is not the most efficient machine for digging as it cannot dig very deep below the level of its wheels, like a backhoe can. |
