A wheel loader is a heavy construction machine used for moving and loading materials like dirt, gravel, and sand. It features a large front bucket that can scoop up materials and transport them to different locations. Wheel loaders are commonly used in construction sites, mining operations, and landscaping projects. These machines are equipped with wheels, which provide better mobility compared to tracked loaders. They come in various sizes and capacities, making them suitable for different tasks. Operators can control the bucket's height and angle, allowing for precise loading and unloading of materials.
