In overseas construction sites, the efficiency difference of construction site loader is often hidden in "material types" — narrow buckets for shoveling sand in Dubai desert construction sites will leak materials; ordinary booms for moving steel bars in German steel structure factories are prone to deformation; lack of quick-change attachments for cleaning garbage in old urban areas in Italy will take 2 more hours. User tests of Hengwang construction site loader show that after choosing the right model, the handling efficiency of loose sand is increased by 30%, and the loading and unloading time of steel bars is shortened by 40%. This guide breaks down the adaptation logic by material type to help you avoid the efficiency trap of "model mismatch".
I. Loose sand and gravel: Wide bucket + wear-resistant bucket edge, less leakage and more loading
For loose materials such as sand, gravel, and lime in Middle Eastern deserts and Australian mining areas, the core demand is "less leakage and more loading". Ordinary narrow-bucket loaders leak 10% of materials per trip, while Hengwang HW926 construction site loader has a bucket width of 1.8 meters and a capacity of 0.6m³. With inclined bucket teeth (spacing 15cm), it can hold materials like a "spoon", reducing the leakage rate to below 3%. Its bucket edge is made of 65Mn wear-resistant steel, with a service life twice as long as ordinary steel, showing no obvious wear after 3 months of operation in Dubai sand yards.
A photovoltaic power station project in Dubai once used narrow-bucket loaders to shovel sand, spending 1.5 hours daily cleaning leaked materials. After switching to HW-926, leakage was almost zero, and the single-trip loading volume increased from 0.4m³ to 0.6m³, with 80 more tons transported daily.
II. Moist clay: Deep bucket + anti-slip bottom plate, no sticking and easy unloading
Clay and silt in rainy areas such as Singapore and Malaysia are easy to stick to the bucket. The residual rate of ordinary loaders after unloading reaches 20%, requiring repeated shaking. The bucket depth of Hengwang HW936 construction site loader is 20cm deeper than traditional models, and the inner wall is coated with Teflon (friction coefficient 0.04), resulting in a clay residual rate ≤ 5%. Its boom lifting angle reaches 45°, and the bucket mouth automatically tilts 60° during unloading, allowing sticky materials to fall off at one time without secondary cleaning.
Field test in a land reclamation project in Singapore: using HW936 to shovel wet clay, the unloading time per trip was shortened from 30 seconds to 10 seconds, saving 26 minutes for 80 trips a day, and the bucket required no manual knocking for cleaning.
III. Steel bars / formwork: Short bucket + reinforced boom, anti-shaking and anti-deformation
In steel structure construction sites in Germany and Northern Europe, loading and unloading of long steel bars (6-9 meters) and heavy formwork are most afraid of "uncontrolled shaking" and "boom deformation". Hengwang HW940 construction site loader adopts a "short bucket + side unloading" design: the bucket length is shortened to 1.2 meters (traditional 1.8 meters), and with a rotatable side unloading device, it can accurately unload steel bars to the designated area to avoid collisions. Its boom is made of 800MPa high-strength steel, which has passed 200,000 fatigue tests, with a deflection ≤ 3mm when carrying 2 tons of steel bars, without permanent deformation.
Feedback from an automobile factory project in Munich: using HW-940 to move 6-meter steel bars, it can stably transport 3 bundles (about 1.5 tons) per trip, twice as efficient as traditional loaders (1 bundle per trip), and the boom showed no deformation in half a year.
IV. Decoration waste: Quick-change attachments + closed bucket, anti-dust and easy switching
In the renovation of old urban areas in Italy and Spain, decoration waste such as broken tiles and waste wood requires "quick switching of attachments" and "dust prevention". Hengwang HW-JC45 skid-steer construction site loader is standard with quick-change interfaces, taking only 5 minutes to switch from bucket to closed garbage bucket (traditional 30 minutes). The closed bucket is equipped with rubber sealing strips, reducing dust emission by 80% compared to open buckets during transportation. Its 1450mm wheelbase design allows flexible steering in narrow sites full of garbage.
A renovation project of an old church in Rome used it to clean garbage: in the morning, the bucket was used to load broken bricks, and in the afternoon, the log grapple was changed to move waste wood. The daily operation time was saved by 2 hours compared to changing equipment, and it met the EU dust control standards.
Case: How High is the Cost of Choosing the Wrong Model?
A complex project in Dubai once suffered low efficiency due to "using ordinary loaders to move steel bars": traditional wide buckets (1.8 meters) could not unload accurately, requiring manual straightening per trip (taking 5 minutes); the boom strength was insufficient, with slight deformation after a week, and the load had to be reduced by 50%. After switching to HW940 construction site loader, each unloading required no manual intervention, the boom showed no deformation, the daily operation efficiency was increased by 40%, and the construction period was advanced by 5 days.
Choosing models by material: One-sentence guide
lLoose sand and gravel: HW926 (1.8-meter wide bucket + wear-resistant bucket edge);
lMoist clay: HW936 (deep bucket + anti-stick coating);
lSteel bars / formwork: HW-940 (short bucket side unloading + reinforced boom);
lDecoration waste: HW-JC45 (quick-change attachments + closed bucket).
