1. The difference in mechanical structure
The mechanical structure of the loader and the excavator is obviously different. The loader uses the bucket as the main working part, and the bucket is installed on the front mounting system, and the movement is completed through the control of the hydraulic system; while the excavator uses the bucket, The main working parts are the arm and the dumping bucket, and the bucket and the arm are installed on the basic slewing part, and the movement is completed through the control of the hydraulic system. There are significant differences in structure between the two, so the applicable occasions and efficiencies are also significantly different.
2. The working principle is different
Loaders are mainly used for operations such as loading, unloading, translation and grading. Its working principle is to complete the transportation, loading and unloading of materials through the loading, dumping and unloading of buckets. It has high operating efficiency and is suitable for earthwork operations, stacking and loading and unloading materials. Excavators are mainly used for excavation, dredging, crushing, slope adjustment and other operations. Its working principle is to excavate or adjust the direction of earth and rock on the working face through the cooperation of working parts such as buckets, arms, and dumping buckets. It is suitable for earthwork operations, road construction, and mining.
3. Differences in operating habits
Loaders and excavators also operate differently. Due to the different work tasks and working environments faced by the two, there are different requirements for the driver's operating ability and reaction speed. The operation of the loader is relatively simple, mainly the steering of the chassis and the movements of up and down, left and right; while the operation of the excavator is relatively complicated, requiring the driver to use the cooperation of both hands and feet to complete the movement of the working parts, and at the same time master operating skills and safety knowledge .
Fourth, the scope of application is different
The scope of application of loaders and excavators is also different. Loaders are suitable for maintenance and reconstruction of urban roads, cargo handling and stacking in factories and mines, such as loading, unloading and handling of earthwork, mud, coal gangue, etc.; excavators are suitable for excavation engineering, transportation infrastructure construction, water conservancy, etc. Engineering, coal mining, oil drilling and agriculture, such as trenching, canal digging, transplanting, building construction and other operations.
To sum up, although loaders and excavators are common construction machinery, they are different in terms of structure, working principle, operating habits and scope of application. Specific needs and applications need to be considered when purchasing and using.
